I think the difference is that those on private invitation is 1.6% on the full balance, instead of incremental balance for public. also, private is for 3 months (until 30 Apr) but public is for 2 months (until 31 Mar).

... no difference for those whose Jan balance is $0.

Customers with wealth holding are defined as customers who hold either an Eligible Investment Product or Insurance Product purchased through the bank. An “Eligible Investment Product” refers to (i) Unit Trust(s), (ii) Bonds, (iii) Structured Notes, or (iv) Equities, with exclusion of foreign currency exchange transactions; and investments using the Central Provident Fund Investment Scheme / Supplementary Retirement Scheme.

Your eligible Bonus Interest Rate is assessed based on your wealth holdings at the end of each calendar month during the promotion period.”

As long as I hold the investment product at the end of each calendar month , I will be entitled to the higher interest , right ? There is no need to buy on that calendar month. So I can buy one time ,and just hold it. Also, there is no mention of value , so any amount will do ?

I have two eSaver accounts — one joint account and one single-name account.

Can I simply transfer funds from the joint account to the single-name account to qualify for the eSaver fresh funds promotion?

Or do the funds need to be transferred out first (e.g. joint account → DBS → single-name account) to be considered fresh funds?

Thanks. Today called their hotline, they can't tell, asked me to check with the relationship manager. fainted.
If you call the banking hotline and expect answers for securties related questions, you won't get a straight answer. They will usually channel you to your RM or the trading desk.
