I receive 82.6 SGD for Feb bonus interest and i put 50,000 since beginning. Is it correct number ?

Yes.
Bonus interest is calculated on a daily basis.
(i) The prevailing or preferential interest rate is applied to the end-day S$ balance in your Multiplier Account.
(ii) Each day’s interest is rounded off to the nearest 2 decimal places.
(iii) The entire month’s interest is then summed up.

For a full 50k balance at 2.2% band, daily interest is
50000 * 2.15/100 * 1/365 = 2.9452 = $2.95 (rounded to 2 d.p.)
Monthly bonus interest = 2.95 * 28 = $82.60
The remaining base interest 0.05% was credited at end Feb already

are we able to see our monthly avrg balance through ibanking?

also, if interest is calculated on a daily basis, does it mean that dbs does the daily interest calculation at the end of the calendar month, after confirming which interest tier we fall in?

Hi all, just to check, for this account understand it is based by transaction. The giro payment, can it be giro payment to my dbs credit card? And investing, does dividends counted?
