Try ICIC Bank

[Headache2010]

HSBC 12mth


$25k - 1.05% + $20 Shopping vouchers
$200k - 1.15% + $120 shopping vouchers

Anyone interested to be HSBC premier customer ($200k) can let me know… More vouchers for you.

Depends on your amount and tenor period. Most banks like DBS, OCBC, HSBC have the same fixed deposit interest rate for the initial 3 months and it differs after that. Should also see which bank has hidden fees like ‘set up charge, early termination fee etc’.

I park some fund in NZD fixed deposit for a few years. So far so good…interest much better than Sing FD.

if you willing to try foreign curreny FD, returns are quite good in today's market. however, there is currency risk. citibank has its monthly promotion on foreign currency FD going on now. stanchart rates also good considering its low min deposit compared to other banks.

before embarking on foreign currency deposit, people should read up on interest rate parity theory first

there is no free lunch
