Not worried at all. If u actually look into their company or use their product u will realise it is just pieces of crap shlt pulled togeter to form a shlt product/project. Wont go far. another grab company just burn money and suck losses down the hill and use stupid stats to misinform investors that they are getting users or and revenues... Grab going to 1dollar XD Trust bank? What joke is that? Most people only sign up for the 10dollar shlt which i dont even give a fk, and probably wont ever touch it again after... 3k limit... only one atm at vivo city or use standard charted atms... even the perks they give u are so damn kiamsiap, only 1.2 % or 1.6%And still have to be ntuc member shlt for toget most perks... unless u are the aunti type, dont evenappeal

I don't think DBS, UOB and OCBC should worry as they have their own strong base of loyal customers. I am one of them. 😇. Indirectly, these 3 major banks have been improving their services way before TrustBank came in the play. No doubt, Trust is trying to attract customers with their annual fees waiver credit card and their co-operation with NTUC, I doubt consumers will be attracted to it. I am one of them 🤣🤣. I have NTUC plus card and annual fees waiver credit cards too. I am trying to hold fewer credit cards - currently 3; next year planning to have 2 only. Trust is having free foreign transactions fee. That's the only plus point to me. But how frequent will I use this facility? 😏🤔 unless Tiger is able to accept their credit card for US stocks purchase then I wil

  they may loose some customers in the beginning. after the new banks start moving their interest back to normal rate, customers may go back to the 3 big banks.

Thus far, Sea Limited’s digital bank, Maribank, has yet to showcase its products.GXS’ savings account offers an interest rate of 0.08% accrued daily.However, customers can create up to eight “pockets” designed for specific saving goals, each of which earns 1.58% interest per annum, also accrued daily.These pockets are akin to a fixed deposit that offer more attractive interest rates to lock up funds for a specific period.However, the total deposit cap for both the savings account and pockets is just S$5,000.For Trust Bank, customers will enjoy an interest rate of 1% per annum on the first S$50,000 with NTUC Union members receiving an additional 0.4% interest on the same threshold of savings for making five eligibleVisa(NYSE: V) purchases using their Trust card.There is no minimum balance for the savings account and the credit card comes without annual fees, foreign transaction charges, cash advance fees or card replacement fees.Both digital banks are launching with a slew of benefits to attract customers to sign up and open accounts with them, hoping to gradually build up the scale needed to achieve profitability.The unbanked and under-bankedThe original intention for MAS to launch the digital bank licences was for the new players to target both the unbanked and under-banked.On this note, GXS Bank believes that it has a market potential of around three million customers in Singapore, implying that around half the population can be targeted as customers.As a start, GXS is targeting the underserved segments of the population such as gig workers, entrepreneurs, and fresh workers.Trust Bank, on the other hand, is focusing on a wider demographic that includes working adults who are Union members and shop for groceries regularly.More importantly, the winners of the bid have had to demonstrate a path to profitability in their proposals to the central bank.However, history has shown that digital banks have not fared well in developed markets such as Singapore.As an example, digital banks had launched in Hong Kong with 6% interest rates on their deposit accounts to entice customers, but these rates have since fallen as the banks are unable to sustain them.It’s questionable whether Singapore has sufficient numbers of under-served customers to enable each of these banks to achieve profitability.Commercial strategy consultancy Simon-Kucher also released sobering statistics on digital banks, also known as Neobanks.An analysis of 25 of the largest Neobanks in the world found that only two of them, or 4% of the cohort, had achieved profitability.The incumbents are no pushoversTo make it even tougher for the newcomers, the incumbent banks are no slouches when it comes to digital offerings.DBS Group was named the world’s best digital bank and was also named the global winner in The Banker’s Innovation in Digital Banking Awards.Singapore’s largest lender has tapped on its technology infrastructure to facilitate digital payouts from the Singapore government during the pandemic, launched adigital exchangein late 2020, started a new blockchain payments joint venture, and has an artificial intelligence digital adviser NAV Planner.Last month, UOB launched a new digital banking app for SMEs (small and medium enterprises) to allow them to access a full suite of digital solutions.The local bank’s TMRW app is expected to acquire around 500,000 customers digitally by the end of this year.OCBC is the first bank to allow CPF account top-ups from outside the CPF website, and customers can make these contributions through its banking app or internet banking platform.All three banks have also recentlyupped their savings account ratesby raising the maximum interest rate tiers.Get Smart: No easy task for the digital banksThe digital banks are launching with a bang by drumming up interest for their new deposit accounts and dangling attractive offers for customers.However, it remains to be seen if they can gain the traction that they hope for.It will be an uphill task to snare customers from the incumbents as they are no pushovers and will put up a strong fight.","kind":null,"is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":9936918401,"gmtCreate":1662690834803,"gmtModify":1676537119812,"author":{"id":"3586459019020703","authorId":"3586459019020703","name":"Twhyger","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/924944c1d1cd489c6dea99de491ff2b1","vip":1,"crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3586459019020703","authorIdStr":"3586459019020703"},"htmlText":"Think

Thus far, Sea Limited’s digital bank, Maribank, has yet to showcase its products.GXS’ savings account offers an interest rate of 0.08% accrued daily.However, customers can create up to eight “pockets” designed for specific saving goals, each of which earns 1.58% interest per annum, also accrued daily.These pockets are akin to a fixed deposit that offer more attractive interest rates to lock up funds for a specific period.However, the total deposit cap for both the savings account and pockets is just S$5,000.For Trust Bank, customers will enjoy an interest rate of 1% per annum on the first S$50,000 with NTUC Union members receiving an additional 0.4% interest on the same threshold of savings for making five eligibleVisa(NYSE: V) purchases using their Trust card.There is no minimum balance for the savings account and the credit card comes without annual fees, foreign transaction charges, cash advance fees or card replacement fees.Both digital banks are launching with a slew of benefits to attract customers to sign up and open accounts with them, hoping to gradually build up the scale needed to achieve profitability.The unbanked and under-bankedThe original intention for MAS to launch the digital bank licences was for the new players to target both the unbanked and under-banked.On this note, GXS Bank believes that it has a market potential of around three million customers in Singapore, implying that around half the population can be targeted as customers.As a start, GXS is targeting the underserved segments of the population such as gig workers, entrepreneurs, and fresh workers.Trust Bank, on the other hand, is focusing on a wider demographic that includes working adults who are Union members and shop for groceries regularly.More importantly, the winners of the bid have had to demonstrate a path to profitability in their proposals to the central bank.However, history has shown that digital banks have not fared well in developed markets such as Singapore.As an example, digital banks had launched in Hong Kong with 6% interest rates on their deposit accounts to entice customers, but these rates have since fallen as the banks are unable to sustain them.It’s questionable whether Singapore has sufficient numbers of under-served customers to enable each of these banks to achieve profitability.Commercial strategy consultancy Simon-Kucher also released sobering statistics on digital banks, also known as Neobanks.An analysis of 25 of the largest Neobanks in the world found that only two of them, or 4% of the cohort, had achieved profitability.The incumbents are no pushoversTo make it even tougher for the newcomers, the incumbent banks are no slouches when it comes to digital offerings.DBS Group was named the world’s best digital bank and was also named the global winner in The Banker’s Innovation in Digital Banking Awards.Singapore’s largest lender has tapped on its technology infrastructure to facilitate digital payouts from the Singapore government during the pandemic, launched adigital exchangein late 2020, started a new blockchain payments joint venture, and has an artificial intelligence digital adviser NAV Planner.Last month, UOB launched a new digital banking app for SMEs (small and medium enterprises) to allow them to access a full suite of digital solutions.The local bank’s TMRW app is expected to acquire around 500,000 customers digitally by the end of this year.OCBC is the first bank to allow CPF account top-ups from outside the CPF website, and customers can make these contributions through its banking app or internet banking platform.All three banks have also recentlyupped their savings account ratesby raising the maximum interest rate tiers.Get Smart: No easy task for the digital banksThe digital banks are launching with a bang by drumming up interest for their new deposit accounts and dangling attractive offers for customers.However, it remains to be seen if they can gain the traction that they hope for.It will be an uphill task to snare customers from the incumbents as they are no pushovers and will put up a strong fight.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":9938222330,"gmtCreate":1662616845320,"gmtModify":1676537102260,"author":{"id":"4089461104605170","authorId":"4089461104605170","name":"MSTAN","avatar":"https://static.itradeup.com/news/1d0ff53a35c30afecbd1fa0c5ed59f07","vip":1,"crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"4089461104605170","authorIdStr":"4089461104605170"},"htmlText":"👌👌","listText":"👌👌","text":"👌👌","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9938222330","repostId":1196956145,"repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1196956145","pubTimestamp":1662608329,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1196956145?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-09-08

Thus far, Sea Limited’s digital bank, Maribank, has yet to showcase its products.GXS’ savings account offers an interest rate of 0.08% accrued daily.However, customers can create up to eight “pockets” designed for specific saving goals, each of which earns 1.58% interest per annum, also accrued daily.These pockets are akin to a fixed deposit that offer more attractive interest rates to lock up funds for a specific period.However, the total deposit cap for both the savings account and pockets is just S$5,000.For Trust Bank, customers will enjoy an interest rate of 1% per annum on the first S$50,000 with NTUC Union members receiving an additional 0.4% interest on the same threshold of savings for making five eligibleVisa(NYSE: V) purchases using their Trust card.There is no minimum balance for the savings account and the credit card comes without annual fees, foreign transaction charges, cash advance fees or card replacement fees.Both digital banks are launching with a slew of benefits to attract customers to sign up and open accounts with them, hoping to gradually build up the scale needed to achieve profitability.The unbanked and under-bankedThe original intention for MAS to launch the digital bank licences was for the new players to target both the unbanked and under-banked.On this note, GXS Bank believes that it has a market potential of around three million customers in Singapore, implying that around half the population can be targeted as customers.As a start, GXS is targeting the underserved segments of the population such as gig workers, entrepreneurs, and fresh workers.Trust Bank, on the other hand, is focusing on a wider demographic that includes working adults who are Union members and shop for groceries regularly.More importantly, the winners of the bid have had to demonstrate a path to profitability in their proposals to the central bank.However, history has shown that digital banks have not fared well in developed markets such as Singapore.As an example, digital banks had launched in Hong Kong with 6% interest rates on their deposit accounts to entice customers, but these rates have since fallen as the banks are unable to sustain them.It’s questionable whether Singapore has sufficient numbers of under-served customers to enable each of these banks to achieve profitability.Commercial strategy consultancy Simon-Kucher also released sobering statistics on digital banks, also known as Neobanks.An analysis of 25 of the largest Neobanks in the world found that only two of them, or 4% of the cohort, had achieved profitability.The incumbents are no pushoversTo make it even tougher for the newcomers, the incumbent banks are no slouches when it comes to digital offerings.DBS Group was named the world’s best digital bank and was also named the global winner in The Banker’s Innovation in Digital Banking Awards.Singapore’s largest lender has tapped on its technology infrastructure to facilitate digital payouts from the Singapore government during the pandemic, launched adigital exchangein late 2020, started a new blockchain payments joint venture, and has an artificial intelligence digital adviser NAV Planner.Last month, UOB launched a new digital banking app for SMEs (small and medium enterprises) to allow them to access a full suite of digital solutions.The local bank’s TMRW app is expected to acquire around 500,000 customers digitally by the end of this year.OCBC is the first bank to allow CPF account top-ups from outside the CPF website, and customers can make these contributions through its banking app or internet banking platform.All three banks have also recentlyupped their savings account ratesby raising the maximum interest rate tiers.Get Smart: No easy task for the digital banksThe digital banks are launching with a bang by drumming up interest for their new deposit accounts and dangling attractive offers for customers.However, it remains to be seen if they can gain the traction that they hope for.It will be an uphill task to snare customers from the incumbents as they are no pushovers and will put up a strong fight.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"comments":[{"id":103890445,"gmtCreate":1662995222987,"gmtModify":1663258737452,"authorId":4109941540501062,"author":{"id":4109941540501062,"idStr":"4109941540501062","authorId":4109941540501062,"name":"买香蕉也用券","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/bd3a71caa40eb6e0d2468ff0ffa1a967","vip":1,"currentWearingBadge":{"badgeId":"44212b71d0be4ec88898348dbe882e03-2","templateUuid":"44212b71d0be4ec88898348dbe882e03","name":"Executive

Thus far, Sea Limited’s digital bank, Maribank, has yet to showcase its products.GXS’ savings account offers an interest rate of 0.08% accrued daily.However, customers can create up to eight “pockets” designed for specific saving goals, each of which earns 1.58% interest per annum, also accrued daily.These pockets are akin to a fixed deposit that offer more attractive interest rates to lock up

S$50,000 with NTUC Union members receiving an additional 0.4% interest on the same threshold of savings for making five eligibleVisa(NYSE: V) purchases using their Trust card.There is no minimum balance for the savings account and the credit card comes without annual fees, foreign transaction charges, cash advance fees or card replacement fees.Both digital banks are launching with a slew of benefits to attract customers to sign up and open accounts with them, hoping to gradually build up the scale needed to achieve profitability.The unbanked and under-bankedThe original intention for MAS to launch the digital bank licences was for the new players to target both the unbanked and under-banked.On this note, GXS Bank believes that it has a market potential of around three million customers in Singapore, implying that around half the population can be targeted as customers.As a start, GXS is targeting the underserved segments of the population such as gig workers, entrepreneurs, and fresh workers.Trust Bank, on the other hand, is focusing on a wider demographic that includes working adults who are Union members and shop for groceries regularly.More importantly, the winners of the bid have had to demonstrate a path to profitability in their proposals to the central bank.However, history has shown that digital banks have not fared well in developed markets such as Singapore.As an example, digital banks had launched in Hong Kong with 6% interest rates on their deposit accounts to entice customers, but these rates have since fallen as the banks are unable to sustain them.It’s questionable whether Singapore has sufficient numbers of under-served customers to enable each of these banks to achieve profitability.Commercial strategy consultancy Simon-Kucher also released sobering statistics on digital banks, also known as Neobanks.An analysis of 25 of the largest Neobanks in the world found that only two of them, or 4% of the cohort, had achieved profitability.The incumbents are no pushoversTo make it even tougher for the newcomers, the incumbent banks are no slouches when it comes to digital offerings.DBS Group was named the world’s best digital bank and was also named the global winner in The Banker’s Innovation in Digital Banking Awards.Singapore’s largest lender has tapped on its technology infrastructure to facilitate digital payouts from the Singapore government during the pandemic, launched adigital exchangein late 2020, started a new blockchain payments joint venture, and has an artificial intelligence digital adviser NAV Planner.Last month, UOB launched a new digital banking app for SMEs (small and medium enterprises) to allow them to access a full suite of digital solutions.The local bank’s TMRW app is expected to acquire around 500,000 customers digitally by the end of this year.OCBC is the first bank to allow CPF account top-ups from outside the CPF website, and customers can make these contributions through its banking app or internet banking platform.All three banks have also recentlyupped their savings account ratesby raising the maximum interest rate tiers.Get Smart: No easy task for the digital banksThe digital banks are launching with a bang by drumming up interest for their new deposit accounts and dangling attractive offers for customers.However, it remains to be seen if they can gain the traction that they hope for.It will be an uphill task to snare customers from the incumbents as they are no pushovers and will put up a strong fight.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":9938210885,"gmtCreate":1662611094947,"gmtModify":1676537100866,"author":{"id":"3581940910228076","authorId":"3581940910228076","name":"dIwIrma","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0fea8dc7dfbd0c3bce24d877b9ae3b53","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3581940910228076","authorIdStr":"3581940910228076"},"htmlText":"👍","listText":"👍","text":"👍","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9938210885","repostId":1196956145,"repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1196956145","pubTimestamp":1662608329,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1196956145?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-09-08

Thus far, Sea Limited’s digital bank, Maribank, has yet to showcase its products.GXS’ savings account offers an interest rate of 0.08% accrued daily.However, customers can create up to eight “pockets” designed for specific saving goals, each of which earns 1.58% interest per annum, also accrued daily.These pockets are akin to a fixed deposit that offer more attractive interest rates to lock up funds for a specific period.However, the total deposit cap for both the savings account and pockets is just S$5,000.For Trust Bank, customers will enjoy an interest rate of 1% per annum on the first S$50,000 with NTUC Union members receiving an additional 0.4% interest on the same threshold of savings for making five eligibleVisa(NYSE: V) purchases using their Trust card.There is no minimum balance for the savings account and the credit card comes without annual fees, foreign transaction charges, cash advance fees or card replacement fees.Both digital banks are launching with a slew of benefits to attract customers to sign up and open accounts with them, hoping to gradually build up the scale needed to achieve profitability.The unbanked and under-bankedThe original intention for MAS to launch the digital bank licences was for the new players to target both the unbanked and under-banked.On this note, GXS Bank believes that it has a market potential of around three million customers in Singapore, implying that around half the population can be targeted as customers.As a start, GXS is targeting the underserved segments of the population such as gig workers, entrepreneurs, and fresh workers.Trust Bank, on the other hand, is focusing on a wider demographic that includes working adults who are Union members and shop for groceries regularly.More importantly, the winners of the bid have had to demonstrate a path to profitability in their proposals to the central bank.However, history has shown that digital banks have not fared well in developed markets such as Singapore.As an example, digital banks had launched in Hong Kong with 6% interest rates on their deposit accounts to entice customers, but these rates have since fallen as the banks are unable to sustain them.It’s questionable whether Singapore has sufficient numbers of under-served customers to enable each of these banks to achieve profitability.Commercial strategy consultancy Simon-Kucher also released sobering statistics on digital banks, also known as Neobanks.An analysis of 25 of the largest Neobanks in the world found that only two of them, or 4% of the cohort, had achieved profitability.The incumbents are no pushoversTo make it even tougher for the newcomers, the incumbent banks are no slouches when it comes to digital offerings.DBS Group was named the world’s best digital bank and was also named the global winner in The Banker’s Innovation in Digital Banking Awards.Singapore’s largest lender has tapped on its technology infrastructure to facilitate digital payouts from the Singapore government during the pandemic, launched adigital exchangein late 2020, started a new blockchain payments joint venture, and has an artificial intelligence digital adviser NAV Planner.Last month, UOB launched a new digital banking app for SMEs (small and medium enterprises) to allow them to access a full suite of digital solutions.The local bank’s TMRW app is expected to acquire around 500,000 customers digitally by the end of this year.OCBC is the first bank to allow CPF account top-ups from outside the CPF website, and customers can make these contributions through its banking app or internet banking platform.All three banks have also recentlyupped their savings account ratesby raising the maximum interest rate tiers.Get Smart: No easy task for the digital banksThe digital banks are launching with a bang by drumming up interest for their new deposit accounts and dangling attractive offers for customers.However, it remains to be seen if they can gain the traction that they hope for.It will be an uphill task to snare customers from the incumbents as they are no pushovers and will put up a strong fight.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":9938231549,"gmtCreate":1662610255981,"gmtModify":1676537100684,"author":{"id":"4123305251180352","authorId":"4123305251180352","name":"Trying hard","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"4123305251180352","authorIdStr":"4123305251180352"},"htmlText":"Banks with decades of experiences.

Thus far, Sea Limited’s digital bank, Maribank, has yet to showcase its products.GXS’ savings account offers an interest rate of 0.08% accrued daily.However, customers can create up to eight “pockets” designed for specific saving goals, each of which earns 1.58% interest per annum, also accrued daily.These pockets are akin to a fixed deposit that offer more attractive interest rates to lock up funds for a specific period.However, the total deposit cap for both the savings account and pockets is just S$5,000.For Trust Bank, customers will enjoy an interest rate of 1% per annum on the first S$50,000 with NTUC Union members receiving an additional 0.4% interest on the same threshold of savings for making five eligibleVisa(NYSE: V) purchases using their Trust card.There is no minimum balance for the savings account and the credit card comes without annual fees, foreign transaction charges, cash advance fees or card replacement fees.Both digital banks are launching with a slew of benefits to attract customers to sign up and open accounts with them, hoping to gradually build up the scale needed to achieve profitability.The unbanked and under-bankedThe original intention for MAS to launch the digital bank licences was for the new players to target both the unbanked and under-banked.On this note, GXS Bank believes that it has a market potential of around three million customers in Singapore, implying that around half the population can be targeted as customers.As a start, GXS is targeting the underserved segments of the population such as gig workers, entrepreneurs, and fresh workers.Trust Bank, on the other hand, is focusing on a wider demographic that includes working adults who are Union members and shop for groceries regularly.More importantly, the winners of the bid have had to demonstrate a path to profitability in their proposals to the central bank.However, history has shown that digital banks have not fared well in developed markets such as Singapore.As an example, digital banks had launched in Hong Kong with 6% interest rates on their deposit accounts to entice customers, but these rates have since fallen as the banks are unable to sustain them.It’s questionable whether Singapore has sufficient numbers of under-served customers to enable each of these banks to achieve profitability.Commercial strategy consultancy Simon-Kucher also released sobering statistics on digital banks, also known as Neobanks.An analysis of 25 of the largest Neobanks in the world found that only two of them, or 4% of the cohort, had achieved profitability.The incumbents are no pushoversTo make it even tougher for the newcomers, the incumbent banks are no slouches when it comes to digital offerings.DBS Group was named the world’s best digital bank and was also named the global winner in The Banker’s Innovation in Digital Banking Awards.Singapore’s largest lender has tapped on its technology infrastructure to facilitate digital payouts from the Singapore government during the pandemic, launched adigital exchangein late 2020, started a new blockchain payments joint venture, and has an artificial intelligence digital adviser NAV Planner.Last month, UOB launched a new digital banking app for SMEs (small and medium enterprises) to allow them to access a full suite of digital solutions.The local bank’s TMRW app is expected to acquire around 500,000 customers digitally by the end of this year.OCBC is the first bank to allow CPF account top-ups from outside the CPF website, and customers can make these contributions through its banking app or internet banking platform.All three banks have also recentlyupped their savings account ratesby raising the maximum interest rate tiers.Get Smart: No easy task for the digital banksThe digital banks are launching with a bang by drumming up interest for their new deposit accounts and dangling attractive offers for customers.However, it remains to be seen if they can gain the traction that they hope for.It will be an uphill task to snare customers from the incumbents as they are no pushovers and will put up a strong fight.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"comments":[{"id":103946930,"gmtCreate":1663287973726,"gmtModify":1663293418138,"authorId":4100833454173050,"author":{"id":4100833454173050,"idStr":"4100833454173050","authorId":4100833454173050,"name":"DiAngel","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/f7c2ee91188421bf874cdbc97fb77886","vip":1,"currentWearingBadge":{"badgeId":"9427a906234c4b18a82ec3d7730b7fa8-1","templateUuid":"9427a906234c4b18a82ec3d7730b7fa8","name":"Star

Thus far, Sea Limited’s digital bank, Maribank, has yet to showcase its products.GXS’ savings account offers an interest rate of 0.08% accrued daily.However, customers can create up to eight “pockets” designed for specific saving goals, each of which earns 1.58% interest per annum, also accrued daily.These pockets are akin to a fixed deposit that offer more attractive interest rates to lock up

balance for the savings account and the credit card comes without annual fees, foreign transaction charges, cash advance fees or card replacement fees.Both digital banks are launching with a slew of benefits to attract customers to sign up and open accounts with them, hoping to gradually build up the scale needed to achieve profitability.The unbanked and under-bankedThe original intention for MAS to launch the digital bank licences was for the new players to target both the unbanked and under-banked.On this note, GXS Bank believes that it has a market potential of around three million customers in Singapore, implying that around half the population can be targeted as customers.As a start, GXS is targeting the underserved segments of the population such as gig workers, entrepreneurs, and fresh workers.Trust Bank, on the other hand, is focusing on a wider demographic that includes working adults who are Union members and shop for groceries regularly.More importantly, the winners of the bid have had to demonstrate a path to profitability in their proposals to the central bank.However, history has shown that digital banks have not fared well in developed markets such as Singapore.As an example, digital banks had launched in Hong Kong with 6% interest rates on their deposit accounts to entice customers, but these rates have since fallen as the banks are unable to sustain them.It’s questionable whether Singapore has sufficient numbers of under-served customers to enable each of these banks to achieve profitability.Commercial strategy consultancy Simon-Kucher also released sobering statistics on digital banks, also known as Neobanks.An analysis of 25 of the largest Neobanks in the world found that only two of them, or 4% of the cohort, had achieved profitability.The incumbents are no pushoversTo make it even tougher for the newcomers, the incumbent banks are no slouches when it comes to digital offerings.DBS Group was named the world’s best digital bank and was also named the global winner in The Banker’s Innovation in Digital Banking Awards.Singapore’s largest lender has tapped on its technology infrastructure to facilitate digital payouts from the Singapore government during the pandemic, launched adigital exchangein late 2020, started a new blockchain payments joint venture, and has an artificial intelligence digital adviser NAV Planner.Last month, UOB launched a new digital banking app for SMEs (small and medium enterprises) to allow them to access a full suite of digital solutions.The local bank’s TMRW app is expected to acquire around 500,000 customers digitally by the end of this year.OCBC is the first bank to allow CPF account top-ups from outside the CPF website, and customers can make these contributions through its banking app or internet banking platform.All three banks have also recentlyupped their savings account ratesby raising the maximum interest rate tiers.Get Smart: No easy task for the digital banksThe digital banks are launching with a bang by drumming up interest for their new deposit accounts and dangling attractive offers for customers.However, it remains to be seen if they can gain the traction that they hope for.It will be an uphill task to snare customers from the incumbents as they are no pushovers and will put up a strong fight.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":9938295012,"gmtCreate":1662609125936,"gmtModify":1676537100474,"author":{"id":"4095681829599530","authorId":"4095681829599530","name":"chinks29","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","vip":1,"crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"4095681829599530","authorIdStr":"4095681829599530"},"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9938295012","repostId":1196956145,"repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1196956145","pubTimestamp":1662608329,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1196956145?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-09-08

Thus far, Sea Limited’s digital bank, Maribank, has yet to showcase its products.GXS’ savings account offers an interest rate of 0.08% accrued daily.However, customers can create up to eight “pockets” designed for specific saving goals, each of which earns 1.58% interest per annum, also accrued daily.These pockets are akin to a fixed deposit that offer more attractive interest rates to lock up funds for a specific period.However, the total deposit cap for both the savings account and pockets is just S$5,000.For Trust Bank, customers will enjoy an interest rate of 1% per annum on the first S$50,000 with NTUC Union members receiving an additional 0.4% interest on the same threshold of savings for making five eligibleVisa(NYSE: V) purchases using their Trust card.There is no minimum balance for the savings account and the credit card comes without annual fees, foreign transaction charges, cash advance fees or card replacement fees.Both digital banks are launching with a slew of benefits to attract customers to sign up and open accounts with them, hoping to gradually build up the scale needed to achieve profitability.The unbanked and under-bankedThe original intention for MAS to launch the digital bank licences was for the new players to target both the unbanked and under-banked.On this note, GXS Bank believes that it has a market potential of around three million customers in Singapore, implying that around half the population can be targeted as customers.As a start, GXS is targeting the underserved segments of the population such as gig workers, entrepreneurs, and fresh workers.Trust Bank, on the other hand, is focusing on a wider demographic that includes working adults who are Union members and shop for groceries regularly.More importantly, the winners of the bid have had to demonstrate a path to profitability in their proposals to the central bank.However, history has shown that digital banks have not fared well in developed markets such as Singapore.As an example, digital banks had launched in Hong Kong with 6% interest rates on their deposit accounts to entice customers, but these rates have since fallen as the banks are unable to sustain them.It’s questionable whether Singapore has sufficient numbers of under-served customers to enable each of these banks to achieve profitability.Commercial strategy consultancy Simon-Kucher also released sobering statistics on digital banks, also known as Neobanks.An analysis of 25 of the largest Neobanks in the world found that only two of them, or 4% of the cohort, had achieved profitability.The incumbents are no pushoversTo make it even tougher for the newcomers, the incumbent banks are no slouches when it comes to digital offerings.DBS Group was named the world’s best digital bank and was also named the global winner in The Banker’s Innovation in Digital Banking Awards.Singapore’s largest lender has tapped on its technology infrastructure to facilitate digital payouts from the Singapore government during the pandemic, launched adigital exchangein late 2020, started a new blockchain payments joint venture, and has an artificial intelligence digital adviser NAV Planner.Last month, UOB launched a new digital banking app for SMEs (small and medium enterprises) to allow them to access a full suite of digital solutions.The local bank’s TMRW app is expected to acquire around 500,000 customers digitally by the end of this year.OCBC is the first bank to allow CPF account top-ups from outside the CPF website, and customers can make these contributions through its banking app or internet banking platform.All three banks have also recentlyupped their savings account ratesby raising the maximum interest rate tiers.Get Smart: No easy task for the digital banksThe digital banks are launching with a bang by drumming up interest for their new deposit accounts and dangling attractive offers for customers.However, it remains to be seen if they can gain the traction that they hope for.It will be an uphill task to snare customers from the incumbents as they are no pushovers and will put up a strong fight.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":9938296708,"gmtCreate":1662608900904,"gmtModify":1676537100440,"author":{"id":"3582539378503098","authorId":"3582539378503098","name":"Goldenblue","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/503ccf93eafd90b34388f12ab65cb8af","vip":1,"crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3582539378503098","authorIdStr":"3582539378503098"},"htmlText":"Ok
