Standchart eSaver

Below is the exact wordings from the t&cs:

https://av.sc.com/sg/content/docs/sg-esaver-account-tnc.pdf

4. “Customers with wealth holdings” are defined as customers who hold either an Eligible Investment Product or Insurance Product purchased through the bank. An “Eligible Investment Product” refers to (i) Unit Trust(s), (ii) Bonds, (iii) Structured Notes, or (iv) Equities.

5. Your eligible Bonus Interest Rate is assessed based on your wealth holdings at the end of each calendar month during the promotion period.


It is clear that you can buy once & just hold it, OR buy/sell multiple times but always ensure there is something remaining at each month-end.

yes but the issue what kind of "equities" they are referring to. could be only those product type and not normal shares from scb trading platform.

Any equities which you can find & trade using the Standard Chartered Online Trading Platform should be valid - there are several stock exchanges listed. Refer to SC website: https://www.sc.com/sg/wealth/investment/online-trading/

If you want something simple without added foreign currency risks, maybe just buy minimum 100 shares of a cheap local Singapore share or REITs or ETF - denominated in S$ & listed on Singapore Stock Exchange (SGX).

I do agree.
and anyway the Wealth Holding is only evaluated at the end of the Calendar month so there's time to handle, we are only the 1st of the month LoL

June buy 1 share of AAPL then sell
July buy 1 share of AAPL then sell
Why AAPL? Cos saferest dun have a lot of fluctuation unlike the others

Should just buy one of the cheapest stocks. Maybe NIO at $3.54.

(Be warned that non-Priority has minimum commission of $10 USD though.)

Ya then you end up clocking USD 20 in brokerage charge per month, negating any extra interest earned

(Unless you are Priority Banking customer)

where do you see $20 brokerage charge per month?

 

[JetStorm]

take note

The Bonus Interest shall be credited to your Qualifying Account(s) in single or multiple credit transactions by the 25th calendar date of the following month (the “Bonus Interest Crediting Date”)

Naise.... seems these are the best rates by far

 

[Imhthc]

For isavvy 2.8%, is this part of the April to June 2025 incremental promo period? Meaning if I open the acct this month assuming I do not have an acct with them prior, i will have to succumb to their new promo rate next month.

Next month iSavvy rates confirm will decrease one. Just a matter of by how much. My guess that the Jul to Sep rates will be around the 1.9% to 2.1% mark.

If that is the case, it will be just opening the acct to enjoy June promo and then keep $500 to maintain the acct and look at elsewhere to park.
