Basically, the Singapore Dollar Fixed Deposit (also known as Time Deposit) holds your money for a fixed amount of time and in return, you are promised a FIXED deposit interest rate. Upon maturity, you will receive your initial deposit plus interest earned.
As there is a myriad of fixed deposit interest rates available for various tenor/period as well as deposit amount, we shall concentrate on the most common combination:
Tenor/Period: 12mths
Deposit Amount: less than S$10k to S$50k
Based on the above tenor and deposit amounts, the following is a comparison of the Fixed Deposit Interest Rate (% p.a.) offered by the local banks and full banks in Singapore.
