CIMB announced their 1.98% promo for Mar and Apr.
Can I know how it works?
They say

first 25k: 0.5% pa
next 25k: 1.08% pa
next 25k: 1.58% pa
next 25k: 0.5% pa

So if I have 100k, I won't get 1.98% for all, is that correct? I will get 0.5% for the first 25k, 1.08% for the next 25k, and so on? Or is it calculated as you get 1.98% if you put in 100k?

^ is the base IR calculation
AMount = 100k
Interest sum = 915
EIR = 0.915%

So assuming you MEET ALL requirements as shown on website - https://www.cimb.com.sg/en/personal.../savings-accounts/cimb-fastsaver-account.html

All these cmi rates really depressing.
ya lah but to each their own ya , the traction varies from person to person right , risk tolerance , capital guranteed , liquidity , risk averse , what age and stage of life , etc.

I am sure der r ppl who r 100% only in capital guranteed instruments and are satisfied with these rates , as long as can sleep well at night haha.

Some want only capital guranteed , some into corporate bonds or funds , some UTs while some into stocks & ETFs , some only DBS , some in SG market while some foreign stocks & forex , crypto bitcoins , etc etc
and not to forget the shiny things , gold / silver hahaha.

I found a single‐premium 2Y endowment plan. 1.72% pa seems the highest guaranteed yield currently. I use it to hedge my housing loan. :giggle:

Manulife Goal 2025 (III)
- Capital guaranteed at maturity with a guaranteed yield of 1.72% p.a.
- Total potential yield of up to 1.88% p.a.
- Single Premium from SGD 5,000 to SGD 50,000
- Available in cash or Supplementary Retirement Scheme (SRS)

My RM said you will also get $20 eCapital Voucher from Manulife if referred by me and not an existing Manulife policy holder. Pm me if interested.
Hi please pm
