Our take
Pros
- Tiered savings interest rates enabling you to earn more as you save more
- Seamless access with a Debit Card
- Available for joint account holders
- Available to individuals (citizens and foreign nationals aged 21 or older), with the option to open joint accounts.
Cons
- Minimum age of 21 years old
- Lower returns on small balances: Returns on small amounts may not be rewarding compared to certain other specialized digital savings accounts.
Our take
The Step-Up Plus account is a balanced, practical choice for those wishing to open a traditional savings account that offers full flexibility for daily banking transactions—such as debit cards, joint accounts, and payment instructions—while benefiting from a tiered interest rate that rises with increased savings, alongside periodic profit payouts. If your goal is to save while maintaining transaction flexibility and choosing a payout frequency that suits you, this account effectively meets your needs. However, if your priority is securing the highest possible interest rate on fixed amounts without the use of cards or periodic withdrawals, then specialized digital accounts (such as Digital E-SAVER) or savings certificates might be a more profitable option.
The Step-Up Plus account is a balanced and practical option for those wishing to open a traditional savings account that offers full flexibility for day-to-day banking transactions.
