Can see the MOVING SIBOR RATE on Citi Website for rough estimation. Should be around 2.45% ~ 2.47% with Max Counter.

it is not a bad place to park the 150K at 2.4%. However, cannot withdraw is the shame.

that why u need to split your fund into 2 location at least

1) One saving that u try not to touch

2) The other like in FD or SSD in which u can use in case of emergency fund needed.

i see alot ppl here say interest can be withdrawn without affecting the counter, can anyone share how it works? so if interest is $300, i just withdraw $299?

[foxer77]

think need to withdraw on the day when the interest is credit.

If interest is $300, then withdraw exact $300 or lower. Withdraw anything more will result the Counter to drop.

To Increase Counter / Maintain at Counter 12, the lowest balance in your MaxiGain account in a month is equal to or greater than the lowest balance in the previous month.

Just follow the rule.

thx for clarifying, initially i thought is based on average monthly balance. This means i need to start withdrawing when it hit $150K+, otherwise by the time it compound to $200k too late already

Yes. If you parked 150K, every month best to withdraw the interest and move it to other account to earn better interest

Just remember the golden rule for Increasing / Maintaining Counter when you doing withdrawal.

A Base Interest Rate of 0.05% p.a. shall apply to balances in your MaxiGain account in excess of S$150,000.

Bonus Interest capped at S$150,000.

Yes, that's what i did. I leave S$1 for a peace of mind.

So every month, my balance increase by S$1

wrong...

if you are counter 12 and the sibor remains and the total interest is still at around 2.4%

even if you withdraw, you only lose 0.6% of interest (6 counters), so you still getting 1.8%. It is still a better deal compared to some fixed deposits where you have to forfeit the interest completely.

Just to confirm you guys, I withdraw the interest fully each month leaving tha same balance inside. Not affecting the counter, maintain at max.

[shpesft]

Yes. Just withdraw the interest each month.

Btw after attaining counter 12, you still need to maintain the lowest monthly balance to be equal or more than that of previous month to keep counter at 12, if not it will drop to 6. If other banks are more attractive why not switch over as soon as possible?
