Standard Chartered Bank Singapore has launched Wealth $aver, the first deposit account in Singapore that accords interest based on total existing Asset Under Management (AUM), which includes total deposit, investment and insurance products held with the bank.
Exclusive to its Priority Banking segment, clients can earn up to 3.50% p.a. interest on the first $500k of deposit balance with no lock-in period and no spend criteria.
StanChart said that Wealth $aver was developed on the back of a series of qualitative and quantitative research with over 200 affluent individuals in Singapore across various demographics, occupations, and wealth distribution.
According to the research, it was revealed that 83% are attracted by high-interest rates and prefer a straightforward proposition that offers more value, and 67% said that they are willing to move their investments to another bank if it helps them earn a higher interest.
As part of the Wealth Booster promotion, clients will get an additional 1.50% bonus interest for 12 months when they either invest a minimum of $120k in eligible unit trusts, bonds or structured notes or purchase an insurance product with a total annual premium of at least $20k within a calendar month during the promotion period.
