Read their fine print. They pay "high" interest only for a few months.

You mean JPMorgan? It doesn't take retail deposits in Simgapore.

Unregistered the best savings account to save money in is the CPF!!! Forced deduction every month on pay day whether you like it or not... Backed by stable goverment, 100% capital gauranteed with decent interest rates..... the only problem is that it is a fixed deposit for life... Can put in but cannot use for anything much other than buying your HDB....

I was wondering what type of account should I open for better interest and which bank.

I would like to thank those for their sincere replies. Thank you
No offense intended, but I think based on the amounts you have quoted, it makes more sense to go with a bank with branches and atms near your home and office than go about scouting for interest rate deals.

Any difference is likely to be very small at <0.2% for similar account comparison and that hardly justifies incuring inconvienience for the additional interest. Banking in your scenario should be more about accessibility and relevance of banking facilities rather than pittance rate differences.

tangoraven hi op, you can try the ocbc msa 123 account if you can committ to a regular saving amount and for several years (3 earns you 1% interest).

OCBC Monthly Savings Account

i'm using dbs mysavings for my regular savings amount which has .25% interest but i'm thinking of swapping to ocbc but very ley chey...
