FAQ & Eligible Transactions

Bonus Interest

When do I get my interest?

Your DBS Multiplier Account pays you interest in two parts:

  1. Base interest: This gets added to your account on the last day of each month.
  2. Bonus interest: If you've earned any bonus interest, this gets added to your account by the 7th working day of the next month.

How is interest calculated?

Here's how we work out your interest:

  • We add up all the eligible transactions for the full month. This total helps us figure out your bonus interest rate.
  • The bonus interest rate applies only to your end-of-day SGD balance. The balance cap is the maximum amount of money that can earn bonus interest.
  • We calculate the interest earned for each balance level. Then we round this off to the nearest four decimal places.
  • We add up each day's interest earned and round this off to the nearest two decimal places.
  • Finally, we add up the entire month's interest.
