Any questions?

  1. What is POSB SAYS and how is it different from the POSB SAYE Account?

    POSB SAYS is a benefit programme specially made for NSFs that bundles the POSB SAYE Account as one of the components of the programme.

  2. I need a separate account for my NS salary crediting. How do I apply for it?

    For your NS salary crediting, simply click here to apply for a Deposit Account. All account fees will be waived for you up till you turn 29 years old.

  3. I’m going to serve my NS soon. When should I apply for the POSB SAYS programme?

    To maximise the 2% p.a. bonus interest for the POSB SAYE Account, you should apply for it during the first month of your NS allowance being credited with us.

    For the 2% cash rebate on eligible cards and card discounts, no registration is required! You’ll automatically enjoy these benefits as long as you hold either of the debit cards mentioned in the POSB SAYS programme.

  4. Do I qualify for POSB SAYS regardless of my vocation?

    Yes, any Full-Time National Serviceman (NSF) can apply for POSB SAYS. i.e. Singapore Armed Forces, Republic of Singapore Navy, Republic of Singapore Air Force, Singapore Police Force and Singapore Civil Defence Force.

  5. Will the benefits for POSB SAYS stop when I complete my NS?

    You’ll enjoy the 2% p.a. bonus interest rate on your POSB SAYE Account for up to 24 months, so long as the account is not closed, and you continue to fulfil the bonus interest criteria. The 2% cash rebate for the qualifying debit cards will prevail so long as you hold either of the debit cards and meet the spend criteria.

  1. Can I register for multiple POSB SAYE Accounts?

    No. Each NSF is eligible to register for only one POSB SAYE Account under the POSB SAYS programme.

  2. How do I know when the POSB SAYE Account “Cash Gift Interest” be credited?

    Cash Gift Interest amount will be reflected by the 7th day of the 13th & 25th month in your POSB SAYE Account.

  3. Do I need to close my POSB SAYE Account after 2 years of contribution?

    You can continue to contribute to your POSB SAYE Account. However, the Cash Gift Interest will not be applicable after 24 months from your first contribution date or after your ORD date, whichever is earlier.

  4. Can I make a withdrawal from my POSB SAYE Account?

    Yes. But if you make a withdrawal, you’ll earn only the base interest rate of 0.05% p.a. on the account balances for the month, and the accumulated Cash Gift Interest for the past months (including month of withdrawal) shall be forfeited.

  5. As my NS rank allowance is expected to increase over time, am I able to increase the monthly contribution amount over time?

    Yes, you may increase your monthly contribution amount any time. You can change your monthly savings amount, savings date and debiting account any time through iBanking under “Change MySavings/SAYE Account Instruction”.

  6. My NS term ends in less than 24 months. Am I still eligible for the 2% Cash Gift Interest post-ORD?

    Base interest rate will be accorded for contributions from the 25th month onwards. Please note that monthly contributions will not be eligible for the 2% Cash Gift Interest for months where there is no monthly NS salary credited.
