Anyone here mind sharing at what age you give your children debit/credit cards?

My aunt works long hours and is a single mother to a 9 year old and 14 year old kids. As a result, her children are often stranded for petty cash or in need of cash in emergencies but still she refuses to give them cards. What do you think?

    Well to start with the kids are quite young, but considering the fact of the situation of a single mother with probably no extra helping hand coupled with the long working hours, obviously giving the children cards will be a good idea for emergency sake. But before that is done, time should be taken to give the children proper financial education and orientation on card usage.

Lowest rates for new and used car loans in Singapore

DBS charges interest rate of 2.28% for its car loans to individuals that apply online and that is the lowest rate offered for both new and used car loans in Singapore. In my opinion this makes DBS the most affordable option for those that require financing in order to purchase a vehicle. It is also worth noting that DBS is currently offering an even lower rate for the purchase of used cars (1.99% p.a.) in a promotion.

This may be the cheapest car loan refinancing option in Singapore

This may be the cheapest car loan refinancing option in Singapore as the bank allows borrowers to refinance their existing car loans for a very competitive rate of 2.08%, which is much cheaper than most rates for new loans. While the bank also offers loans for the purchase of new and used vehicles, these rates of 2.78% and 2.98% are not the cheapest available. If you are approved to refinance your existing car loan from another bank, you may be able to save thousands of dollars by switching to OCBC due to its refinance rate of 2.08%, which is significantly cheaper than those of most car loans offered by lenders in Singapore.
