Bank of China (BOC) Singapore has refreshed its Personal SGD Time Deposit (Fixed Deposit) promotional rates for new placements via the BOC Mobile Banking App 📱, effective 16 Feb 2026.
Update 9 Mar: BOC Singapore SGD Time Deposit App Promo Up to 1.40% p.a. from 9 Mar 2026
For cash that should remain stable with predictable returns, this structure stays useful for short-to-medium planning horizons 😊. Rates are fixed at placement, helping with clearer cashflow planning and lower volatility versus market-linked instruments ✅.
Against the previous revision on 2 Feb 2026, the 12-month tier with S$500 minimum has improved to 1.35% p.a. (previously 1.32% p.a.) 📈. The highest published rate remains 1.40% p.a. for the 12-month S$200,000 tier 🎯.
At a glance 👀
- Top published promo rate: 1.40% p.a. (12 months, S$200,000 minimum) 🚀.
- Lower minimum path: up to 1.35% p.a. with S$500 minimum (selected tenors) 🙂.
- Placement channel: BOC Mobile Banking App only, under New Placement 📱.
- Minimum placement: mostly S$500; one 12-month tier requires S$200,000 💵.
- Tenor note: a dash indicates no published promo rate for that tenor ⏬.
Note: If website and app/counter rates differ, app/counter rates prevail

- Eligible account: a BOC Savings or Current Account is required for funding the placement.
- Rate lock point: final applicable rate is the one shown at confirmation screen at booking time 👀.
- Early withdrawal: premature break may result in reduced or zero interest, and charges may apply under bank terms ⚠️.
