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, even with interest rates going up across the board recently, fixed deposits don't provide enough flexibility to most who want to preserve and grow cash sustainably.
Enter cash management accounts, sometimes also termed as cash management solutions.
Cash management accounts are a fairly recent offering, starting when robo-advisors saw a gap in the market — the lack of a place to store idle cash, with decent yields and liquidity.
For example, StashAway Simple Plus was launched in July 2022, Endowus Cash Smart in June 2020, and Syfe Cash+ in January 2021. However, Endowus did update its Cash Smart product with a new option, Ultra.
In this article, we'll compare six different providers offering cash managements in Singapore, as well as take a look at what's new in the space.
NEW: 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 5.07% 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 April 2025, Mari Invest offers 3.13% 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 high potential return of 3.1% p.a., it’s an attractive option for those looking to maximise their savings.
If you’re comparing Syfe Cash+ Flexi and StashAway Simple, you’ll find that they have identical underlying funds. However, StashAway Simple gives you a little more; new customers earn 0.25% p.a. more for 6 months.
Syfe is a robo-advisor that offers unique portfolios such as:
- Syfe Income+: Earn regular, diversified income with a tax-efficient,
actively-managed bond portfolio. - Syfe REIT+: A portfolio that invests in REITs, similar to a REIT ETF.
- Syfe Core Equity100: Investing in 100% global equities.
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: 2.6% to 2.9% p.a. projected returns after fees
- Enhanced: 3.1% to 3.4% p.a. projected returns after fees
- Ultra: 3.3% to 3.6% 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.
Check out our full review of Endowus here.

StashAway Simple and Simple™ Plus
The ‘OG’ of cash management accounts, StashAway Simple is not new to the market. Earning a projected 3.1% p.a, (plus 0.25% p.a. for six months if you're new), StashAway Simple does not impose a minimum deposit amount and there is no management fee charged.
There is also StashAway Simple™ Plus, which offers a higher projected rate of 3.5% p.a. yield to maturity from allocation to short-duration bonds and underlying funds.
Both StashAway Simple and StashAway Simple™ Plus are offered to all users, even if you’re not yet investing with StashAway.
StashAway chooses a variety of best-in-class ETFs for their portfolios. Besides StashAway Simple, there are three different types of portfolios offered by StashAway. Their portfolios consist of:
- General Investing: A portfolio tailored based on the risk exposure you are willing to take on
- Goal-based Investing: Invest based on your financial goals, such as retirement and home ownership

SingSaver's Exclusive Offer: Enjoy waiver of management fees on up to the first S$40,000 invested in the first 6 months. No minimum deposit required. T&Cs apply.

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 2.344% p.a as of April 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.
SingSaver Exclusive Offer: Open a Tiger Brokers account and fund a minimum amount of USD 1,000 within the promotional period to receive S$100 Cash, S$120 Shopee Vouchers, or Apple AirTag (4 pack) (worth S$149). Offer is stackable with Tiger Brokers' welcome offer. Valid till 1 May 2025. T&Cs apply.
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.
Every spending situation is unique. SingSaver assembles the 'Best For' list, so you can decide what’s best for you.
