DBS Bank Savings Interest Rates Calculation
At DBS Bank, we calculate the interest rates on Savings Accounts on a daily basis. Interest is calculated on the daily available closing balances in your account. Savings interest rates are computed at the rate specified by the regulator, the Reserve Bank of India or as a result of the bank’s own decision. DBS Bank calculates and rounds off the interest income to the nearest rupee. The bank credits the interest income directly into your DBS Bank Savings Account at quarterly rests or on any other rests on the last day of each quarter (March, June, September, and December) or at its discretion from time to time. The rate of interest on DBS Bank Savings Accounts is subject to change at the discretion of the bank and/or in accordance with directives from the RBI.
