Elastiq allows adhoc top up up to 200K .Safe to do so?
Generally would be safe but SDIC only covers to 100k..

pple do hold more than 75k in their bank accounts beyond the cover.. so depends on your risk appetite..

for short term i think not bad uh since it is guaranteed 2.68% p.a and only 6 years. v few short term savings this interest rate. can consider.

actually not many of us have many "6 years" left... so cannot anyhow say *only* 6 years =:p

but yeah, it's a good product actually, higher than CPF and good place to park spare cash.

For those with Elastiq, do you guys withdraw the interest every month or keep it in so that you can enjoy the loyalty bonus*?


*Receive an additional 0.3% of the average monthly Account value for the past 36 Policy months as a loyalty bonus every 3 years if no withdrawal has been made before.

What is the point of withdrawing the interest?

Withdrawal is only allowed in multiples of S$500, I thought..? If your monthly interest is that much you could in theory withdraw every month, but yes you do lose the loyalty bonus mentioned below.

*Receive an additional 0.3% of the average monthly Account value for the past 36 Policy months as a loyalty bonus every 3 years if no withdrawal has been made before.

So essentially with a no-withdrawal at any time of S$50,000 - the maximum that was allowed to be deposited into Elastiq - the company will pay an extra S$150 in the 37th month.

i withdrew to try the withdrawal process so already not possible for myself, also i feel no point banging on the 0.3% bonus, really not much for something u have to hold so long to get..

You mean there is a $50k top-up limit or total amount?

50k was the maximum initial amount you can put into elastiq.. He is assuming you put in 50k and never perform any top up.. 0 withdrawal bonus he calculated $150 in the 37th month

i believe prevailing rate applies on any top up as it does not record the "tranches" of when you top up.

You could technically withdraw every few months, but little point doing so unless you have somewhere else to park that gives 1.8% or better without lock up?
