On top of that, you’ll also get free insurance coverage with Dash PET and enjoy peace of mind knowing that your savings are capital guaranteed. Here’s a snapshot of the key benefits you can look forward to:

The best thing about Dash PET is how accessible it is.

With this low barrier to entry, practically anyone - whether you’re a student, freelancer or retiree - can save and earn with Dash PET.
And before you think that there’s some hidden criteria you have to fulfil before you can enjoy Dash PET’s full suite of benefits, there’s really none. All you have to do is save between S$50 and S$30,000 in your Dash PET policy!
There are also no service fees to worry about and transfers between your Dash PET policy and Dash wallet are completely free.
3. Earn bonus interest with free and affordable paid insurance
Who doesn’t love a freebie, especially when it lets you earn more on your savings?
Dash PET’s free insurance for Death & Total and Permanent Disability not only gives you complimentary coverage of up to five times your account value (capped at S$50,000), but also a bonus interest of 0.2% p.a^. on the first S$10,000 of your savings.
