Frequently Asked Questions
Save As You Serve (SAYS)
1. What is Save As You Serve (SAYS)?
As you do your part to secure our nation’s defence, let DBS help you get a head start in securing your financial future.
Bundle your DBS Multiplier account with our Debit Cards, DBS PayLah! wallet and our suite of Financial Planning solutions to unlock higher interest rates and accelerate your savings!
2. Do I need to switch my NS allowance from an existing DBS/POSB savings account to Multiplier Account?
No. You can continue to credit your NS allowance to an existing DBS/POSB savings account. You only need to deposit your savings in your DBS Multiplier Account, and use PayLah! for pay for any retail purchase to enjoy the higher interest rates on your Multiplier Account balances.

You must be at least 18 years of age to apply for Multiplier Account. You’ll earn interest of 0.55% p.a. when you credit NSF allowance with us and use PayLah! for your retail spend, adding up to S$500 or more monthly. That’s 11X more compared to a regular savings account.
While waiting for enlistment, you’ll earn 0.40% p.a. on the first S$10,000 of your Multiplier Account savings, with any PayLah! retail spend amount.
Applying for a DBS Multiplier Account

The interest is credited into your DBS Multiplier Account in 2 parts:
- Base interest: Credited on the last calendar day of the month
