There are many ways the Singapore Savings Bonds can be useful. As it yields higher interest rates than most traditional savings account ( Singapore Savings Bond versus Savings Account versus Fixed Deposits ), it can be the best place to park your spare cash or serve as a temporary war chest for your stock investments.

I personally like to allocate a portion of my annual wage bonus and park them in Singapore Savings Bonds. This is in the event I get retrench by my current employer, the Singapore Savings Bonds can act as a lifesaver while I take time to look for a new job.

In the meantime, I am also applying the DBS Multiplier Account hack ( Earn More Interest With DBS Multiplier Account + Singapore Savings Bonds ) in order to earn a higher interest rate every month for my DBS Multiplier Account. I only need to do this back two more times in July and August and I will be enjoying a higher interest rate up to 1.8% for my DBS Multiplier Account throughout the year.
