Compare mortgage rates across banks in Singapore

Quick answer: This page puts the home loan rates that Singapore banks publish on their own pages into one dated table, checked on 20 October 2026, and links to each bank guide on this site. Where a bank prints no rate online, the row says rates on request. Floating packages are priced off compounded SORA from MAS, shown below, plus the bank's spread. Bank rates change often, so this page is a reference and not a live quote.

Use this page to compare mortgage rates across banks on the same day, with the source page and the date checked beside every figure. It is not a promo aggregator and it does not rank banks. Read the lock in period and the rate after the fixed period, not only the first year number.

Data note: every row below was read on 20 October 2026 from the bank's own public page, and each row links to that page. Where the page prints no rate, the row says rates on request instead of guessing. Rates are indicative, differ by loan size, property type and customer profile, and change without notice. Hong Leong Finance, RHB and the other finance companies were not checked in this round, so they are left out rather than shown with old figures.

Rates checked 20 Oct 2026 · SORA reference below

SORA reference. The latest 3 Month Compounded SORA on the MAS Domestic Interest Rates tool was 1.2492% per annum, for 16 October 2026. Source: Monetary Authority of Singapore, Domestic Interest Rates, checked 20 October 2026. A floating package adds the bank's spread to this figure, so the SORA reading on its own is not a loan rate.

Beyond the banks

HDB concessionary loan

For eligible HDB flat buyers, HDB itself offers a concessionary loan pegged at 0.1% above the CPF Ordinary Account interest rate and reviewed quarterly, which is 2.60% per annum with the CPF OA rate at 2.50% (HDB, checked 20 October 2026). It is not a bank product and behaves differently: no lock in penalty structure like a bank loan, but once you refinance away from it to a bank loan, HDB rules do not allow you to switch back.

Finance companies: Hong Leong Finance, Sing Investments and Finance

Singapore also has finance companies, licensed lenders distinct from full banks, that write home loans. Hong Leong Finance, RHB and Sing Investments and Finance also write residential mortgages. We did not read a current public rate for them on 20 October 2026, so we are not going to show one here. Ask the lender for a written quote. Bank of China also writes Singapore mortgages; the same applies.

What SORA means for your mortgage

SORA, the Singapore Overnight Rate Average, is the Monetary Authority of Singapore's benchmark, calculated as the volume weighted average of actual overnight interbank Singapore dollar borrowing. It replaced SIBOR as the standard reference for home loans. Most floating rate mortgages here are priced as compounded SORA, either the one month or three month figure, plus a fixed bank margin. A package quoted as three month compounded SORA plus 0.65%, for example, moves automatically as SORA moves, which is why floating packages are compared on the spread over SORA rather than a single fixed number. See the SORA glossary entry for the fuller explanation.

1 month vs 3 month compounded, what is the difference

Both are derived from the same daily SORA prints published by MAS, just averaged over a different trailing window. The 1 month compounded figure resets and reprices your instalment monthly, so it reacts faster when the benchmark is moving, in either direction. The 3 month compounded figure averages a longer trailing window, so it smooths out short swings but lags a little when the trend changes. Neither is inherently cheaper, the choice mostly changes how quickly your instalment reflects a shift in rates.

What a spread actually costs, in dollars

The spread over SORA is not an abstract number. On a S$750,000 loan over a 25 year tenure, a difference of 0.25 percentage points in the effective rate, moving from 1.20% to 1.45% for example, changes the monthly instalment by roughly S$87, about S$1,044 a year. On a S$1,000,000 loan the same 0.25 point gap is roughly S$116 a month, about S$1,392 a year. This is why the spread over the benchmark, not just the headline first year rate, is worth reading carefully in the table above.

Go deeper on a specific lender

The table above is the fast comparison. These guides go deeper on specific lenders, what each tends to suit, what its lock in and clawback typically look like, and what to ask before signing. There is no dedicated guide yet for HSBC, UOB or Citibank on its own.

Frequently asked questions

Which Singapore bank has the lowest mortgage rate?

This page does not rank banks. On 20 October 2026 the published rates were not comparable like for like: Maybank printed a 2 year fixed rate of 3.30%, Citibank a 2 year fixed rate of 2.25% for loans under S$1 million, and several banks printed no rate at all. The lowest first year number is not always the cheapest package once lock in period, clawback and the spread after the lock in are counted. Ask each bank for a written quote for your loan size and profile.

Should I use POSB or a private bank for my HDB flat loan?

For POSB home loan rates, POSB and DBS publish an HDB Loan at 1.78% per annum for years 1 to 3, checked 20 October 2026, pegged below the CPF Ordinary Account rate. The HDB concessionary loan is pegged 0.1 percentage point above the CPF OA rate and is reviewed quarterly. Once you leave the HDB loan for a bank loan, HDB rules do not allow you to switch back. Which suits you depends on your own numbers, and this page is general information only.

How often are these Singapore mortgage rates updated?

The table was read from each bank's public page on 20 October 2026 and is refreshed periodically, not in real time. Banks reprice without notice and quote differently by loan size, property type and customer profile, so confirm the live number with the bank before you commit.

What is the difference between a fixed and a floating package?

A fixed package locks your rate for a set period, often two to three years, then reverts to a floating rate, usually SORA plus a spread. A floating package moves with its benchmark from day one. Fixed buys payment certainty during the lock in, while floating can be cheaper when rates ease but exposes you to increases.

What does SORA mean and how does it set my rate?

SORA, the Singapore Overnight Rate Average, is the Monetary Authority of Singapore's benchmark for Singapore dollar interest rates, replacing the older SIBOR. Most floating packages price off compounded SORA, either the one month or three month reading, plus a fixed bank spread. When SORA moves, floating instalments follow at the next reset, so SORA is the number to watch for floating loans.

Why do these rates differ from the promo rates on aggregator sites?

Aggregator headline rates often apply to new launches, specific loan size bands or limited promotions. This page shows only what each bank prints on its own public page, dated and linked. Treat any quoted rate as indicative and verify the exact package and conditions directly with the bank before deciding.

How do I choose the right package for my situation?

It depends on your cashflow, how long you plan to hold, your view on the rate cycle and your appetite for payment swings. The lowest headline rate is not always the best fit once lock in terms and reversion spreads are weighed. Winfred Quek can map the package structure to your profile in a rate consultation, without recommending a specific bank on your behalf.
