SINGAPORE'S biggest mortgage player DBS is still not going down the well-trodden path of actively offering home loans linked to the Singapore interbank offered rate (Sibor) - though the fall in Sibor could lure customers away from its flagship product, which is tied to the bank's fixed deposit rates.
