AUD Fixed Deposits

I searched the Internet to find out the interest rate on 3 month fixed deposit offered by various banks in Singapore.

Small Large
deposit deposit
ICICI 8.29% 8.34%
ANZ 7.58% 7.58%
RHB 7.3% 7.3%
DBS 6.99% 7.21%
UOB 6.38% 6.58%
HSBC 6.2% 6.5%


Note: Large deposit is usually for SGD 200,000 or more. But it differs according to the bank.

Tip: Source the internet to get an idea about the interest rate offered by the bank on the deposit. Usually, 3 month is a good period to invest, unless you wish to take a longer term view. You can convert your SGD to the foreign currency with a online stockbroker and transfer the foreign currency to the bank that offers the best interest rate.
