ANZ MoneyLine account - Earning Interest on Credit Balance
If you have excess cash deposited into the account, you will be paid interest for the credit balance of that particular day. The minimum credit interest payable is S$1. Currently, interest on credit balance is at 0.6% p.a.

CIMB StarSaver Account (no lock-in)
Minimum deposit S$5,000.
Increment deposit: S$500 or more = 0.8% p.a.
Increment deposit: Less than S$500 = 0.5% p.a.
To enjoy the 1% p.a. interest, deposit a minimum of $5000 and $500 monthly top ups. You can also make a larger initial deposit in advance, and the bank will convert the extra amount into equal portions of $500 a month so that you need not top up every month in order to enjoy the 0.8%p.a.

Recommended CDA Account:
If you are eligible for CDA (Child Development Account), consider Standard Chartered Bank which offers 0.3% p.a. on the family saver account. Under Family Saver, the 2nd applicable account to be opened must be an e$aver account, e$aver Kids! account or World Partner Savings Account. If the Trustee of the CDA has more than one applicable account, then Family Saver will apply to one applicable account only and it will apply to the account that is opened the earliest. If the Trustee of the CDA has an existing applicable account, then Family Saver will automatically apply to that account.
