Depends how much money you are going to deposit. It is not feasible if you are going to split $3 million into 40 banks just to get insured for $75K.
However, if you are going to deposit just $300K, then perhaps you may split into 3 big banks. ....
Thinking is difficult, that's why most people judge

I think your account in each different bank will be insured for 75k. No?

No need...too troublesome and time consuming.
Banks are stringently regulated by MAS in SG.
Deposit millions also okay.

or they dun care, just dump into 1-2 banks suah like my father in law did ?
even if say $500K, would need 7 banks to meet the 75K
$1 million would need 14 banks and the amount of account numbers/id/password to manage is siao, do u know anyone really goes to that extreme ?
If it is a joint account, insurance is 150k.
Then,
you can have all staggered out so that you have 12-month FDs matured in different months to get advantage of rising interest rates.
If not, you have one FD half a year ago only 1.8% and now it is 4.5%.

It will depend. If say you are retired no more working then everyday nothing to do can go to this extreme which I will do if I have that many monies. 14 acct number, password so be it. It helps to occupy your time so you don't go 老人痴呆 so everyday count monies and interest see they got cheat you or not. Your brain are working not stagnant

That is what I thought of too, but also must be cautious of Jiuhu banks who issues relatively high interest and China banks
I placed $75 max at each jiuhu banks just to be safe as their interest too attractive to be ignore and they beri easy to apply

But if you deposit your money in jiuhu banks, it is more risky, why take the risk for only a few percentage points higher..........?

Is there even one case of people who.lost money depositing in a regulated bank in last 80yrs in a developed country?
I can't find a single case.
Closest is during financial crisis Icelandic banks cross over to UK to offer depositors 8% interest then collapse.
Even that was finally resolved and people got paid back.
If you put in bank regulated by MAS if something happens, will the MAS not compensate? it will just destroy Singapore reputation as a financial center.
There are so many things in life to worry about. This type.of thing is so low probability it looks like a complete waste of time to try to mitigate the risk
