Indian Overseas Bank FD Interest Calculator

Indian Overseas Bank FD Interest Calculator is an online financial tool that allows you to calculate the maturity value of your fixed deposit at the interest rate offered by bank. The amount of FD, interest rate, deposit tenure and compounding frequency of interest together determine the maturity amount of the FD at the end of the tenure.

Automatic Renewal of Bank FD

Bank FD matures on specific date. On maturity, if you have not given any specific instructions such as payout or renewal of FD, most of the banks automatically renew the FD for the same period for which it was initially made at the interest rate prevailing on the date of maturity of FD. This is called Automatic Renewal of Bank FD.

You should choose the option on the account opening form, if you do not want the bank to auto renew your FD. You have 2 options on the account opening form while depositing money in FD, first one is auto renew and second one is deposit of amount to your account after maturity. In case you have not mentioned any option on the account opening form then you will need to visit the bank branch on maturity day of your bank FD and opt for credit of the final proceeds of your bank FD into your savings account if you do not want an auto renewal of your FD.

© Provided by MoneySmart Fixed deposit (sometimes called time deposit) accounts are low-risk investments that earn you interest over a fixed commitment period. You don't need to do anything to earn this interest, just park your money with a bank. Think of it like mold on a piece of bread. Just leave it out in the open and mold will grow — FREE! — on your bread for you. Seriously, though, fixed deposits are great if you have a substantial amount of money lying around and you don’t want to risk investing it. Fixed deposits are an extremely low risk way to grow your money.

We've picked the highest fixed deposit rates for SGD in attainable deposit amounts (i.e. $50,000 and below). Note that these promotional rates change monthly and the bank can change the rates anytime.

Fixed deposit board rates are usually very low, but every month, many banks come up with fixed deposit promotions to offer good rates. In 'normal', non-Covid-19 times, promotional fixed deposit rates can go up to 1.8% to 2% p.a. However, with the current sluggish economy, fixed deposit interest rates remain low — although they might still be better than savings accounts.

DBS fixed deposit rates (Feb 2021)

DBS fixed deposit rate
Interest rate1.3% p.a.
Deposit amount$1,000 to $19,999
Tenure18 months
Ever since COVID-19 hit our economy, DBS has been one of the consistent winners when it comes to fixed deposit rates. This month is no exception. The current highest DBS fixed deposit rate of 1.3% p.a. is considered sky-high by today's standards. The minimum of $1,000 is is quite a manageable amount, although you have to commit to a tenure of 18 months. Otherwise, you can still get a slightly lower interest rate of 1.15% p.a. for 12 months. DBS is the best out there this month given the current economic climate and decreasing interest rates all around. It’s a good option if you want to save up and prefer local banks.

Maybank fixed deposit rates (Feb 2021)

Maybank fixed deposit rate
Interest rate1% p.a.
Deposit amountMin. $1,000
Tenure36 months
The next best alternative to DBS is usually a Maybank fixed deposit. In February, you can earn 1% p.a. with Maybank's Singapore Dollar Time Deposit. Unfortunately you have to leave it in for 36 months (3 whole years!) to earn that measly 1% p.a. [ms-inline-widget account_type='fixed-deposit' amount='10000' tenure='24' locale='en' country_code='sg' channel='fixed-deposit' product_slug='maybank-singapore-dollar-time-deposit' ]

Hong Leong Finance fixed deposit rates (Feb 2021)

Hong Leong Finance fixed deposit rate
Interest rate0.75% p.a.
Deposit amountMin. $20,000
Tenure24 months
Apart from the big banks like DBS, UOB and OCBC, the fixed deposit aficionado should also look at non-bank financial institutions like Hong Leong Finance as they also offer promotions. They may not be quite as risk-free as banks, though. This month, Hong Leong is offering 0.75% p.a. for 24 months, 0.68% for 18 months, or 0.6% for 12 months, but it also requires a significantly larger sum of $20,000. Before you lock up that much in a fixed deposit, make sure you have sufficient emergency funds first.

ICBC fixed deposit rates (Feb 2021)

ICBC fixed deposit rate
Interest rate0.6% p.a.
Deposit amountMin. $500
Tenure12 months
It used to be that you needed at least $20,000 lying around in order to benefit from the higher promotional interest rates. However, now that the general rates have gone down, suddenly the lower-commitment options are a lot more competitive. All the above fixed deposits have pretty low barriers to entry, but Chinese bank ICBC takes the cake by requiring just $500 minimum deposit. You get an okay-ish 0.6% p.a. (if you apply for this fixed deposit online) with a commitment period of 12 months.

UOB fixed deposit rates (Feb 2021)

UOB fixed deposit rate
Interest rate0.5% p.a.
Deposit amountMin. $20,000
Tenure10 months
Oh dear, local banks UOB and OCBC (see below) certainly fall short of DBS when it comes to fixed deposit rates of late. Right now, UOB is offering only 0.5% p.a. on their 10-month fixed deposits. The saving grace is that the lock-in period is relatively short. [ms-inline-widget account_type='fixed-deposit' amount='10000' tenure='11' locale='en' country_code='sg' channel='fixed-deposit' product_slug='uob-singapore-dollar-fixed-deposit' ] Note that if you have an UOB fixed deposit that's maturing this month, UOB will auto-renew your account at the current 'promotional' rate. You might want to check and update your standing instructions.

Standard Chartered fixed deposit rates (Feb 2021)

Standard Chartered fixed deposit rate
Interest rate0.45% p.a.
Deposit amountMin. $25,000
Tenure3 months
If you have $25,000 to spare, but don't want to lock it up the whole year, Standard Chartered has a 3-month fixed deposit promotion that lets you earn 0.45% p.a. [ms-inline-widget account_type='fixed-deposit' amount='10000' tenure='3' locale='en' country_code='sg' channel='fixed-deposit' product_slug='standard-chartered-singapore-dollar-time-deposit' ]

OCBC fixed deposit rate
Interest rate0.4% p.a.

Tenure12 months
OCBC fixed deposit interest rates are lower than UOB's, offering 0.4% p.a. for minimum $20,000 deposit for at least 12 months. [ms-inline-widget account_type='fixed-deposit' amount='10000' tenure='24' locale='en' country_code='sg' channel='fixed-deposit' product_slug='ocbc-time-deposit-account' ]

Tying with OCBC for 7th place is Malaysian bank RHB. Like OCBC, its 0.4% p.a. interest rate is really not spectacular, so think carefully before you commit for the full year.

What about HSBC and CIMB fixed deposits?

The rest of the banks — CIMB and HSBC — are offering 0.3% or less on their fixed deposits, which is hardly worth your time. In fact, you can get 0.3% p.a. on your savings with no lock-in just by opening a regular CIMB FastSaver account. Of course, banks are notoriously fickle about their interest rates, and all these could easily change next month. For the latest promotional rates, remember to bookmark this page and our MoneySmart fixed deposit comparison page before you commit. Plus, here’s a quick and dirty summary of what you need to know about fixed deposits.

Fixed deposit vs savings account — what's the difference?

https://youtu.be/Sq9hjlnEgY0 Once an attractive alternative to that pathetic 0.05% p.a. interest on savings accounts, fixed deposits — like so many ageing Channel 8 starlets — are fading from collective memory. Today, every bank in Singapore is competing for your dollar with high interest savings accounts, which may actually offer better returns. Here are the differences between fixed deposits and savings accounts at a glance: Uob Fixed Deposit Rate
Fixed deposit Savings account
TenureAs low as 3 months, but go for at least 12 months for better ratesNone
Interest rateThe longer the tenure, the better the interest rateUsually the same regardless of tenure
Amount to depositFixed amount, usually at least $10,000Smaller initial deposit and minimum monthly balance ($500 to $3,000)
CurrencySGD by default, but some banks offer higher interest rates for foreign currencySGD by default. There are a few multi-currency accounts, but no difference in interest rate
Can you withdraw?Contrary to popular belief, yes, but you lose the interestYes, no impact on interest, but don’t fall below the minimum balance
Interest paymentsQuarterly or annuallyMonthly
Risk levelVirtually risk-free, insured up to $75,000 by Singapore Deposit Insurance Corporation (SDIC)

Fixed deposit vs Singapore Savings Bonds (SSB) — which is better?

In an earlier article, we compared the Singapore Savings Bonds to fixed deposits. There are a few key distinctions between these virtually risk-free investment vehicles. First, interest rates. Believe it or not, fixed deposit interest rates are actually higher than SSBs. The November issue of SSBs offers a measly 0.23% p.a. interest average return after the first 2 years, which you can easily beat with a well-chosen fixed deposit promotion. Next, entry point. It takes just $500 to invest in Singapore Savings Bonds, which is lower than the $1,000 or more for most fixed deposits. That said, ICBC fixed deposits only require $500 to start. (On the flip side, there's a cap of $200,000 you can put into Singapore Savings Bonds. There's no cap for fixed deposits.) Finally, tenure. Fixed deposits are shorter term investments. After the lock-in period is over, you should shop around again for another place to park your money. With SSBs, however, the interest rate climbs every year, so the longer you keep the money in there (up to a maximum of 10 years) the more you get. At the same time, SSBs have higher liquidity than fixed deposits. You will not be penalised if you withdraw your money at any point. You do have to pay a $2 transaction fee each time you buy or redeem a bond, though. Know anyone who likes to park their cash in fixed deposits? Share this article with them.
