On your DBS app, “security limit” refers to the maximum amount that you allow StashAway to withdraw from your DBS bank account. This isn’t the same amount as the transfer limit.
Let’s say you plan to deposit $500 SGD dollars into your General Investing portfolio every month for 6 months. Afterwards, you intend to increase your deposits to $700 SGD for another 6 months, and potentially increase it even more after a year. In this case, you could set your DBS security limit to $1500 SGD to account for the changes you might make on your deposit plan in the future.
