When you invest in eligible Unit Trusts denominated in foreign currencies, the value of such investments will be converted into Singapore dollars at the bank’s prevailing currency exchange rate.

To qualify for bonus interest, the converted amount must meet the minimum single subscription amount required. The bank will determine the equivalent Singapore Dollar amount using exchange rates it reasonably considers appropriate.
