Hello - This is regarding the following article on your portal regarding using CPF for T bills

https://investmentmoats.com/saving-and-investing-my-money/6-month-singapore-t-bill-yield-early-june-2023-singaporean-savers/

Customers no longer need to go down to the branch to apply for T bills using cpf oa/sa if they bank with OCBC. They can apply using the digital channels (mobile or internet banking). It’s so seamless and convenient for the customer.

Request you to please update the post.

Thanks

Hi Shankar, thanks for the update. I wanted to verify for my bank regarding CPF SA but sadly it was during after hours so I was unable to do that.

For those wondering why the copyLivePortfolioDataToHistory function seems to be adding an empty row at the start of the portfolio history sheet, it's because row number two isn't actually empty, but contains the text note in cell J2 that explains what the sheet does. If you delete that note, the script will populate the rows starting from row number 2 without leaving a blank one. To keep the note and make the empty row go away you'd have to modify the code, but I guess it's only a minor inconvenience, you either delete the note or keep the blank row. Thanks so much for this sheet, which I believe is the best free sheet of this kind available online. Keep it up!

Hi where did u get info that AIA Platinum Legacy is giving 8% crediting rate?

Kyith

Tuesday 22nd of March 2022

Hi LG, the 8% crediting rate was shown in the BI. However, I got more than one comment that I should recheck my facts about what was in the BI and what could be within the recommendation parameters. I would take down my post first to avoid any confusion. Do reach out to me if you need to find out more. Thanks and sorry for any inconvenience.
