Amendments to Bonus$aver Product Terms Effective 1 July 16

 

With effect from 1 July 2016, we are revising our Bonus$aver Product Terms to introduce:

  1. a two-tiered card spend to replace the existing single-tier card spend;
  2. different bonus interest rates for eligible card spend;
  3. a higher cap on the Average Daily Balance (ADB) in your Bonus$aver Account for which bonus interest may be earned; and
  4. additional transactions that will be excluded from qualifying retail transactions, and will not be taken into consideration in determining whether you have fulfilled the requirement of minimum card spend.

Revisions to the existing Bonus$aver Product Terms

  1. Two-tiered card spend (i) different bonus interest rates (for card spend) and (ii) higher ADBThe current Bonus$aver offers you up to 1.88% p.a. interest on the first S$25,000 of Average Daily Balance (ADB)1 in your Bonus$aver Account when you charge a minimum eligible card spend of S$500 per month to your linked Bonus$aver Card.


    From 1 July 2016, you can earn up to 1.88% p.a. interest on the first S$100,000 of ADB in your Bonus$aver Account when you charge at least S$2,000 per month on eligible retail transactions to your linked Bonus$aver Card.

     

    Alternatively, you can still earn up to 0.88% p.a. interest on your ADB capped at S$100,000 (up from S$25,000) if you maintain a minimum eligible card spend of at least S$500 per month.

  • transactions arising from the use of your linked Bonus$aver cards as an ATM card at an ATM or at an EFTPOS or NETS terminal;
  • balance transfers to your Bonus$aver card;
  • EasyPay monthly instalments;
  • online bill payments;
  • income tax payments;

  • EZ-link card transactions and other transit link transactions;
  • top-ups of any stored value facility;
  • AXS payments;
  • any fees and charges (including annual fees, interest charges, cheque processing fees, administrative fees, cash advance fees, finance charges and/or late payment charges and other miscellaneous fees and charges) charged to your linked Bonus$aver card;
  • any amount charged to your linked Bonus$aver card in that calendar month that is subsequently cancelled, voided or reversed;
  • balance owing on your linked Bonus$aver card from previous or other months; and
  • any other amount charged to your linked Bonus$aver card as we may determine from time to time

Unless otherwise specified, all other terms and conditions relating to your Bonus$aver Account remain unchanged and continue to be binding on you.
