I applaud Standard Chartered Bank's constant product innovation for their retail banking business. Their latest Bonus$aver current account, together with its accompanying Bonus$aver credit and/or debit card(s), further boosts both their Deposits and Cards product suite.

So how does the new account work?

• 1.88% p.a. interest is awarded for the first S$25,000 with a monthly minimum S$500 retail spend on the card(s) linked to the account.
• The 1.88% p.a. interest comprises (1) prevailing interest and (2) bonus interest rates applied on the average daily balance.
• Prevailing interest rates are 0.10% p.a. for deposits <S$200,000 and 0.20% p.a. for deposits ≥S$200,000.
• Prevailing interest rates are daily computed and credited monthly.
• Bonus interest is computed at calendar month end and credited on the 1st working day of the following calendar month.
• Any average daily balance in excess of the S$25,000 cap will only earn interest based on the prevailing interest rates.
• The linked card(s) do not earn any 360° Reward Points and CashBack.

As part of the product launch special, Stanchart will credit S$100 CashBack to the linked credit card when customers open the account with a S$50,000 deposit.
