UOB Stash Account

9 Oct: The day when the account hit $100,000.
31 Oct: $3.26 interest credit received
1 Nov: $111.24 bonus credit received

Total interest: $3.26 + $111.24 = $114.50

Today is 1 Nov. May I know if I need to transfer out $114.50 by end of today, so that my account still remains as $100K, ready to accumulate interest to get the full $170 for November?

Or is it on 31 Oct, I need to transfer out $3.26 interest credit, and on 1 Nov, I need to transfer out $111.24 bonus interest?


$100,000 X 2.04% = $2040 annual interest
$2040 / 12 months = $170 Interest per month

Just leave balance as $100,001 as per UOB TMRW app balance recommendation.

Abit unsightly but less assumption required. Next month just leave it as $100,002 and so on.

Erm may I know what’s the reason to leave the $1 behind?

Anything more than $100,000 means base interest will be 0.05%, and bonus interest will be 0%. Basically no bonus interest earned.

Unless you transferred out the interest paid on last day of the month, your MAB for that month will not be an exact 100k. Might be for eg $100.000.14 or something.

To get next month interest, you need to be same or more than previous month. If you flat 100k, you WILL NOT get the bonus interest since 100k < 100,000.14. Just putting an extra $1 saves you that hassle.

For your example, you only hit 100k on 09 Oct 2025, so your MAB for Oct be definetely be less than 100k. Should be ok to leave just 100k in there. But next month you will need to put in that extra $1 unless you transferred out the interest paid on 30 Nov 2025.

Does the above make sense?

My banker said funds will only be earmarked on 1 Nov. So you will receive a SMS after that. But the 88 days will count from the day your deposit was in. Interest credited only on 28 Feb 2026
Hi, was your fund earmarked yet? I have not receive any sms after application
