DBS raises fixed home loan rate, scraps 5-year fixed package: report

The new rate is 0.03 percentage points higher than the previous 2-year fixed rate.

DBS Bank has raised its two-year and three-year fixed home loan rate to 2.75% per annum, reports Bloomberg, based on a local report.

Singapore’s largest lender raised the rates on all its home loan packages on 28 June and scrapped its five-year fixed rate package for owners of public housing apartments.

The bank raised the rate on its two-year fixed rate package by 0.3 percentage points to 2.75% per annum, while the three-year fixed rate package is now 0.15 percentage points higher at 2.75% per annum.

UOB and OCBC also raised their rates last week, with their 2-year rates at 2.65% per annum.

Singapore home sales were at a six-month high in May, with the city-state’s rebounding economy fueling demand for housing.

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.
