Best Cash Management Accounts In Singapore (2026)
Updated: 23 Oct 2026
Written byChing Sue Mae
Birthed as an alternative solution to high-yield savings accounts, here’s a side-by-side comparison of the cash management accounts available in Singapore.
Savings accounts have traditionally been the go-to option to keep our hard-earned cash. If you’re savvy enough, you’d opt for a high-yield savings account, hit the qualifying criteria, and earn yourself bonus interest rates.
However, especially in today's low interest rate environment, savings accounts and fixed deposits don't provide enough flexibility to those who want to preserve and grow cash sustainably.
Enter cash management accounts, sometimes also termed as cash management solutions.
Cash management accounts offer a place to store idle cash, while offering decent yields and liquidity. They are a fairly recent addition. StashAway Simple was launched in July 2022, Endowus Cash Smart in June 2020, and Syfe Cash+ in January 2021.
These were quickly followed by similar products offered by online brokerages as well as independent companies such as Chocolate Finance that reimagine what cash managed accounts can do for the average saver.
In this article, we'll compare eight different providers offering cash managed accounts in Singapore, as well as take a look at what's new in the space.
NEW: Chocolate Finance
Chocolate Finance stands out from the crowd with its refreshingly simple take. It's a cash management account that lets you grow your money with no lock-ins and no hoops to jump through. You will earn returns daily, which you can see right on the app.
Furthermore, you can deposit and withdraw your money at any time, although withdrawals will need a few business days to complete (your holdings need to be sold before you can cash out).
Using the included Chocolate VISA Debit Card, you can also spend your balance and be rewarded with HeyMax miles, or diversify your cash into USD to take advantage of favourable forex trends.
Here's how Chocolate Finance works in a nutshell:
- Interest:
- SGD - Enjoy 2% p.a. return on your first S$20k, 1.8% p.a. on your next S$80k and up to 1.8% p.a. on any amount thereafter.
- USD - Enjoy 4.1% p.a. return on your first US$20k, 3.8% p.a. on your next US$80k and up to 3.8% p.a. on any amount thereafter.
- Currencies: SGD, USD
- Deposits and withdrawals are both in SGD and USD. You can convert between currencies on the app in just a few taps
- Minimum amount: No minimum deposit, but note that balances below a certain threshold will not earn returns
- Fees: None by Chocolate Finance, although funds management fees apply. Returns displayed are net of fund management fees.
Chocolate Finance special features
Top-up Programme
Chocolate Finance supports your efforts to grow your cash with its Top-up Programme that works on the first $50,000 in each of your SGD and USD balances. It ensures you earn the stated returns, and Chocolate Finance makes up for any shortfalls in returns. Balances exceeding $50,000 will enjoy market returns without top-up support.
Here's what you can expect to earn on your cash with Chocolate Finance (as at Aug 2025, rates subject to change):
|
SGD |
USD |
|
First $20,000: 2.5% p.a. |
First $20,000: 4.3% p.a. |
|
Next $30,000: 2.2% p.a. |
Next $30,000: 4% p.a. |
|
Amounts thereafter: target 2.2% p.a. |
Amounts thereafter: target 4% p.a. |
Note that the Top-up Programme is available during the Qualifying Period from now until 30 September 2026, or until the total funded amount across the platform reaches S$1.5 billion, whichever comes first.
Earn HeyMax Miles with the Chocolate VISA Debit Card
Another unique feature not offered by other cash management accounts on the list is that Chocolate Finance lets you earn rewards when you spend your balances.
Your account comes with a Chocolate VISA Debit Card that earns 1 HeyMax Mile per dollar spent up to S$1,000 per month, and 0.4 miles per dollar thereafter. Bill payments earn miles too, capped at 100 miles per month.
Additionally, the Chocolate VISA Debit Card makes for a handy travel card. It offers zero FX fees on foreign currency transactions, so you can enjoy rates close to what you see on Google.
To sum up, Chocolate Finance is a fuss-free solution made for everyone who wants to put their idle cash to work for them, earning higher returns. The prospect of earning miles while you spend, as well as zero FX fees for overseas transactions simply make for a sweeter deal.

Low risk low returns investment vehicles
Moneybull by Webull
Moneybull takes the concept of a cash management account and applies it to cash balances in a trading account. This means that you can earn returns on the money sitting in your trading account as you wait for the right trading opportunities to present themselves.
Here's how Moneybull works:
- Interest: Up to 4.18% p.a. 7-day yield
- Currency:
- Cash account: USD
- Margin account: SGD and USD
- Auto-subscription: Available
- Minimum amount: S$10 or US$10
- Fees and charges: None by Webull, fund management fees may apply
Here's what's exciting about Moneybull: You can still use your funds to trade, even if they have been allocated to Moneybull.
Webull does this by adding 99% of the market value of your Moneybull position to your Buying Power for trading purposes. Should you require more funds to settle your trade, your Moneybull position will be redeemed.
In summary, Moneybull provides investors with the opportunity to make their cash work for them round the clock -- with no disruption to planned trades. This could well be the ideal fix to the opportunity cost of letting your cash sit idle.
Mari Invest
Mari Invest is a cash management solution offered by MariBank. Unlike most of the others on the list, Mari Invest currently offers access to just one investment fund -- Lion-MariBank SavePlus SGD.
According to its prospectus, this fund seeks to provide higher yields on your Singapore Dollar deposits while maintaining low risk and providing high liquidity. It does so by investing in a broadly diversified portfolio of debt instruments and short-term money market instruments, along with other collective investment schemes.
As at Aug 2025, Mari Invest offers 2.60% p.a. in projected returns.
A minimum of S$1 is required to start investing, but there is no minimum to earn interest. There is a 0.25% p.a. management fee charged, but your returns are net of the management fee.
One notable feature of Mari Invest is its Instant Withdrawal. For amounts up to S$10,000, withdrawals are processed instantly. Amounts more than S$10,000 will be settled by the same day if withdrawal is before 7.30am, or by the next business day otherwise.
Syfe Cash+ Flexi
The latest entrant to the cash management solution space is Syfe’s Cash+ Flexi account. Offering a projected return ranging from 2.3% p.a. to 4.2% p.a., it’s an attractive option for those looking to maximise their savings.
Cash management accounts are considered low risk, but if you're particularly risk averse, you might consider Syfe's Cash+ Guaranteed, which offers guaranteed returns of between 1.6% p.a. to 4.35% p.a., with short 1-, 3-, 6- and 12-month terms -- akin to traditional fixed despsits.
To put your money in Syfe Cash+ Flexi, you don’t need to invest in any other Syfe portfolio. However, if you are signing up via a referral, do keep in mind that the referral incentives are only for Syfe’s investment portfolios, not Syfe Cash+ Flexi (as Cash+ doesn't incur any management fees).

Endowus Cash Smart
Endowus is the first robo-advisor that allows you to invest not just cash and Supplementary Retirement Scheme (SRS) funds, but also your CPF money. This means that those looking to earn more than the 2.5% p.a. you’re getting in your CPF Ordinary Account now have the option of investing this money in the likes of funds that track the S&P 500 index and more.
There are three different Cash Smart accounts for you to choose from:
- Secure: 2% to 2.2% p.a. projected returns after fees
- Enhanced: 2.7% to 2.9% p.a. projected returns after fees
- Ultra: 2.9% to 3.1% p.a. projected returns after fees
Endowus Cash Smart (Secure) is the safest option of the three, though you have the flexibility to, well, enhance your returns with Endowus Cash Smart (Enhanced). Finally, Endowus Cash Smart (Ultra) is self-explanatory for the most part, boasting the highest projected returns out of all three accounts.
All Endowus Cash Smart options come with a small access fee of 0.05% p.a. You won’t need to invest with their investment portfolios before you can use Endowus Cash Smart. Furthermore, the S$10,000 min. initial investment of old has now been lowered to S$1,000 till further notice.

StashAway Simple™, Simple™ Plus and Simple™
The ‘OG’ of cash management accounts, StashAway now offers three cash solutions under its Simple™ suite, depending on how much flexibility you need:
- Simple: Projected rate of 1.6% p.a., with no lock-in period. It invests in 30% LionGlobal SGD Money Market Fund and 70% LionGlobal SGD Enhanced Liquidity Fund.
- Simple Plus: Yield to maturity of 3.5% p.a. It invests in short-duration bond funds (70% LionGlobal Short Duration Bond Fund, 30% Amova Short Term Bond Fund), so it may see some short-term volatility. There’s no lock-in, but StashAway recommends holding it for at least 12 months.
- Simple Fixed: Fixed rate of 1.3% p.a., with a 1-month lock-in. It isn’t a fixed deposit and isn’t covered by SDIC insurance.
Rates are after fees and accurate as of 19 Oct 2026. StashAway charges 0.15% p.a. on Simple and 0.2% p.a. on Simple Plus, and these fees are already reflected in the rates above. Your Simple balances also don’t count towards your managed portfolio fee tier.
There’s no minimum deposit, you can fund Simple and Simple Plus with cash or SRS, and you don’t need to invest in StashAway’s other portfolios to use them.

FSMOne Auto-Sweep
Almost like a ‘wallet’ for investors using the FSMOne platform to make trades, FSMOne AutoSweep serves as a storage space for idle money, sweeping your excess cash such as sales proceeds, bond maturities, dividends, coupons into the account. The latest net yield is SGD: 1.844% p.a., USD: 3.665% p.a. and CNH: 1.273% p.a., as of Aug 2025.
The Auto-Sweep account is a discretionary portfolio managed by FSM that is diversified across cash, money market funds and short duration bond funds. This helps to preserve your capital and even allows your funds to earn higher returns while staying liquid.
Besides the Auto-Sweep account, FSM is an investment platform that provides investors with access to:
- Global unit trusts and mutual funds
- Local and global bonds
- Stocks on the Singapore, Hong Kong and US market
- Managed portfolio services
- Insurance products
The funds in your Auto-Sweep account can be used to pay for the purchase of funds, stocks, bonds and ETFs without lag time.
Tiger Vault
Tiger Vault is a cash management account by Tiger Brokers. It aims to provide yields that are higher than savings accounts and fixed deposits, and invests in conservative assets such as money market funds and government bonds which carry very little risks. Though, note that the returns aren't guaranteed.
Currently, it offers a return of up to 4.5% p.a., but keep in mind that the interest rate is updated regularly and may change according to market conditions so the returns aren't guaranteed.
To access Tiger Vault, you need to have a Tiger Brokers account. Tiger Vault has a multi-currency vault which allows you to select the mutual funds in SGD and USD.
The list of mutual funds in SGD include:
- Phillip Money Market Fund "A"
- Fullerton SGD Cash Fund "A" Acc
- United SGD Money Market
As for fees, there are no fees for subscription, redemption or interest. But there are various expense ratios for the underlying funds. There's also no minimum investment amount.
There's also an auto-sweep feature which allows you to sweep uninvested cash into the Tiger Vault, allowing you to maximise the returns on your idle cash. Moreover, this feature also lets you maintain your purchasing power as the funds will be used for trading instead of letting is sit idly in your account.

Go one step further - invest your idle cash
Cash management accounts are exemplary for growing your savings. It also makes an easy, less daunting entry into the world of investing, particularly with robo-advisors.
A simple question to ask yourself: Do you really need this cash to be liquid? If you find yourself not relying on that cash in your bank account (or even forgetting the account exists), perhaps you’re missing out on the opportunity to invest these funds instead.
While their investment services could come with higher risk compared to their cash management accounts, remember that you have the option to select a portfolio that is tailored for your risk appetite and financial goals.
