Money and Me: Banks have been hiking savings and fixed deposit rates; why?

A digital bank, a S$1.3 billion war chest - and a big question: can a newcomer really change how Singaporeans save, invest and bank.

Michelle speaks with Natalia Goh, CEO of MariBank, on how a digital-first model is reshaping everyday finance.

Backed by Sea Limited and licensed by the Monetary Authority of Singapore, MariBank has rapidly grown its investment offerings to over S$1.3 billion in AUM.

We unpack how the Lion - MariBank SavePlus Fund works, what investors should know about short-term bonds and capital preservation, and how gold investing fits into a digital wallet for this bank's customers.

Natalia also explains fixed deposit rates, the rationale behind the S$100,000 deposit cap, and what safety looks like in a digital bank.

Finally, we ask the big question for savers and investors alike: is putting your money with a digital bank worth a thought?

As 2026 begins, Money and Me takes a moment of introspection - looking not just at how much you made, but how you spent.

What did money add to your life in 2025 - and what quietly drained your peace, health, or joy?

Hosted by Michelle Martin, this episode features Christopher Tan, CEO of Providend, who introduces a powerful reframing: Return on Spending, not just Return on Investing.

From a $10,000 wedding anniversary to resisting ego-driven purchases, Christopher shares how values - not status - guided his big financial decisions.

The conversation explores how spending today shapes the future story of our health, ageing, and relationships.

Listeners are invited to do a simple year-end money audit - no spreadsheets required - before setting their goals for the year ahead.
