I think you can take out both base and bonus interest any day the month as long as it's not above the 2 interest

Sure, just withdraw the interest earned before last day of the month.

The interest is still around 2.5. Not bad.

Need some advice on withdrawing the bonus and normal interest. I'm already at my 12th counter and have hit the limit a few months ago.

I noticed that my interest is always credited on the last day of the month, as long as it don't fall on a Sunday. The interest for August was credited yesterday on 31st Aug.

So do i withdraw on the first of the month or on the last day of the month so that I do not affect the counter.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

You can withdraw the both of your interest any day of the month as long as same or lower then the 2 interests. Any withdrawal of higher than both interests cause your counter to drop to 6.. It is better to start withdrawing after reaching 150k, the interest above it is small.

For example the value date of the latest interest is 31 Aug, so we can withdraw the interest any date from 1 September to 30 September? Or to be safe 29 September since next interest should be credited on 30 September?

Any date is fine. As long as the lowest amount in the account for Sep not lower than the lowest amount in the account for Aug

Any time before the next credit of interest earned

Thanks for replying. I noticed that my combined interests over the past 4 months were consistently above $310.

So if I were to set up a standing instruction to transfer $290 out on (e.g. 1st of every month), and expect interest crediting consistently above $300 monthly, then theoretically I'm not going below the lowest balance of the month and my counter will not be effected.

Is my interpretation correct? It also means I can setup the standing instruction also on every 28th of the month to account for February?

Do you think SIBOR will remain constant, or that it will never fall?

The only confirmed known value is the bonus interest; which if you have 12 counters, will be 1.2%p.a. of the lowest balance from the previous month based on the number of days of that month. You won't go wrong if you setup a standing instruction to withdraw that amount every month.

Anything more than that, and there is a chance the amount withdrawn could be more than the amount credited; thus causing your counter to fall.

As for SIBOR, the lowest ever recorded level for 1-mth SIBOR was 0.18% back in 2011... Just food for thought.
