Common questions

Quick answers on the October 2026 Savings Bond — tap a question.

+What is the Singapore Savings Bond interest rate for October 2026?
The October 2026 issue (GX26100Z, issued 01 Oct 2026) pays 1.65% in the first year and a 2.32% average return per year if held for the full 10 years.
+What is the SSB interest rate right now?
Right now the latest Singapore Savings Bond (GX26100Z, for October 2026) pays 1.65% if you hold for one year, stepping up to a 2.32% average return per year if you hold the full 10 years. This page updates automatically with every new MAS issue, so it always shows the current rate.
+Is there a cap on how much SSB I can hold?
Yes. Each individual can hold up to S$200,000 of Singapore Savings Bonds in total across all issues. You apply in multiples of S$500 (minimum S$500), and since you can redeem any amount early with no penalty, the S$200,000 limit is the only real cap.
+How does the SSB step-up interest work?
SSB interest "steps up" the longer you hold. This issue starts at 1.65% in year 1 and rises to 3.01% in year 10, so your average return grows from 1.65% to 2.32% per year over the 10 years.
+How do I buy Singapore Savings Bonds?
Apply through DBS/POSB, OCBC or UOB internet banking or ATM, or with your SRS funds. Minimum S$500, in multiples of S$500, up to the individual holding cap of S$200,000 in total. Applications usually close on the 4th-last business day of the month.
+Is SSB better than a T-bill or fixed deposit?
It depends on your timeframe. SSBs are the most flexible — redeem in any month with no penalty and the rate steps up the longer you hold — which suits money you may need back. A Singapore T-bill or a bank fixed deposit usually locks a higher rate for a fixed 6–12 months, but your money is tied up. If you want the highest guaranteed short-term rate and can commit, compare T-bills and fixed deposits; if you want flexibility, SSB wins.
+Can I withdraw my Savings Bond early?
Yes. You can redeem in any month with no penalty and get your full principal back plus any accrued interest — one reason SSBs are considered very low risk. They are fully backed by the Singapore Government.
+How is SSB interest paid?
Interest is paid every 6 months into your bank account, starting six months from the issue date.
