Oversubscription is a thing again

Last month, I thought that oversubscription wouldn’t be likely given the relative unpopularity of SSBs in recent months. It was, however, oversubscribed a little.

The ceiling amount was relatively high at S$69,000, and it seems like May 2023 SSB will have a similar ceiling amount given that the returns are similar to April’s SSB.

This month’s SSB is a good, very low risk way of getting around 3% p.a. returns for up to 10 years. It may not be as attractive as fixed deposits or bank accounts, but the relatively long tenure makes it a unique tool for safe and steady returns.

Application timeline

Note that applying early does not confer you any priority in the allotment process, so it is more ideal to apply nearer to the closing date. This is because your funds are deducted from your account at the point of application, and you do not get any interest for such funds.
