Maybank launches savings management tool

Maybank Singapore's new savings management tool will help depositors allocate funds towards their savings goals, all within the convenience of one main account.

 

Aptly termed "iSAVvy Sub-accounts", the feature can be found in Maybank's two online accounts, the iSAVvy Savings Account and the iSAVvy Savings Plus Account.

With this free tool, depositors no longer need to open multiple savings accounts when saving for different goals and occasions. All they need to do is to create sub-accounts that reside within their main savings account.

Up to 15 sub-accounts can be created, and the depositors will still enjoy the same interest rate in their sub-accounts.

"We wanted to enhance the proposition of our iSAVvy savings accounts to address this need. This is so that account holders, can more effectively manage their savings for the different goals they have in mind, said Lim Kuo Siong, Head of Information Technology and e-Business, Maybank Singapore.

"For each sub-account, they can input targets like savings amount and the timeline to achieve the goal, and name the sub-account according to that particular savings goal," he said, when launching the savings management tool here today . . . They will continue to enjoy the same interest rate for their sub-accounts. The interest will be paid on the total balance of the sub-accounts and main account. It will be credited into the main account," he added.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
