Bank of China (Singapore) has announced the latest updates to its time deposit rates, providing an opportunity for customers to earn up to 3.35% per annum.
These rates have undergone a slight adjustment, showing a reduction of up to 0.1% for specific tenures compared to the earlier rates released on 5 Aug. The revised rates, effective from 12 August 2024, offer various tenure options tailored to meet the diverse financial planning needs of individuals in Singapore.
Time Deposit Rates as of 12 Aug 2024
The newly introduced rates cover a broad range of terms, providing flexibility for both short-term and long-term savers. These offerings are particularly beneficial for those looking to make their savings work harder while maintaining the security of a time deposit. Notably, the interest rates vary depending on the deposit method, with mobile banking users enjoying higher promotional rates.
For traditional over-the-counter placements, a minimum deposit of S$10,000 is required, whereas those opting for mobile banking placements can start with as little as S$500, making it more accessible for a wider audience.
