CIMB Bank Singapore has refreshed its online Singapore Dollar Fixed Deposit promotion, offering up to 1.75% p.a. for eligible Preferred Banking placements and up to 1.70% p.a. for Personal Banking placements.

The promotion runs from 7 August 2026 to 31 August 2026, unless CIMB ends it earlier at its discretion. Eligible placements start from S$10,000, with a maximum of S$1,000,000 per placement. Multiple placements may be held in an eligible account, while any amount above S$1,000,000 remains subject to the bank’s approval.

The strongest listed rate is available on the nine-month and 12-month tenors for Preferred Banking customers. Compared with the earlier 1 August 2026 update, the new maximum is 0.15 percentage points higher 💹.

A fixed deposit may suit cash that can remain untouched for a chosen period. The benefit is a known promotional rate after successful placement; the trade-off is reduced access to funds before maturity.

Existing customers can refer to CIMB’s SGD Fixed Deposit placement guide for existing customers (PDF). It covers tenor selection, placement amount, maturity instructions, source-of-funds details and source-of-wealth declarations.

⏳ Early withdrawal and maturity

Early termination removes the promotional-rate entitlement and may result in lower or no interest. CIMB’s terms indicate that interest is payable only for completed quarters; for example, a withdrawal after five months may receive interest for three months only. Unless different maturity instructions are provided, principal and interest are renewed at the prevailing promotional rate, when available, or the board rate for the same tenor.

🛡️ Deposit insurance reminder

Eligible Singapore dollar deposits of non-bank depositors are insured by the Singapore Deposit Insurance Corporation for up to S$100,000 in aggregate per depositor per Scheme member. Foreign currency deposits, dual currency investments, structured deposits and other investment products are not insured.

💡 Alternative: CIMB Why Wait Fixed Deposit-i

The CIMB Why Wait Fixed Deposit-i Account uses the Murabahah concept and pays profit upfront instead of at maturity.

For online placements of S$10,000 and above, its displayed promotional profit rates are 1.35% p.a. for three months, 1.65% p.a. for six months, and 1.70% p.a. for nine and 12 months. These figures match the conventional Personal Banking rates across all four listed tenors.

Compare liquidity needs, maturity instructions and alternative deposit rates before committing funds. 📌

Rates, eligibility and promotional availability may change at CIMB’s discretion. Confirm the final rate and terms directly with the bank before placement.
