The combined total salary and dividend credits in that joint account will be recognised under the individual DBS Multiplier Accounts.

New regular/single premium insurance policies purchased through DBS/POSB in cash or with funds in DBS Supplementary Retirement Scheme (SRS) account after the DBS Multiplier Account is opened qualify as eligible transactions. The policy sign date will be taken as the date of purchase.

Eligible insurance policies will be recognised for bonus interest over 12 months. We will derive the monthly premium amount by:

Single premium policies: dividing the single premium amount by 120

Regular premium policies: dividing the annualised premium amount by 12

The inclusion of the monthly premium amount as an eligible transaction will start 1 month after the policy inception date and continue for 12 consecutive months as long as the policy is in force.
