Banks earn bumper profits

The local banks report bumper profits this year. Two banks earns more than $1 billion each, and much higher than in previous years. Even a foreign bank report that they earn more than $500 million in Singapore.

They make higher profits from the following sources:

- fees from sale of insurance and structured products
- high margin on their lending vs cost of funds

This is good news for their shareholders. But it is not good news for their bank customers.

The customers probably get a low rate of interest on their savings, and pay high rates of interest on their loans and credit card rollovers.

Make the banks compete - by looking for better choices to earn higher returns on your money. You can also make better investments to earn several tens of thousands of dollars more!
