Yes,
DBS Multiplier Account is now more attractive than before, at least
for me. Why? The real secret is in Part 2 of this article which I
will only release on March 2, 2020.
How to qualify for 3.5% p.a. on first $50k in DBS Multiplier Account?
A.
Meet Income (Mandatory) + 2 more categories (ie credit card and
investment)
Income
– credit mthly salary and/or dividends via giro from CDP. If you
cannot meet DBS multiplier criteria for salary credit via giro, u
can explore the following options:
a.
Open a POSB/DBS joint savings account with family members who can
credit their salary via giro to the join account. Then all joint
account holders will qualify for bonus interest in their own
Multiplier Account.
b.
U can build a mthly stream of dividend credits from CDP by
purchasing SSB (Singapore Savings Bonds). Just purchase $500 of SSB
every month for 6 consecutive mths. This mthly purchase will
generate dividend credits every 6 mths.
Credit
Card – this is the next easiest category to meet. U only need to
charge at least 1c (just charge $1 leh) to any DBS/POSB credit card
to qualify.
Investment
– U just need to start RSP on UT/ETF to qualify for bonus interest
for first 12 mths. RSP (regular savings plan) using POSB/DBS Invest
Saver. There is no better time than now to start my RSP. Why?

B.
Total Transactions
The
number of categories u can meet only determines the Balance Cap in
your Multiplier Account which can earn bonus interest. For eg. I
can only meet Income + 2 Categories, so the maximum balance in my
Multiplier Account which can earn bonus interest is 50k.
To
earn higher interest rate tiers, u need to be able to clock/hit the
transaction limits to earn the higher interest rate on your 50k. The
minimum transaction limit u must hit to earn bonus interest is 2k, ie
Total transactions of Income + total transactions of each category
must hit at least 2k to start earning bonus interest.
So
the higher the transaction total u can clock/hit, the higher the
interest rate. To get the highest interest rate of 3.5% pa, u need
to clock $30k per month.
So
why is the DBS Multiplier Account better after Feb 1, 2020?
