Everything You Need to Know About DBS Multiplier—New Rules & Free Perks
What’s the Buzz Around DBS Multiplier?
Even if you’re not a DBS Multiplier account holder, you’ve probably stumbled upon it while hunting for a high‑interest savings account. It’s one of those “offer the most bang for your buck” options out there.
First Step: The Must‑Have Requirement
The one rule that’s a no‑question for everyone is you gotta bulk up the account with a salary or dividends. Think of it as the “you can’t skip the entrance fee” rule. Once that’s in place, you can game‑plan to hit the bonus milestones.
Bonus Opportunities
Now that the base is covered, here’s what you can do to turn on those extra interest gears:
- Ramble through your DBS credit card purchases.
- Keep up with your home loan instalments.
- Snap up insurance that’s relevant to you.
- Kick it into gear with investments.
Who’s Got the Edge Now?
Before, folks aged 30+ without a steady salary or dividends were stuck on the sidelines. That meant freelancers, the gig‑hunters, and anyone on a career break couldn’t tap into that bonus interest. Not anymore!
Thanks to a fresh partnership, you can now satisfy the mandatory “salary or dividends” requirement by linking your DBS account with SGFindex. And guess what? It’s free to do so.
Getting It Up & Running in a Snap
All you need to do is pop onto SGFindex, connect your DBS account, and boom—you’re in the game. From there, hunt down those bonus triggers like a treasure hunt.

Pros & cons of using SGFindex
SGFindex: Your One‑Stop Financial Dashboard
Picture this: you’re a busy bee juggling multiple bank accounts, credit cards, and loans from different institutions. Every time you need a quick glance at your balances or transaction history, you log into the bank’s website, then the credit card portal, and maybe a third link for a loan provider. It’s like running a carnival of logins.
Enter SGFindex. It’s the modern Marty McFly of finance—a single portal that lets you hop across all your financial data without the tedious “password, password, password” routine.
Why SGFindex is a Game‑Changer
- All‑in‑One Visibility – Track every account from one dashboard.
- Instant Alerts – Get notified faster than a text from your ex.
- Time‑Saving Power – Spend less time logging in, more time doing “things” that matter.
But Wait… There’s a Catch
Like a double‑layered pancake, convenience can be a sweet treat or a sticky mess. Consolidating all your money in one place also means bad actors might get a golden ticket if they break in.
- Security Risks – One breach, and everything is on the table.
- Targeted Thrifts – Hackers see a whole bank’s worth of data in one glance.
- Potential Privacy Slip‑Ups – Small misconfigurations could expose personal info.
How to Play It Safe
Remember, great tools come with responsible usage. Keep your password tough, enable two‑factor authentication, and just really make sure all your supposedly “secured” details are locked tight. After all, a little caution keeps the villains at bay while you keep enjoying the boss‑level convenience.
Is SGFindex secure?
Who’s Really Watching Your Money?
SGFindex says it’s got a secure hitch-up for all that private cash chatter. “We don’t peek or save your financial data, and everything stays encrypted when you pull it,” they claim.
If that makes your hair stand on end, you can always bring in a cyber‑security pro for a second opinion.
Bank Secrets – Only When You Say ‘Ok’
- Information from your bank won’t even be chased down until you give the green light.
- Think of it like a lock‑and‑key: if you decide not to connect that bank to SGFindex, the bank’s treasures stay under wraps.
- Your “hidden riches” are essentially off the radar unless you choose to pop them into the platform.
No buzzers, no back‑door snoops – just trust me, you’re the master of what gets opened.
How to set up your SGFindex
How to Hook SGFindex Up to Your Bank
Step 1: Find the Secret Portal
First thing you gotta do is locate the portal that’s the gateway to SGFindex. Some banks hide it on their main page, while others have a whole separate page for it. If you’re a DBS devotee, head straight to the NAV Planner section.
Step 2: Log In and Give the Green Light
You’ll be prompted to sign in with your SingPass. Once you hit “yes”, your bank will pop up in SGFinDex, ready to roll.
- Repeat this for every bank you use.
- For DBS Multiplier Account holders, after authorising DBS, the bank should automatically know that you’re in. Just remember to pull the NAV Planner every month to keep the Multiplier account happy.
Step 3: Check It All Out
With all your banking connections hooked, you can view your SGFindex scores in a few neat ways:
- On your bank’s app or website.
- Through the government’s MyMoneySense portal.
- Even if you’re not a DBS customer, you can still use the DBS Nav Planner app to fetch the info.
So grab a coffee, pop on your phone, and let SGFindex do the heavy lifting for your finances.
