Up To 2.5% High Interest Rate – Trust Bank Savings Account Singapore
Last updated on 27th December 2022, Tuesday
Trust Bank Savings Account is now giving a high daily interest rate of up to 2.5% starting from 1 November 2022. π°
I would say that the high 2.5% interest rate, coupled with the free $35 FairPrice vouchers for signing up with a Trust Bank Referral Code: NXEGUJH4 is even way more attractive now.
If you are still sitting on the fence, read on to find out why I signed up for this new bank.
Trust Bank Savings Account:
What Is Good About Trust Bank?
– No minimum balance that you need to maintain your account or fall-below fee
– No monthly service fee, account closure fee, ATM withdrawal fee, card replacement fee and annual fees
– No foreign exchange fees, not even the 1% Visa charge
– ATM cash withdrawals at Trust ATMs or Standard Chartered Bank ATMs (You need to receive the Physical Card before you can use this)
– High Interest Rate of up to 2.5% from today, 1st November, up from the 1.4% previously, and is still calculated daily
Other than the free $35 FairPrice vouchers from Trust Bank, one other thing that interest me is the high interest rate for their savings account.
The base interest in October which you can get is 1% for the first $50,000 that is in your account, and you did not have at least 5 transactions that month.
From 1 November, the minimum interest rate will be increased to 1.5% on your first $75,000!
Once you have made 5 transactions, you get a bonus and your total interest rate increases to 2% for non-union members and 2.5% for union members (NTUC union member).

What does it mean when interest is calculated daily? Why does it matter?
For NTUC Union members, you earn a maximum of 1.4% in October, while non-Union members earn 1.2%. If you don’t have at least 5 transactions, you earn only the base of 1%.
Here is an example:
Let’s say you deposited $50,000 into your account on 30 October.
Base: $50,000 x 1% x 31/365 = $42.46
Union Member Bonus: $50,000 x 0.4% x 31/365 = $16.98
Non Union Member Bonus: $50,000 x 0.2% x 31/365 = $8.49
Total Union Member (Monthly) Interest October: $59.44
Total Non-Union Member (Monthly) Interest October: $50.95
If you suddenly decide to withdraw your deposited amount of $50k out on 31 October, you would still have earned one day’s interest.
(Union Member) Earned Interest 30 October: $1.91
(Non-Union Member) Earned Interest: $1.64
This is why it matters that interest is calculated daily.
You have full control of your money, unlike fixed deposits or others that are paid annually. π€ And the best thing is there are no fees whatsoever. They are even giving you $35 free FairPrice vouchers just for signing up with a Trust Bank Referral Code: NXEGUJH4 and making one transaction.

Enjoy saving and earning! π΅
