Good News For Hardcore Savers!
Read? Deposit insurance coverage rises to S$75,000; gig workers gain insurance policy protection
DEPOSIT insurance will rise to S$75,000 to give savers more protection in the event of bank or finance company failure.
Insurance policy owners who use their cars or homes to generate income will now also be protected should their insurer go under.
Depositors and insurance policy owners will enjoy such enhanced protection from April 1, 2019, said the Singapore Deposit Insurance Corporation (SDIC) on Thursday.
The latest changes to the deposit insurance (DI) and policy owners' protection (PPF) schemes protect deposits up to S$75,000 per depositor and extend protection to personal assets used for commercial purposes, it said.
"The increase in deposit insurance coverage to S$75,000 from next Monday will ensure that more than nine out of 10 depositors will have their savings fully protected if a bank or finance company fails," the SDIC said.
