SeaBank Peso savings account interest rate vs. other banks
SeaBank offers 5.00% interest per annum, and earnings are credited daily. There’s no maximum deposit, but there’s a daily limit of up to ₱1 million on outgoing transactions like sending money from SeaBank to other local banks. For incoming transfers to your SeaBank account, there’s no limit.
For example, you can receive ₱5 million from a local bank straight to your SeaBank account. But you can only transfer to other local banks and e-wallets up to ₱1 million. The savings account is straightforward. If you save more, then you earn more. The total interest earnings are calculated based on the depositor’s available balance, net of tax deductions.
According to SeaBank’s calculator, here’s how much interest you will earn. Your earnings are subject to 20% withholding tax.
