10 Best Savings Accounts in Singapore with the Highest Interest Rates

2025 has been a whirlwind for savers. On 1 May, both UOB One and OCBC 360 slashed their rates, each dropping to 3.30% p.a. when you credit your salary and spend on your card. Just a month later, on 1 Jun 2025, Standard Chartered turned heads by buffing its Bonus Saver account, bumping the maximum interest rate from 6.05% p.a. to a whopping 8.05% p.a. if you hit all the criteria.

Now, just as Singaporeans were adjusting, OCBC 360 is set to get nerfed once more on 1 Aug 2025. Under the new structure, even if you credit your salary, save, and spend on your OCBC credit card, you’ll only get 2.45% p.a.—a far cry from the highs we saw just months ago.

The savings account landscape is changing fast, and banks are making it trickier than ever to score the top rates. Between ever-shifting hoops—salary credit, card spend, insurance, investments, and more—savvy savers need to keep up with the latest updates.

Most of us aren’t going to be taking a home loan, buying insurance from the bank, and investing with the bank—and certainly not all at the same time. What will you earn if you only fulfil 2 or 3 criteria, such as crediting your salary and spending on your credit card?
