      Citibank 2-month FD at 4.5%! How are they able to offer so much higher than the other banks?

      It’s a structured investment product. Some of these can go up to above 5%.

        Is there a minimum period before you can withdraw from it? Or transfer to the new SBB? Actually the advantage is that you can still get the accrued interest if you withdraw prematurely (I think).[/quote]
        It takes at least one (1) month to redeem of SSB back to cash and then can apply for the new SSB. The problem is after I redeem my previous SSB, the interest rate for the new SSB may fall.

                  Hold a bit longer? Maybe we will soon see FD rates like back in the 80's era?

                      FD rates at Maybank, Standchart and Bank of China are better than the local 3 banks. But not sure if my concerns about placing FD with foreign banks are justified.
                      Which bank did you go with in the end? Was it easy to open a new FD? I think BOC went up to 3.3/3.4%.
