Seabank is the newest addition to digital banks in the country. If you want your money to earn a 4% – 6% interest rate compared to a traditional bank that only offers 0.75% – 1% interest rate.
According to their website “SeaBank is a mobile banking application for your daily financial needs. Earn more interest daily with attractive interest rates, while enjoying seamless transactions on your mobile phone anytime, anywhere.”
They currently offer 6% p.a. Interest Rate (starting June 1, 2022 to September 30, 2022) at no minimum balance, no deposit cap, and no lock-in period. It took me only 10 minutes to open an account with SeaBank.
