I realise I have been spending more than my maximum cashback limit on the UOB One Card recently. Would it be a good idea to get another miles card as a secondary card?

Very true there online services are terrible and card applications very bad experience too. In my case I tried to apply for the UOB one card for about 3 weeks. I first tried to apply through internet banking account, got rejected because I had to upload all my documents. I uploaded my documents and applied. Then began the series of excuses and unprofessionalism which resulted in getting a solution after one long week.

Yes it does, take a second glance at the quarterly cash rebate and you will notice that there is a total minimum spending of at least $500 monthly for three consecutive months to qualify for benefits.

I too have a joint one account with my partner and based on our experience, the supplementary card does not count towards the $500 minimum spend as we were made aware of this reality a few months into it. You can try to request another card for the main card holder making it two debit cards under the main holders name but say a MasterCard and one Visa. It will probably help both spending counts to hit the tier.

Well you definitely can as you should understand that a bank account is only one type of product the bank offers from very many. For me personally I have credit cards with both DBN and CITI but I have no bank accounts with them. Be rest assured they will give you an iBanking account to access the credit card rewards portal.

If you don’t have a payment slip, you can submit your Income tax statement as that works too but they will require about two years’ worth of it and a minimum annual income of S$30,000 OR a Fixed Deposit collateral of at least S$10,000. If you are able to automate payments of at least $500 to the card, it will get you 3% cash rebate. Also, you will have privileges to UOB promotions as well.

The number of foreigners borrowing from lic.ensed moneylenders increased from 7,500 in 2016, the number rose to 35,000 in the first half of 2018 alone. This is one of the reasons why they changed the law. The police have also observed more foreigners here borrowing from unlicensed moneylenders

A bond is debt instrument that a government or a company issues to raise money.. Bonds are low-risk, stable and predictable investment. Investors earn from this because the investors act as a lender and the government acts as the borrower.

Just like in any country, there aren't many investments that guarantee your principal as well as returns in Singapore but of those that do, you should be very careful of scams. One other thing to understand is that when you get to enjoy such safety in your investments and visibility in your cashflows, you need to be prepared to accept a rate of return that is close to the risk-free rate. Your first bet is to invest on Singapore Government Treasury bills and/or Singapore Government Bonds. You can also try investing on saving plans or fixed deposits but the returns are low. If you want higher returns then you really need to invest on high risk investments.

In a joint statement, the Ministry of Law (MinLaw) and Ministry of Manpower (MOM) said that foreigners living in Singapore will be subject to new aggregate loan caps and the self-exclusion framework for borrowing from licensed moneylenders just like Singaporeian citizens. This just implies that this will better protect foreigners such as yourself residing here and your/their employers from the effects of over-borrowing.

There are many ways to invest your money. You could invest it by opening a high yeild savings account for emergency purposes or you could invest all of it on CPF. There is also an option of dividing the money and putting half of it in your savings account and putting half in CPF. Eitherway it all depends on your current financial status and necessities.
