Singapore Savings Bond programme exceeds $1b

The program has more than 37,000 investors.

The Monetary Authority of Singapore announced that the Singapore Savings Bond (SSB) programme has exceeded S$1 billion in outstanding amount with more than 37,000 investors. According to MAS, the programme has appealed to small savers, with 55% of all applications comprising investments of $10,000 and below.

"MAS is encouraged by the response and will continue to raise awareness of SSBs as a safe and flexible way to save for the long term," the authority said.

Since the start of the programme, MAS noted that there is a significant number of investors that have applied for SSBs online through DBS/POSB's Internet Banking portal, besides the ATMs of DBS/POSB, OCBC and UOB.

"We have received requests for online options from the other participating banks, and are pleased to announce that three additional online application channels are now available. Interested investors may now apply for SSBs through OCBC’s and UOB’s Internet Banking portals and OCBC’s mobile application," MAS said.

In response to requests from the public, MAS will provide regular email updates to subscribers, which include information on the latest SSB interest rates.

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.
