Closing date of application is on 25th September 9pm.

 First year interest is 1.74% & 10 year interest is about 2.42%. You may refer to the table below ;










 Each Savings Bond has a term of 10 years and pays interest every 6 months. Savings Bonds cannot be traded like conventional bonds or shares. Interest income is exempt from tax. Only individuals above 18 years old can apply.

 Savings Bonds are fully backed by the Singapore Government. And because the bonds can always be redeemed for the full amount invested, investors are protected against capital losses when interest rates change.

 This makes them one of the safest possible investments for individuals to hold.








 Save up to 10 years, and earn interest that “steps up” or increases over time. Hold your Savings Bond for the full 10 years and receive an average interest per year that matches the return from 10-year Singapore Government Securities yields, which has generally been between 2%-3%. Flexible : Or, choose to exit your investment in any given month, with no penalties.

There is no need to decide on a specific investment period at the start.








Before you Apply: You will need: A bank account with DBS/POSB, OCBC or UOB. Visit any of the three local banks’ branches in Singapore to open a bank account.

 An individual CDP Securities account linked to any of your bank accounts through direct crediting service (DCS). CDP is the custodian for Savings Bonds and will process applications, interest payments and redemptions. Visit CDP's webpage for information on opening your CDP Securities account.

 $2 transaction fee A non-refundable transaction fee will be charged by the bank for each application request.









After you have Apply: MAS will allot the new Savings Bond among applicants on the 3rd last business day of the month (called the "Allotment Day")You will receive the first interest payment 6 months after the bond is issued. Interest will be automatically paid into the bank account that is linked to your CDP account.

 The application results will be available on the Announcements page after 3.00pm on Allotment Day. Should the total amount of applications exceed the amount on offer in a particular month, you may not get the full amount you applied for (why not?). The excess cash will be refunded to you by the end of the 2nd last business day of the month.

Savings Bonds will be issued on the 1st business day of the following month. You will be notified by CDP via mail of the amount of Savings Bonds allotted to you. You can also check your holdings online through the CDP Internet service or by calling CDP at 6535-7511.








 Received your interest : You will receive the first interest payment 6 months after the bond is issued. Interest will be automatically paid into the bank account that is linked to your CDP account. Interest will be paid every six months after that, on the 1st business day of the month. The interest payments will be reflected in your CDP statements. When your bond matures Each Savings Bond has a term of ten years. At the end of ten years, your principal and the last interest payment will be automatically credited to your DCS bank account.

You do not need to take any action, and the $2 transaction fee is not applicable in this instance. Redeeming early You can redeem your Savings Bonds in any given month before the bond matures, with no penalty for exiting your investment early. To redeem your bond: Submit your redemption requests through the DBS/POSB, OCBC or UOB ATMs, or Internet Banking portals. Redeem in multiples of $500 up to the amount you have invested for each bond. You can redeem more than one bond per month. A $2 transaction fee will apply for each redemption request. Please note that you will not be able to amend or cancel submitted redemption requests.

The redemption period opens at 6pm on the 1st business day of each month and closes at 9pm on the 4th last business day of the month. Redemption proceeds will be paid by the end of the 2nd business day of the following month. Will I receive any interest?  Savings Bonds pay interest every 6 months.

If you redeem your bond when there is a scheduled interest payment, you will receive the scheduled interest together with your redemption amount. If you redeem before the scheduled interest is paid, you will receive a pro-rated amount, called the accrued interest, which is the interest you have earned but have not been paid.
