Is your DBS statement showing "ITR" transaction code? ITR is for transfers between DBS bank accounts(including Singlife's DBS account).

And, this "15 days to update" is even slower than if cheques are used to fund accounts.

I did the transfer this morning and sure enough it is showing as OTHR. However Singlife account updated balance < 1 min

Hope our interest don't shrink though.. :s7:

Expect to shrink since they managed to raise some funds and deal closed?

Or we as retail small peanut depositors overrate our contribution to their biz buyout of aviva sg?

Quote ST: "The merger would make Singlife the largest insurer in Singapore."

(Premier article)

from a lightweight newcomer to Singapore's largest insurer overnight ... wow

This not the first time Singlife acquires another insurer, back in 2018, this happened:
New insurer Singapore Life acquires Zurich Life Sg and S$6b of coverage

From a newcomer back then to now, these are good signs to show they are serious in expanding their business and aspire to stay and grow in Singapore.

Their Singlife plan has done great marketing for them :) in fact it is very successful. In the past, many of us don't even know it exists. Now who don't know Singlife? Whenever u say Singlife, they'll say 2.5!

So Singlife if you are reading this, please Don't ever drop the rate ok? :D

Hoping for them to raise the amount limit for 2.5%!

Singlife originated from Singapore right?

If that’s the case will be strange for them to exit Singapore totally.

Just to check in general how much money do you guys put into this account? Min 10k? or more since the other savings account interest also sucks at the moment.

how does how much others put matter leh?

If you can get a better yield than 2.5% u should not put money in here. if not

10k @ 2.5%
anything more up to 100k, 1% then put here.

I still got accounts yielding at least 1% so hold off first.

Just Google singlife referral code and register. The sgreferralcodes.com link works well with clear instructions
