Being a 16 year old is tough.
Bank accounts like the
SingLife Account will only allow you to open an account when you’re 18.
For those accounts that are available, the
interest rates are pretty unattractive.
However,
Singapura Finance’s Vivid Savings Account could be the answer for you!
Although it has many limitations, it may be a perfect stop-gap account before you turn 18.

Vivid is a
savings account provided by Singapura Finance.
