First Batch of Singapore Savings Bonds Available Today

The first batch of Singapore Savings Bonds will be available for purchase at 6pm today.

For more details of the yield, you can check the SSB website from 330pm onwards.

Roughly, it should be around:

1 year – 0.99% p.a.

2 years – 1.11% p.a.

5 years – 2.17% p.a.

10 years – 2.85% p.a.

The yield of 2.17% p.a. given to you for holding the Singapore Savings Bonds for 5 years also means that products such as this LIC 5-year endowment giving 1.92% p.a. are no longer attractive.
