Looking for the best fixed deposits in September 2020 in Singapore? If you have 50K, you should read my previous post on Where Will You Put 50K? before you jump straight into Fixed Deposits.

Next, forget about the Singapore Savings Bonds. The 1 year interest rate for October 2020 Singapore Savings Bonds has fallen as low as 0.26%, thus any of the fixed deposits promotion below will beat the Singapore Savings Bonds.

Cimb Fixed Deposit Rate 2020 Irs

I have shared many other financial instruments that is similar to what fixed deposits can offer. One good alternative is buying a short term endowment plan. Endowment plans guarantee your capital upon maturity which is similar to what fixed deposits offer. Most of the short term endowment plans are on limited tranche basis. I have not done any look up for the best endowment plans in September yet. Thus, you can read more about Best Endowment Plans In August 2020 here.

In July, I have signed up for a Dash EasyEarn, which is an insurance savings plan that offers you 2.0% p.a. for the first year up to S$20,000. The estimated interest rate p.a. is 1.5% thereafter.

However, if you are planning to sign up for Dash EasyEarn, I suggest to sign up for Singlife Account first whereby you earn 2.5% p.a. for the first $10,000. For the balances beyond S$10,000, you can then place the rest of the money with Dash EasyEarn to earn 2.0% p.a.

Nevertheless, if you still prefer traditional fixed deposits, below are the best fixed deposits promotion that I have found for September 2020. The current low interest rates offered by most banks remained unattractive to me.

Among the banks below, I prefer the fixed deposit from DBS and MayBank given that they offer much higher interest rate per annum for a 12 month placement as compared to the rest of the banks. You will not find any banks except DBS that pays you 1.15% p.a. for a S$20,000 placement.
