In a term deposit, money deposited by a customer with the Bank is held for a fixed term at a fixed interest rate. Interest rates offered on these deposits vary with the tenure, value and currency of the deposit. Term deposit is a savings proposition that can help you earn fixed returns on your savings.
Term deposits are currently offered to individual customers only on fixed rate basis.
The currencies acceptable for a term deposit account are SGD, USD, GBP, EUR, AUD, CAD and CHF. The minimum deposit requirement is 5000 currency units in any currency.
Term deposits can be placed for as short a period as 7 days and up to maximum of 3 years.
Interest rates offered on term deposits vary with the tenure, value and currency of the deposit. As the rates applicable vary on a weekly basis, you can confirm the interest rates applicable by checking here.
The interest* can be paid out quarterly, semi-annually, annually or at the time of maturity of the term deposit depending upon choice of customer as intimated to the Bank.
*Please note intermediate payouts like quarterly, semi -annually, annually are only for SGD and USD deposits, for foreign currency deposits like AUD, CAD, EUR, GBP, CHF interest is paid only on maturity.
You have to provide maturity instructions at the time of deposit placement specifying which of your bank accounts you wish the funds to be credited to on maturity.
However, if your instructions are received on a Saturday or Sunday, such instructions will only be processed on the following business day. Daily interest will be calculated accordingly till your instruction is processed.
Yes, you can opt for auto renewal at the time of opening the term deposit. Auto renewal allows your term deposit to get renewed automatically for the same period opted by you. The rates applicable shall be the rates prevailing at the time of such renewal.
No, term deposits are non-transferable and non-negotiable.

In case a fixed deposit is withdrawn prematurely, do note that the Bank may not pay all the interest accrued from the time of opening the fixed deposit up to the time of its premature withdrawal. Additionally, there is also a premature withdrawal fee of 1% flat, payable on the principal amount and interest (on the amount considered by the Bank to be payable as interest), subject to protection of only the principal amount and not the interest accrued. Please visit our branches and check with our branch staff for more details and consider carefully before performing a premature withdrawal of your fixed deposit
For example:
A person wishes to close his 2 year fixed deposit prematurely.
Scenario A. Where closure is within 30 days of opening the deposit, no interest would be payable.
Scenario B. Where deposit is held for a period greater than 30 days.
| If deposit sought to be withdrawn is held for period for which deposits are offered by Singapore Branch (3, 6, 12, 18, 24 months and so on) | If deposit sought to be withdrawn is held for a period that falls between two tenures for which deposits are offered by the Singapore Branch | If interest has been paid out |
|---|---|---|
| Interest calculated at the rate applicable for deposits of such tenure (as existing at the time of opening of the deposit sought to be withdrawn), less the premature withdrawal fee of 1% flat on the principal and on the interest, subject to protection of only the principal | Interest calculated at rate applicable for deposits of the shorter of the two tenures (as existing at the time of opening of the deposit sought to be withdrawn), less the premature withdrawal fee of 1% flat on the principal and on the interest, subject to protection of only the principal | The premium is adjusted against any payment due to the customer, this would mean that even in cases where principal is protected, the amount returned could be less than the principal to the extent of interest already paid out to the customer. |
| So, in this example, if he is closing prematurely in exactly one year, since Singapore branch offers one year deposits, customer will get the rate which a one year deposit offers (when he had opened his two year deposit) less 1% withdrawal fee on principal and interest | Hence, in this example, if he would break the deposit in 15 months, the customer would still get the rate which a one year deposit offers (when he had opened his two year deposit) less 1% withdrawal fee on principal and interest |
Premature closure of term deposit will not be ordinarily allowed. In case there is a need to withdraw the term deposit prematurely, the request will be considered in extraordinary circumstances (For example, where such premature closure is required under any applicable law or regulation, or in relation to any estate related matters). If the request is approved by the Bank, no interest will be paid and there may be a loss to your principal amount of the term deposit.

Yes, in case of premature withdrawal subject to protection of the principal amount, the amount repayable to the customer will be calculated as follows.
- If deposit is withdrawn within 30 days of opening of deposit, no interest would be payable.
- Where deposit is held for a period greater than 30 days.
- In case the deposit sought to be withdrawn is held for a period equivalent to a tenure for which deposits are offered by Singapore Branch, the interest on the deposit will be calculated at the rate applicable for deposits of such tenure (as existing at the time of opening of the deposit sought to be broken), less the premature withdrawal fee of 1% flat on the principal and interest, subject to protection of the principal.
- In case the deposit sought to be withdrawn is held for a period that falls between two tenures for which deposits are offered by the Singapore Branch, the interest on the deposit would be calculated at the rate applicable for deposits of the shorter of the two tenures tenure (as existing at the time of opening of the deposit sought to be broken), less the premature withdrawal fee of 1% flat on the principal and interest, subject to protection of the principal.
- In case where the interest has been paid out, the penalty is adjusted against any payment due to the customer. This would mean that even in cases where principal is protected, the amount returned could be less than the principal to the extent of interest already paid out to the customer.
