Bank Accounts | Fixed Deposits

Here’s everything you need to know about fixed deposits in Singapore, including the best-fixed deposit rates, how they work, and whether they’re the best place to stash your money. Fixed deposit rates vary monthly depending on when you open the account, and the interest rate you earn is determined by the amount you deposit and the length of time you keep the account. Tenures can range from one month to four years, with longer tenures of two to three years receiving higher interest rates.

Fixed deposits are a low-risk investment that is practically risk-free, making them an excellent place to keep your emergency funds. But, if you’re still unsure, the Singapore Deposit Insurance Corporation (SDIC) will insure your deposits for up to S$75,000.

DBS – Fixed Deposits in Singapore

DBS provides a competitive fixed deposit rate of up to 1.7% p.a.
