POSB MySavings Account (MSA) Offers Up To 1.5 Per Cent Interest Rate

POSB MySavings Account (MSA) Offers Up To 1.5 Per Cent Interest Rate

My, my! This is truly a unique savings account worth consideration. To earn POSB MySavings Account (MSA) savings interest rate of up to 1.5% per annum, you need make new savings deposits with a sum of $1500 every month.

Yes. Cash of $1500 to be deposited into POSB MySavings Account (MSA) every single month. You have to get hold of that sum of money (presumably from your salary or other sources of earnings) and put it into POSB MySavings Account (MSA) monthly on a regular basis to earn these savings rates.

The moment you deduct some savings and cash from POSB MySavings Account (MSA), your savings interest earned will drop to the next lower tier of interest rate for the savings deposited. This way, you are forced to “save” your savings every month. In effect, it is equivalent to a regular investment. In POSB MySavings Account (MSA), you have to keep on 'saving' (putting money into the account) to chase after that 1.5 per cent interest earning for this POSB MySavings Account (MSA).

There is a also a POSB MySavings Account Kids MSAKids Account where you need to have a child older than 5 years old belonging to you, whose name you can use to start this POSB MySavings Account (MSA) to earn one of the best savings rates in the Singapore bank savings account market.

The minimum savings sum to put into POSB MySavings Account (MSA) per month is $50. This sum earns you savings interest of 0.45% which is not bad compared to the standard POSB Savings Account.

There is no bank savings account opening charge, bank account closing charge and maintenance charges for POSB MySavings Account (MSA) in Singapore.

You can earn even higher savings interest rate of of 1.6% for POSB MySavings Account (MSA) but this is applicable only to Treasures Bank Depositors (who need to be savers with plenty of cash to deposit).

(Interest rate is based on the Monthly Savings Amount)
FOR MONTHLY SAVINGS AMOUNT$50 - $290 0.4500

$800 - $1,490 1.2000
$1,500 - $3,000 1.5000

Recommendation To Maximise Use of POSB MySavings Account (MSA)
As a short term way to boost your interest income, one option is to take money from another bank savings account of yours and 'deposit' it into the POSB MySavings Account (MSA) monthly to 'earn' one of the best interest rates on savings account in Singapore. Once you find another deposits account that pays more (check http://Singapore-Fixed-Deposits.com for even higher rates), you can then switch out of POSB MySavings Account (MSA) to make your hard-earned money earn even more money.

Best Strategy To Earn Highest CPF Interest Rates

Best Strategy To Earn Highest CPF Interest Rates


At Singapore Savings Account Rates blog, we share with you the best strategy to earn the highest CPF interest rates. If you are younger than 55 years old, this may be the best strategy that can apply to your circumstances to earn the highest CPF interest rates.


The strategy is simple and easy: transfer funds from your Ordinary Account (OA) to the Special Account (SA).


The reason behind this strategy is best understood by looking at the best and highest interest rates offered by CPF on its different accounts.


The CPF Ordinary Account (OA) currently earns 2.5% per annum. The CPF Special Account (SA) earns 4.0% per annum. Thus by transferring funds from CPF Ordinary Account OA to CPF Special Account SA, you get 1.5% higher CPF interest rates.



Over a longer period like 30 years as illustrated in the example given in the Sunday Times article of 3 August 2008, you grow your CPF nest egg by more than three times with the additional 1.5% CPF interest rates.


You can transfer up to the prevailing CPF Minimum Sum of $106,000 (less your existing SA balance and amount used for investment).


The best strategy that we highlight is also a quick and easy way to earn the highest CPF interest rates for your funds that are kept by the government's Central Provident Board (CPF).


It is best not to lose in this strategy to earn the highest CPF interest rates you can get from CPF. This extra 1.5% gain in CPF interest rates can translate to a large fortune in the future.

Citibank Maxisave Sweep Account

Citibank Maxisave Sweep Account

Citibank Maxisave Sweep Account earns you bank savings interest starting from 0.35% per annum. Strictly speaking though, the Citibank Maxisave Sweep Account is not your typical Singapore Savings account.

It is structured to earn higher interest rates if you hold the savings for periods like 6 months to 1 year. It still allows you to withdraw sums prematurely, but then you will earn a lower interest rate. If you have less than $10000 to save, this account will be out of your reach.

We give you more details on the Citibank Maxisave Sweep Account, based on details released on their website.

Citibank MaxiSave Sweep Account lets you enjoy instant access to your cash in your account including funds in your unfixed deposit. You can access your account from over 125 ATMs anytime. You will also earn 0.35% p.a. on the withdrawn amount from your unfixed deposit (subject to terms and conditions).

After a minimum tenure of 1 month in Citibank Maxisave Sweep Account, on your unfixed deposit you can withdraw cash in blocks of S$1,000 and still earn a high interest of 0.35% p.a. on your withdrawn amount (based on completed tenure). Thus you can have instant access to your cash, like a savings account.

The minimum sum to start Citibank Maxisave Sweep Account is S$10,000 and the maximum amount is one million Singapore dollars per customer.

Recommendation
To maximise your interest earnings, you should aim to keep your savings longer in Citibank Maxisave Sweep Account, like the way you do for a fixed deposit.

For more information, refer to Singapore Fixed Deposits' Citibank Maxisave Sweep Account post at http://singapore-fixed-deposits.com/
