Standard Chartered Deposit Rates

Standard Chartered Deposit Rates, Standard Chartered fixed deposit schemes allow you to earn greater interest on your savings than you would otherwise get with traditional savings accounts under the condition that you do not touch your deposited funds for a pre-set period of time.



The bank offers 2 different types of term deposit accounts: Singapore Dollar Time Deposits and Foreign Currency Time Deposits. With the Foreign Currency Time Deposits, you may choose to deposit your funds in any of the 8 major currencies offered by the bank.

The minimum deposit placement amount required for both types of accounts is 5,000 units of the respective currency. You can earn as much as 2.7% p.a. interest on tenures of up to 60 months when you secure your excess funds in term deposits with Standard Chartered.
