Wolf Money(high interest saving account)

-

 


The Vivid saving account offer by Singapura Finance has the highest interest offer to any saving account for amount below 20k in Singapore currently. On average the interest is slightly below 1.175% for $19999 and below but there are a few t&c. You wil be given a prepaid MasterCard with every account opening. The saving account come with e wallet(MasterCard). Before you spend, one need to transfer from vivid saving account to e wallet. All application has to be done online. 

There are other things to look out.


1.) Withdrawal has to be done at 1 of the 7 Singapura Finance branches. There will be a fee of $3 per withdrawal or deposit at branch. They are currently waving off the 3 dollars fees till end of Dec 2021.



2.) Keep the amount below 19.9k or else all interest earned for full amount in account will be reduced to 0.25%. To keep it within limit, put in a lower amount if you don’t wish to spend using the vivid MasterCard.

3.) Saving account is sdic protected up to 75k but the e wallet is not.

4.) Interest rate are subjected to changes at the finance company discretion.

5.) There is an early closure fee of $55 if account is closed with 6 months

For more information on terms and conditions please visit https://vividcard.sg/

Summary 

I find the account suitable for different group of individuals. It can be suitable for someone looking for a saving account with high fixed deposit like interest. It can also be a starter account for individuals who are studying or young adults just started out working who can’t meet the minimum 30k p.a income requirement for a credit card application. A prepaid card can be a great way to track spending.

Singapura Finance is currently running a promotion till end June 2021. A bonus of $10 will be credited for new account opened and $5 bucks for every successful referral. This account is not for everyone but it does give a decent interest for interest starve savers.

Wolf Money(Portfolio update for end April 2024)part 1

  (Image credit The Star Media) (Swamp of people going into Shenzhen) Bye Singapore! Hi Malaysia, 2026 This write-up was inspired by a video posted on YouTube. The video talks about Hong Kong hollowing out by Shenzhen. The recent phenomenon of Hong Kongers going to Shenzhen to play, eat and stay is gathering pace with close to 2 millions making the crossing to Shenzhen during the recent Easter Holiday. That is close to 30% of the current HK population leaving for Shenzhen. With deflation taking root in China, things are much cheaper in Shenzhen. The poor economy in HK is another push factor with Hong Kongers trading down their consumption. One traveller from HK mentions his spending in the mainland only cost him 1/3 of the usual price he paid in Hong Kong. Hong Kongers are shopping at Sam’s Club in Shenzhen buying everything from groceries to electronics. The commentator interviewed restaurants and shop owners in HK, most experienced a 30% drop in sales during the holiday.  *T...

(The Death of the Singapore Stock Market) Great Eastern Holdings(extract from end of month portfolio update) Today we are here to attend the funeral of the Singapore stock market. Besides the low valuation suffered by our market participants, investors of our market have to navigate the complexity of low ball offers from majority shareholders. One would expect a local banking giant to lead as a beacon for good corporate governance. Unfortunately, they have decided to turn a blind eye and join the dark side of the forces, blatantly ignoring the IFA report to pay a fair price for GEH. I could have walked away quietly by accepting the offer for a gain in excess of 40% in 3 months, but I can’t walk away without my conscience pushing me to express my thoughts on this whole takeover saga. I started the journey by supporting Chin Woo. His leadership is top-notch. I think most minority shareholders will agreed, without Chin Woo’s effort, the minority would have been in a much inferior position...

   (Image credit: NLB archive: Singapore Press Holdings; An old article on OCBC previous takeover of GEH in 2006. Is the end game near for the longest takeover exercise in Singapore corporate history that stretches across two decades?) Great Eastern Holdings(extract from end May portfolio update) First of all before I go further, the views shared are mine, alone. It doesn’t reflect anybody views and it is also not to undermine the good work of the independent financial advisors which are been tasked to assess the fairness of this voluntary unconditional general offer by OCBC. Kindly do take my commentary with a pinch of salt given my vested interest in GEH. My view shouldn’t be taken as cardinal truth on what you should do with your GEH shares. Kindly do your own due diligence and seek professional advice. I praise and thank OCBC for starting the ball rolling with this privatisation offer. I believe the bank is capable of doing more for Great Eastern’s minorities. The offer of...
