Every mistake we have corrected, with the date and what changed.

When a number or a statement on Numbers.sg is wrong, we correct it and list it here: the date, what was wrong and what it says now. We do not quietly edit mistakes away.
Singapore dividend calendar: OCBC’s 2012 final dividend showed an ex-date of 29 August 2013, copied from OCBC’s own dividend history, which is after its 17 May 2013 payment. OCBC’s FY2012 results put books closure on 3 May 2013, and OCBC then went ex three market days before books closure, so the ex-date is now 29 April 2013. OCBC’s payouts are now read straight from its table, with no AI step. See the calendar
Singapore dividend calendar: DBS’s payouts for 2026 were marked as having a scrip option, so you could take new shares in place of cash. DBS’s announcements say the scrip scheme will not be applied to them, so every DBS payout here is cash only. DBS’s dates and amounts are now read from the file behind DBS’s own dividend table, which marks scrip payouts itself. See the calendar
Our Trip.com page said Trip.com pays the account behind our referral code S$20 in Trip Coins for each friend, up to S$200. Its referral terms say 1,000 Trip Coins per friend who books a flight or hotel and travels, for up to 20 friends, and Trip.com puts the full 20,000 coins at S$200, so about S$10 a friend. The S$20 we quoted is the friend’s hotel promo codes, not our reward. The “We earn from this” note now gives the terms’ figures. See the note
The foodpanda referral page first said the invite voucher’s minimum order wasn’t given (S$25 on foodpanda’s old terms page), that it lasts 7 days, and that members are paid for up to 10 friends. foodpanda’s app “How it works” screen says S$15, 31 days from sign-up and 8 friends. The page now uses those, shows the invite page’s 7 days beside the 31, and suggests ordering within 7 days to be safe. See the page
The SRS account page said UOB’s “Flexibility to withdraw” line sits on its page with nothing next to it about tax. It does have something: the small i beside that line opens a note that an early withdrawal is taxed in full and draws a 5% penalty. We took that claim out of “What the banks’ pages don’t say, or get wrong” and put in a slip UOB really makes: one page, two deadlines, 30 December in a panel and 31 December by 7 pm in its app steps. The same re-read of UOB filled out its row in the bank table: the TMRW app’s hours, Internet Banking and branches as other ways to pay in, no online opening for foreigners, and the yearly charge on gold. DBS, OCBC and UOB side by side
The Trust Bank referral page said the golden scratch cards of S$50 to S$8,000 go to the referrer, “not to you”. Trust’s website shows them only for the referrer, but its app’s referral screen says a friend who signs up for a credit card gets a golden scratch card too, with no amount given. The page now says so and lists that card separately. Its travel-rate table also gains the ringgit, rupiah and yen from a full screenshot of the app. Trust Bank referral code
The OCBC fixed deposit page said its rates were “as we read them today” while our reader was held on OCBC’s page; they were from 2 Nov. That line now gives the date of the last good read, and a new check fails if any page calls a held bank’s rates today’s. OCBC fixed deposit rates
The Savings Bond page said the first payment “is on Jun 2027” and the bond “matures on” a month: these are months, not dates, so both now read “in”. The payment months themselves were right. Singapore Savings Bonds
The home page’s topic list read “All singapore in numbers”, with a small s. It now keeps the capital, as it does for CPF, MAS and other names. Home page
The Singapore in numbers hub showed two blank bullets under “Coming next”, and the home page counted them as 2 more pages coming. Both now name the pages, life expectancy and an ageing Singapore, and drop each one the day it goes live. The hub’s search title, which promised ageing figures it doesn’t have yet, now says population and births. Singapore in numbers
About still named average and median salary as the next pages, two days after they went live on 6 Nov. Its “Planned next” list is now read from each hub’s plans and drops a page the day it is published. About
Sources marked 29 publishers “From wave 1”, as if not yet used, though live pages cited every one of them, Credit Bureau Singapore and MUIS among them. It also left out 13 official sources our pages cite, such as SDIC on 5 fixed deposit pages and HDB on the SORA page; they are now listed, and SingStat is listed under one name. Sources
How we get our numbers said calculator rates are never typed in by hand. Rules that change once a year, such as tax bands, stamp duty tiers and IPPT tables, are, and so are a few banks’ offers. A new section says which, how each is dated and re-checked, and counts them from the update schedule: 192 today. What we keep by hand
The Money tools hub left out three calculators: income tax, take-home pay and business loans. It now lists all of them, says which to use for what, and its description counts them itself, so it can’t fall behind again. Money tools
The email alerts page described 6 of the 24 alerts you can sign up for. It now lists every one, by topic, in the same words as its sign-up box, with a link to the page its numbers come from. What each alert sends
On the business loans hub, the quick answer for a business turned down by its bank sent readers to “the checker above”. The checker is on the bank-said-no page; the answer now points there. Business loans
The Rates hub’s answer to “Which pays more now: T-bills, Savings Bonds or fixed deposits?” mentioned “the tool at the top” and “the record above”. Both are on the Where to put your cash page, which the answer comes from, so it now says “on that page”. Rates
The Tools hub carried the same answer, sending readers to a tool “at the top” and a record “above”. Neither is on the Tools hub: they are on the Where to put your cash page, and the answer now says so. Tools
In the income tax calculator’s examples, the working mother, the 58-year-old and the foreigner were taxed with a bonus their labels didn’t mention. Each label now gives it: two months, one month and two months. The result line also said IRAS had given a rebate only for YA 2024 and YA 2025, when it also gave one for YA 2017 and YA 2019. Income tax calculator
Two answers on the pay hub. “How much of my pay goes to CPF?” gave the employer’s share as one fixed amount, S$1,360, which is 17% of the S$8,000 ceiling; on lower pay it is less, so it now says “up to”. “Is there a minimum wage?” read as if the part-time hourly rate began on 1 Jul 2026, the date of the monthly figure only; it now says so and links MOM’s Local Qualifying Salary page. And the job market answer pointed to “the table above”, which is on the job market page. Pay and work
On the average salary page, job titles read “Ict” and “It”, as in “It support technician”, because of how we tidied MOM’s capital letters. They read ICT and IT now, and the nightly update keeps them that way. Average salary
The line under the tax hub’s title said it was checked “against CPF Board”. CPF’s rates feed only the CPF relief in the sums; the tax rules come from IRAS, which the line now names, with the date we last read IRAS’s pages. Tax
SGD to JPY: the page called MAS’s figures daily all the way back to 1988. MAS published the yen rate once a week until the end of 2002 and every working day from January 2003. The chart, the year-by-year table, the records and the rate-on-a-date tool now say which, and a date before 2003 shows that week’s figure. The rates themselves were right. SGD to JPY
SGD to CNY: the page called MAS’s figures daily back to 1993; they were weekly until the end of 2002. The highest rate on record, 6.7476 yuan for S$1, was labelled a SingStat monthly average; it is MAS’s weekly figure for 18 June 1993, and the page now says so. The whole-record row in “Is today’s rate good?” now counts working days from 2003 only, so it no longer mixes weekly and daily figures. SGD to CNY
SGD to INR: the summary and search description said the page had every day since 2008. MAS’s daily rupee rate begins on 3 January 2006, and the page now says so. A record date read “In 3 January”; it now reads “On”. SGD to INR
Currency pages: some large converted amounts were a cent off: RMB 1,000,000 showed S$192,000.01, not S$192,000.00. The yen, yuan, rupee, rupiah, euro and baht pages now work from the rate exactly as the central bank published it. Exchange rates
Exchange rates hub: the search description said the history went back to 1988; the US dollar and baht records go back to 1981. The year now comes from the data, so it stays right. Exchange rates
Electricity tariff: the answer on this page and on the Prices hub compared this quarter’s 31.16¢ with GST against last quarter’s 31.91¢ before GST, which made the fall look like 0.75¢. With GST it fell from 34.78¢, or 3.62¢. The top card showed the before-GST change, 3.32¢, beside the with-GST price; it now shows 3.62¢. The tariffs and bills were right. Electricity tariff
Prices hub: the quick answers for UOB’s gold price and Mustafa’s gold rate repeated the general gold answer. Each now gives its own. Mustafa’s old rate was still called “today” in its search description and on the hub card; both now drop the word until a fresh read comes in. Prices
Petrol prices: the list of price changes said it went back to December 2015 and the page promised every change since 2015. The list starts in March 2023. The chart and CSV of prices do go back to 2015, and neither was wrong. Petrol prices
Savings Bond calculator: the note under the check said the first payment covers only part of six months, with a blank where the days should be, for a bond issued on the 1st. That first payment is a full six months. The payment itself was right. Savings Bond calculator
Fixed deposits: banks whose pages we can’t read were tagged “check by hand” and counted as checked by hand, though we show no rate for them. They now say “not read”, and the count separates them. Where to put your cash: it said deposits often renew at a lower board rate; that depends on each bank’s terms, so it now says to check them. Fixed deposit rates
CPF retirement sums: the $10,000 table showed the Savings Bond at 2.41%, the plain average of its yearly rates. It now shows MAS’s own average if held 10 years, 2.39%, as our inflation page does. CPF retirement sums
CPF interest rates: the next-quarter box said 11 of the 12 months were in, and the 3.19% was “so far”. All 12 months were in by the end of October, so that figure is final. Our method note also said the 12 months end 3 months before the quarter starts; they end 2 months before. The sums and CPF’s published rates were right. CPF interest rates
CPF contribution rates: the lists headed “every change” and “changes” counted years where CPF’s dataset repeats a row and nothing moved. The rates and ceilings were right. Both lists now leave out the repeats, and the note says which rate the “55 and below” column shows. CPF contribution rates
Mustafa gold rates: when Mustafa’s website stopped answering on 6 Nov, the page still called the 5 Nov rate “today” and said it had been checked against Mustafa. The rate and its read time were right. The page now says when a rate is old. Mustafa gold rates
Rates hub: the quick answers for UOB, OCBC, Maybank and DBS said their fixed deposit rates weren’t available. The rates on each bank’s page were right; the hub was failing to read them. It now shows them. Rates hub
Chocolate Finance and money market funds: a coding slip stopped the headline figure and the amount buttons from updating after you changed your amount. The worked result below them stayed right. Fixed. See the page
Company record, Outside mentions: the Wikipedia article The One Thing (book) was listed as a site that cites Gracious Quotes. Wikipedia’s edit history shows Jeremiah Say added that citation himself on 5 March 2020, so it is not an outside mention; it is now named under the table as our own addition. Product Watch’s awards for Toggle9 brought up to date (#2 of the Week, #3 of the Month). See Outside mentions
Corrected: on our SGD to INR page, under “Is today’s rate good?”, the sentence on changing rupees into S$ said your rupees bought fewer S$ today than on a share of days, but gave the share of days on which they bought fewer S$ than today, the opposite. It now gives the right share. The table beside it and the figures for changing S$ into rupees were right. See SGD to INR
Corrected: on our SGD to CNY page, under “Is today’s rate good?”, the sentence on changing yuan into S$ said your yuan bought fewer S$ today than on a share of days, but gave the share of days on which they bought fewer S$ than today, the opposite. It now gives the right share. The table beside it and the figures for changing S$ into yuan were right. See SGD to CNY
Corrected: on our SGD to JPY page, under “Is today’s rate good?”, the sentence on changing yen into S$ said your yen bought fewer S$ today than on a share of days, but gave the share of days on which they bought fewer S$ than today, the opposite. It now gives the right share. The table beside it and the figures for changing S$ into yen were right. See SGD to JPY
Corrected: our UOB page said UOB’s 6-month fresh-funds promotion “pays 1.60% today” on 1 Nov, after the promotion ended on 31 Oct (UOB’s page still lists it, but its terms end on that date). The page now shows that there is no promotion today and gives the last rate on record. The rankings on the main fixed deposit page had already left the ended promotion out. See UOB fixed deposit rates

What counts as a correction
- A number that did not match its source at the time we showed it.
- A calculator result that did not follow the official rules.
- A statement of fact that was wrong.
Routine updates, when a source publishes a new number, are not corrections. They are logged on each tracker’s page and on What’s new.
