Yup! However, do take note that RHB is bank saving deposit whilst the rest are insurance link saving product.
RHB is fuss free account. But if you can meet some criteria you can consider hsbc ega promotion with higher interests for 3months

Do you guys max out Singlife before looking at other alternatives (no criteria needed)?

Next 90k at 1% is pretty decent looking at how banks are cutting rates so aggresively.

90k at 1% is a viable option. Is the 1%p.a. fixed or subject to regular changes? You can consider DBS FD at 1.1% (up to $49,999) for 10 months if you don't need the fund.;)

Same as the first 10k at 2.5%, both subjected to changes.

I guess the Dash EasyEarn would be better at 2% guaranteed for the 1st policy year and pretty flexible in terms of withdrawal.

Was looking at SIF GoSavers initially but saw that they are cutting rates soon.

Is Dash Easyearn 2% up to 20k? SiF reduced the rate wef 15 July. Current RHB HYSA Plus rates are the best for no frills, no hoops day2day saving account.

can we have joint account (2 names) for HYSA Plus?
Good question. I did not see that application via current mobile app provides joint account application. Like most banks, I would think for joint account, it would need to be done at the bank. You may want to call CSO to confirm and share your finding here.;)

Only gonna open RHB next week just in case rates change.

Opened CIMB on 1st June immediately get nerfed effective 15th June. :s22:

Lucky CIMB no fall-below fee, can just leave it if necessary.

All i see is this page with the table and nothing else.
