How to credit your salary or income to your bank savings account? You can credit your salary to your Standard Chartered savings account via cheque, cash deposit at ATMs or in Standard Chartered branches, funds and bank transfers, and GIRO. If your savings account has an interest rate programme or is linked to a debit or credit card cashback programme, then you will need to credit your salary via GIRO with the codes “SAL” or “PAY” – something you can inform your HR (Human Resources) department to assist you with.

The Jumpstart account offers 1.00% per annum interest on your account balance (below S$20,000), and 0.10% per annum interest for funds above S$20,000. Interest is calculated daily, and credited at the end of each month.
If you have a SCB Cashback debit card, you can link it to your Jumpstart account and make it the card’s primary account. This way, you will be awarded 1.00% per annum bonus cash back on eligible Mastercard transactions. Cashback capped at S$60 monthly.

Even after you turn 27, you will still be able to keep your Jumpstart Standard Chartered account – and the balance in your account will continue to generate the 1.00% per annum interest.
