Earn high returns on your savings, safely

Offering high returns of 1.5% p.a.*^ on your savings, Dash PET is the digital piggy bank that helps you save more. Besides providing the best returns** compared to other similar insurance saving plans in the market (as of 9 September 2021), it comes with some nifty features too.

This includes:

• Highest interest rate** of 1.5%*^ p.a.: Enjoy the base rate of 1.3%* p.a. and an extra 0.2%^ p.a. when you opt in for free insurance protection, on the first S$10,000 of your savings.
• Free insurance coverage: Get more value with free coverage that includes life protection of 105% of your account value, coverage for COVID-19, including vaccine side effects, and Death & Total and Permanent Disability^ coverage of up to S$50,000.
• Capital-guaranteed savings: Your savings are safe against market changes and macroeconomic factors, and you’ll never lose the amount that you put in.
• No lock-in period: Keep your funds liquid and enjoy the flexibility of topping up or withdrawing your savings anytime. Like real piggy banks, breaking out your savings for emergencies is easy with Dash PET.

To enjoy these features, you only have to do one thing – save. Staying true to the nature of piggy banks, there are no hoops to jump or minimum spend to hit, and you’ll unlock these benefits when you save as little as S$50 (and up to S$30,000)!

The only difference with this digital piggy bank is that you don’t have to deal with the hassle of counting coins. All your Dash transactions are digital and can be tracked transparently, anytime and wherever you are.

Whether you’re a student, stay-home parent or freelancer, Dash PET helps you save more on your own terms.

Get extra interest when you protect yourself

Did you know that Dash PET rewards you with more interest on your savings when you opt for FREE protection?

You read that right. Enjoy an additional 0.2%^ p.a. interest on the first S$10,000 of your savings when you opt in for the free Death & Total and Permanent Disability^ add-on protection, which gives you complimentary coverage of up to five times your account value (capped up S$50,000 coverage) in the first year of your policy.

And if you prefer more coverage, you can activate any of the three add-on protection plans that Dash PET provides, with premiums starting from as low as S$0.02 a day (based on S$10,000 sum assured for a 17 year-old female non-smoker).

• Major Cancer: Covers critical stage cancers, including leukemia, lymphoma and sarcoma
• Accidental Death: Lump sum payment in the event of accidental death
• Death & Total and Permanent Disability: Provides lump sum payment in the event of death or inability to perform three out of six Activities of Daily Living (ADL).

As an added bonus, you’ll enjoy up to 0.25% p.a.^# in additional interest for each add-on protection plan that you activate, which bumps your potential earnings up to 2.25% p.a.*^^#!

Here’s how it’s calculated.

Base interest rate:	1.3%*
Free coverage for Death & Total and Permanent Disability^:	0.2%^
Major Cancer add-on protection:	Up to 0.25%#
Death & Total and Permanent Disability add-on protection:	Up to 0.25%#
Accidental Death add-on protection:	Up to 0.25%#
Total earnings (p.a.) Applicable to the first S$10,000 of savings	Up to 2.25%*^#

 

Imagine if you’ve saved S$10,000 with Dash PET without any withdrawals and opted in for all the add-on protection plans, you’ll earn S$225 in a year just by saving and protecting yourself. That’s equivalent to a luxe staycation or even the cost of your next VTL flight to Berlin on Scoot! Now that’s an upgrade that traditional piggy banks can’t give you.
