    To promote regular savings habit, families who do not withdraw any cash from their accounts prior to enrolling the same child in the next  programme run six months later, they will receive an additional S$100 sign-up incentive. This amount will be deposited into their Maybank Youngstarz account tagged to the Maybank KidSTART Saving Stars programme. 
  • What happens when the saving programme ends?
    When the programme ends, the saving account will still be opened under you and your child’s name.
