Dollar Interest is an independent Singapore money newsroom. We cover the CPF and retirement decisions, insurance, savings, investing, property, credit cards and travel money that working adults and retirees actually face.

What We Do

We explain money decisions in plain English. Our articles show the maths, link figures to their official sources (CPF Board, MAS, IRAS, MOH, HDB and others).

We write for readers who are careful with money. Many of you compare everything to the guaranteed CPF rate, and you should: guaranteed is worth something. Our job is to lay out the options and the trade-offs, not to push you towards any of them.

How We Write

AI tools research and write many of our articles, and an article may be published without a member of our team reviewing it. Every article lists its sources, so you can verify anything that matters to you. Photographs are AI-generated illustrations. Read more in our editorial policy.

What We Do Not Do

  • We do not give personalised financial advice, and we are not licensed to. We cannot answer questions about your own money individually.
  • We are not part of, or endorsed by, CPF Board, MAS or any other government agency, bank or insurer.
  • We do not let anyone pay to change a ranking, a conclusion or a headline.
  • We do not promise returns. Anything that is not guaranteed is described that way.

How We Make Money

The site may carry advertising, clearly labelled sponsored content and affiliate links. Each one is labelled where it appears.
