The 1 year interest rate for August 2020 Singapore Savings Bonds has fallen as low as 0.27%, thus any of the fixed deposits promotion below will beat the Singapore Savings Bonds.

I have shared many other financial instruments that is similar to what fixed deposits can offer. One good alternative is buying an endowment plan. The latest one is NTUC Income Gro Capital Ease which offers you a guaranteed return of 1.85% per annum over 2 years.

Endowment plans guarantee your capital upon maturity which is similar to what fixed deposits offer.

In May, I have signed up for a Singlife account, which is an insurance savings plan that offers you 2.5% p.a. for up to S$10,000. The interests paid in May and June was S$18.72 and S$20.29 respectively based on a deposit of S$10,000.

I have heard of Endowus Cash Smart and FSMOneā€™s Auto-Sweep account that offers higher interest rates but since I have not read them in detailed, I am not going to compare against them here.

Last month in December, I have placed a 6 months fixed deposit with CIMB Bank that gives me an interest rate of 1.80% p.a. The good news is that CIMB Bank has maintained its interest rate of 1.80% p.a. for its Chinese New Year Fixed Deposit Promotion. They are probably the only bank that maintain the high interest rate of 1.80% p.a.

While searching for Chinese New Year fixed deposit promotions, I found a promotion from OCBC that gives you vouchers instead of cash for a 6 month locked in period. The interest rate is 1.70% p.a. if you compare the value of the vouchers against cash. You can read more about it below.

The next good deal is from Hong Leong Finance where they maintain their interest rate of 1.73% p.a.
