OCBC said in a statement that it would adjust its product offerings accordingly when the interest rate situation improves.

OCBC is not the only one to cut interest rates.

Standard Chartered and DBS recently slashed interest rates to 0.4 per cent on the Jumpstart savings accounts and Multiplier accounts respectively for the lowest balance tiers.
