Read MoreThere are many differences between the OCBC 360 and UOB One Account but one thing they have is common is apparent - (much) higher interest rates on your savings.

The answer is simple - you earn at least 65X more interest (calculated using OCBC 360 account). To put that in numbers, you earn S$1,950 instead of S$30 interest each year!

For starters, the previous M&C Loyalty Club is now known as My Millennium Club - finally, a better name! The usual Gold and Diamond has also been renamed as Premium and Elite respectively - see table below for a quick summary of name changes.
Read MoreIf you have not heard about the IHG Friends and Family Rate, you should definitely check it out (especially if you are not big on points and statuses). It basically gives you a (sometimes) hefty discount on IHG properties worldwide so long you know someone from the inside - the only proof you need is a voucher that you can download HERE and the employee's name.
