Multiplier is simpler than ever for all!

Example 1: First Jobber/ Working Adult

Meet Jack. He’s a first jobber who credits monthly salary of S$3,500 to his DBS/POSB savings account and transacts in two categories.

First Jobber Working Adult Multiplier Example

Jack has a total eligible transaction of S$3,800 and gets a bonus interest of:

  • 2.10% p.a. for the first S$100,000 and
  • Base interest rate for balance above S$100,000​

First Jobber Working Adult Multiplier Bonus Interest Rate Table

To unlock higher interest rates, Jack can transact in one more category. By purchasing an insurance, Jack transacts in 3 categories and his interest rate increases from 2.10% p.a. to 2.40% p.a.​

Example 2: Full-time National Servicemen (NSF)

William receives S$755 monthly allowance credited to his DBS/POSB savings account and has DBS PayLah! Retail Spend of S$100.

Multiplier Example NSF

With a total eligible transaction of S$855, he qualifies for interest of

  • 1.80% p.a. for the first S$50,000 and
  • Base interest rate for balance above S$50,000

Multiplier Bonus Interest Rate Table NSF

To earn higher bonus interest, William can choose to take up an investment product which means he will fulfil 2 categories. His bonus interest will then increase from 1.80% p.a. to 2.10% p.a. His balance cap also increases from S$50,000 to S$100,000, allowing him to earn bonus interest on a higher amount.​

Example 3: Tertiary student

This is Andrea. She’s 21 years old, full-time student and spends S$100 through DBS PayLah!.

Multiplier Example Student

With a total eligible transaction of S$100, she qualifies for interest of

  • 1.50% p.a. for the first S$50,000 and
  • Base interest rate for balance above S$50,000.

Andrea can increase her interest rate from 1.50% p.a. to 1.80% p.a. when she credits her income through internships, part-time work, adding up to S$500 or more a month.

Example 4: Retiree

Philip is retired and receives his CPF LIFE monthly payouts through DBS. He also transacts his monthly expenses using PayLah!.

Multiplier Example Retiree

With a total eligible transaction of S$900, he qualifies for interest of

  • 1.80% p.a. for the first S$50,000 in his Multiplier Account and
  • Base interest rate for balance above S$50,000.

Multiplier Bonus Interest Rate Table Retiree

To unlock higher interest rates, Philip can transact in one more category. Using Vickers, he invests S$1,000. Philip now transacts in 2 categories and his interest rate increases from 1.80% p.a. to 2.10% p.a. His balance cap also increases from S$50,000 to S$100,000.​

Bonus Interest

When do I get my interest?

Your DBS Multiplier Account pays you interest in two parts:

  1. Base interest: This gets added to your account on the last day of each month.
  2. Bonus interest: If you've earned any bonus interest, this gets added to your account by the 7th working day of the next month.

How is interest calculated?

Here's how we work out your interest:

  • We add up all the eligible transactions for the full month. This total helps us figure out your bonus interest rate.
  • The bonus interest rate applies only to your end-of-day SGD balance. The balance cap is the maximum amount of money that can earn bonus interest.
  • We calculate the interest earned for each balance level. Then we round this off to the nearest four decimal places.
  • We add up each day's interest earned and round this off to the nearest two decimal places.
  • Finally, we add up the entire month's interest.
