CIMB Singapore launches online application for SGD fixed deposits

It will offer promotional rates for the deposits until 31 July.

CIMB Bank Singapore launched an online SGD Fixed Deposits application service for its new customers. According to a press release, it is the first bank in the country to offer online application for SGD Fixed Deposits.

New customers won’t have to physically apply for an SGD FD account at the bank’s branches. Customers will be required to fill up an online application form to open an SGD FD account and a CIMB FastSaver (online savings) account. The latter is used to facilitate the crediting and debiting of funds to and from the SGD FD account.

Single applicants can then proceed to make transfers from their accounts with other banks in Singapore to their CIMB FastSaver account for placements into their CIMB Fast Fixed Deposits accounts. Joint applicants will both have to make transfers from their respective individual accounts with other banks locally to go through the same process.

In conjunction with the launch, CIMB has introduced exclusive online promotional rates, for their three-months, six-months and 12-months SGD FD from 1 July to 31 July 2018 for all CIMB Fast Fixed Deposit customers.

“As part of a series of enhancements that CIMB is undertaking, our existing customers with CIMB Clicks Internet Banking were among the first to enjoy the promotional rates from 17 June 2018 onwards. This allowed them to place new SGD Fixed Deposits or adjust their maturity instructions,” said CIMB Singapore Singapore country head and CEO Mak Lye Mun.

“The response has been excellent so far, and I believe that our new customers would find this service and the promotional rates just as attractive,” he added.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
