CIMB Singapore raises deposit interest rate tenfold to up to 2% annually

StarSaver savings account holders can enjoy the new rate without any deposit caps.

CIMB Singapore is the latest bank in the Lion City to raise its interest rates for its deposit accounts.

The bank is offering up to a 2% per annum interest for all its CIMB StarSaver savings accounts, with no deposit cap.

The first S$100,000 deposited will enjoy a 1% interest rate; the next S$150,000 will get 1.5%; and the next S$250,000 and above will get 2%.

This is ten times higher than the past interest rate, which was at 0.2%.

“There are no multiple conditions to fulfill to earn up to 2% p.a. interest rate. There is no need to do salary-crediting with us, have a minimum spend on your CIMB credit card or any of those prerequisites such as purchasing an insurance or investment product from us,” CEO Victor Lee bank said in the bank’s press announcement.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
