Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation (OCBC) will lower its interest rates for its 360 Account in line with prevailing market conditions, the bank announced on March 21.
From May 1 onwards, account holders under the 360 Account will receive a maximum rate of 6.3% per annum (p.a.), down from its prevailing rate of 7.65% p.a.
No other conditions have changed as yet. The account will offer up to 6.3% a year on account holders’ first $100,000 if they credit their salary, as well as spend, save, insure and invest with the bank.
Account holders will also continue to earn a base interest rate of 0.05% a year on their balance whether they fulfil the respective categories or not, says the bank.
