Have a question about foreign currency fixed deposit? Find an answer here.

 

What is a foreign currency fixed deposit, and how does it work?

A foreign currency fixed deposit is a time-bound savings product where your funds are placed in a chosen foreign currency, such as USD, AUD, or GBP, for a fixed period at a specified interest rate. This type of deposit allows you to diversify beyond your local currency holdings while potentially earning more attractive returns depending on the prevailing rates. You’ll need a foreign currency account to place the deposit and select a tenor that best suits your financial goals.

 

On the other hand, a savings account is meant for setting money aside while earning some interest along the way. It’ is a simple way to grow your balance over time, and you still have easy access to your funds when you need them.

 

A high-interest savings account takes things a step further. It offers a higher interest rate than a regular savings account, usually when you meet certain conditions, such as maintaining a minimum balance, achieving a minimum credit card spend or crediting your salary. It is a good option if you want to earn more on your savings.

What are the current USD fixed deposit rates in Singapore?

The rates can vary depending on the deposit amount, tenor, and market conditions. In Singapore, financial institutions typically offer tiered interest rates based on the size of the placement. For the latest and most accurate rates, please refer to our official rate table or contact us directly.

Can I open a USD fixed deposit account in Singapore without a foreign currency account?

No, a foreign currency account is required before you can place a USD fixed deposit in Singapore. This account acts as the source and maturity account for the deposit. Once you have your USD account, you’ll be able to apply for the fixed deposit and select from a range of available tenors and interest rates.

Are AUD fixed deposits available, and what is the minimum amount?

Yes, AUD fixed deposit options are available to account holders in Singapore. These accounts allow you to place your savings in Australian dollars for a fixed period with a guaranteed return. The minimum placement typically starts from AUD 5,000. As with other foreign currency fixed deposits, you’ll need to open a corresponding AUD foreign currency account first.
