Service fees that are typically charged for failing to maintain the minimum average daily or monthly balances in one's retail bank account can also be waived till Dec 31. The same goes for bank fees for failed Giro transactions set up to pay for insurance premiums, electricity and phone bills, among others.

ST report no need to apply to waive

CNA say must apply to waive

"Meanwhile, individuals whose incomes are impacted by the virus outbreak can apply to have service fees, which are typically charged when one fails to meet the minimum average daily or monthly balances in their retail bank accounts – waived until Dec 31."

who to believe ?

From MAS website :

Waiver of Fall-Below Bank Account Service Fees and Failed GIRO Charges

Individuals who are not able to meet the relevant minimum average daily or monthly balances for their retail bank accounts can apply to have fall-below service fees waived up to 31 December 2020. Individuals who have set up GIRO arrangements for automated deductions of payments from their retail bank accounts can apply to have bank fees for any failed deductions waived up to 31 December 2020. This does not affect any action that payee companies may take for failed payments, including late payment fees (if applicable).

Banks will require individuals to demonstrate that their incomes have been affected by COVID-19.

ST trying to cover too many things including loans. Some need to demonstrate impact some no need.

MAS website is clear because they break into different areas - Defer Repayment for Residential Property Loans, Defer Repayment for Commercial and Industrial Property Loans, Waiver of Fall-Below Bank Account Service Fees and Failed GIRO Charges..... And under each section, they indicate whether need to apply or demonstrate impact.
