      Good savings account to have if you have other UOB credit cards to hit higher interest rates. Even though the interest rates have been nerfed in recent months, still a decent interest rate to get, considering the market.

      One of the highest interest that any bank offers for now. EIR 5% for 100K. However, you need to spend $500 using UOB One card. Without this spending, you cannot get the bonus interest.

      There will be a change in 1 May 2024 on the interest rate.

      [Interest] The effective interest rate of 5% assuming you have 100k is very attractive. Even for normal folks with about 30k or less cash, the interest of 3.85% is decent too. This is just a savings account after all and 0 risk since it is insured by SDIC up to 75k. The online banking experience is pretty decent too. I have no complains here.

      [Fuss Free] This is one of the high-interest savings account of the 3 local banks in Singapore. I find it attractive as it is relatively fuss-free - you get your high interest from meeting either one of two criteria; spend $500 monthly OR spend $500 & credit your salary (or perform 3 GIRO transactions). You'll need a One Card to fully utilise your savings with this one. This is great for when you don't want to/ can't meet the 3-5 steps require by other savings accounts, which may involve Insurance, investments, loans, or increasing your daily average of your savings. [Online Banking] Their Online Banking and Mobile App does seem outdated when you compare it to OCBC or DBS'. There's not much to see or do beyond your daily needs. That said, there's some work being done and you can see new features being added in like SimpleInvest and SimpleInsure. [Customer Service] UOB's customer services has always been prompt, frank, and patient with me and my inquiries so kudos to them!

      If you're referring to online transactions such as shopping on Shopee and Lazada; yes! In fact if you shop on Shopee, you get additional 5% cashback with the UOB One Credit Card

      the interest rate is high! So it is good for salary crediting and savings. Good for users who have very low risk in investments

      How to Get the Highest Interest Rates for UOB One Savings Account?

      To enjoy the UOB One bonus rate, all you have to do is meet Category A's criteria of spending a minimum of S$500 on a UOB Card each calendar month.

      This isn't too hard to meet if you plan out your monthly expenses like groceries and monthly recurring bills.

      Qualifying UOB Cards include:

      To maximise and get the highest possible interest rates possible, you'll want to hit Category B instead.

      The interest rates for Category B are:

      • 0.50% p.a. bonus for the first S$15,000 of your account balance
      • 0.55% p.a. bonus for the next S$15,000 of your account balance (S$15,001 to S$30,000)
      • 0.65% p.a. bonus for the next S$15,000 of your account balance (S$30,001 to S$45,000)
      • 0.80% p.a. bonus for the next S$15,000 of your account balance (S$45,001 to S$60,000)
      • 2.50% p.a. bonus for the next S$15,000 of your account balance (S$60,001 to S$75,000)
      • 0.05% p.a. bonus for total account balances above S$75,000

      Is UOB ONE the One Best Savings Account for You in 2020?

      Despite the many changes to the interest rates, all existing qualifying criteria for the UOB One Savings Account remains unchanged.

      Overall, it's relatively easy to perform and fulfil the two UOB One Account actions required in order to qualify for Category B interest rates. Additionally, UOB also offers flexibility for those who cannot perform the salary crediting action by allowing you to perform 3 GIRO transaction actions instead.

      So if you're a freelancer or self-employed person who does not have a regular salary credited to your account, you can still qualify for Category B interest rates.

      If you're thinking of alternatives to the UOB One savings account, it's important to note that given the current low-interest-rate environment that we're in, it's not surprising if the other banks will also continue to review and adjust their interest rates for their high-interest savings account accordingly.

      Pros of UOB One Savings Account:

      • Overall, UOB ONE provides competitive interest rates
      • It is a simple and fuss-free account that does not require the fulfilment of many criteria to qualify for the bonus interest rates
      • Suitable for consumers who plan to credit their salary and existing UOB cardholders who can spend a minimum of $500 a month via qualifying UOB cards

      Cons of UOB One Savings Account:

      • Does not incentivise additional spending on other financial products like loans, investments, or insurance
      • Requires relatively high account balances of at least S$60,000 to reap the highest bonus rates possible
      • Not suitable for those not looking to spend from this account
