Singapore Mortgage Rates 2026, Compare Every Bank

Quick answer: This page compares fixed and floating home loan packages across twelve Singapore lenders, DBS, POSB, OCBC, UOB, Maybank, Standard Chartered, CIMB, HSBC, Citibank, Hong Leong Finance and RHB, alongside the HDB concessionary loan, plus the SORA benchmark those floating packages are priced against. Every figure below is dated so you know exactly how fresh it is, because bank rates move week to week and this page is not a substitute for a live quote.

Twelve lenders, side by side, fixed and floating, with the SORA benchmark behind the floating packages explained properly. This is not a promo aggregator: it reflects standard walk in rates for typical loan quantums, dated so you always know how current the number is. Rates change weekly, so the table below is a starting reference, confirmed on enquiry, not a live feed.

Data note: the packages below are from our most recent verified survey, dated 29 April 2026 (Hong Leong Finance figures are from September 2025, the oldest in this set). Bank desks reprice on their own schedule, often weekly, and quote differently by quantum, citizenship and profile. Treat every number here as a starting point. We never invent a rate: where a figure is not confirmed, we say so rather than guess.

Beyond the banks

HDB concessionary loan

For eligible HDB flat buyers, HDB itself offers a concessionary loan fixed at 2.6% per annum, pegged at 0.1% above the CPF Ordinary Account interest rate. 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 is in the table above. Sing Investments and Finance also offers residential mortgages; we do not have a verified current rate for it in this survey, so we are not going to guess one here, ask Winfred for a live quote if this lender is relevant to you. Bank of China also writes Singapore mortgages; the same applies, no verified figure to publish yet.

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.

Frequently asked questions

Which Singapore bank has the lowest mortgage rate?

No single bank is permanently the cheapest. In our most recent survey, dated 29 April 2026, Maybank and Standard Chartered quoted among the lowest fixed two year headline rates, while CIMB and RHB priced only floating SORA packages. Rankings like this shift often, and the lowest first year number is not always the cheapest package once lock in period, clawback and the reversion spread after the lock in are counted. Ask Winfred for a fresh comparison run against your loan quantum and profile.

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

POSB is DBS's brand for HDB backed home loans, and its packages compete against the HDB concessionary loan, which is fixed at 2.6% per annum, pegged to the CPF Ordinary Account rate plus 0.1%. Once you leave the HDB loan for a bank loan, including a POSB one, HDB rules do not allow you to switch back. Whether a bank loan beats the HDB loan depends on your comfort with a floating or short fixed rate against the certainty of 2.6%, which is a decision worth mapping to your own numbers rather than defaulting to either option.

How often are these Singapore mortgage rates updated?

The comparison table on this page is a dated survey, currently from 29 April 2026, refreshed periodically rather than in real time. Bank desks reprice weekly and can quote differently by quantum, profile and current promotions, so treat every figure on this page as a starting reference and always confirm the live number with the bank, or ask Winfred to pull a current comparison, 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 quantum bands or limited promotions. This table reflects standard walk in packages for a typical private property or HDB loan of roughly S$400,000 or more. 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.
