Local Savings Interest-Rates War Exploded on 1st Sept 2022 among banks - loan interest-rates expected to raise further

I think many kiasu sinkies either keep swapping banks whenever they see a higher interest and forgo the initial deposits and some keep putting the 1 mth term.

if don't want to switch in and out (because no lock-in)
UOB 10-mths 2.4%pa, 12-mths 2.6%pa
also not bad

I listen to my boss @glockman to buy crypto.
I dump everything into crypto.
He says make or break.

The Singapore dollar has weakened 3.8% against the dollar in 2022, but has strengthened against all of its Asian peers with the exception of the Hong Kong dollar.

My basic economics understanding:

Interest rate up = money supply down
Interest rate down = money supply up

Being a Priority Client in SCB, I am given 2.2% for their E$AVER account for the next 6 months.

Is it still 300k to be their priority client ? I used to be 1 when I deposited 300k with them.

I don't know. I just keep some amounts, sometimes over S$1k (to avoid monthly charges) and sometimes over S$600k and they just retained my Priority status eversince.

For 300k once I reduced to 50k priority immediately removed.

For 300k once I reduced to 50k priority immediately removed.

Sometimes, I also don't know how they work. My RM has been changed several times already until now I also don't know who is my present RM. Anyway, I will also give up my Priority status if they will decide to impose charges in the future. I had already given up my SCB Malaysia Priority status when I transferred my RM500k funds to another Malaysian bank. Otherwise, they told me that there will be monthly charges.

Probably also because you don't have a trading account with them. I used to trade over S$600k with their online platform. But nowadays I had switched to FSM ONE since their commissions are much cheaper and I am also a DIAMOND status in FSM ONE.

6 to 9 months ago, UOB had first-mover advantage and offered FD rates better than malaysian banks in Singapore. Thereafter T-bills offered better rates than FD until their yields weakened below 4% again (3.88%pa last done) and SSB fell to <3%pa.

This CNY period, OCBC attracted waves of deposits from premier banking clients, up to 4.18%pa for 8-months Fixed Deposits, which is also better than Malaysian banks and fixed deposits.
