I understand that in the past the MaxiGain account was way better in terms of returns (Base interest is based on SIBOR rate), but the criteria was quite prohibitive for me to join, if you do not have 70k, you do not get the base (SIBOR rate) interest (not too sure if can get the step-up bonus interest if you have below 70k, correct me if I'm wrong because I did not pay much attention to this MaxiGain account as it was not suitable for me back then).

With effect from 1 October 2020, the new requirements is actually more suitable for me, as long as you can leave 15k inside for the TRB to prevent fall below fee, let the interest counter step-up progressively over 12 months to 0.61%. Hopefully the interest don't drop further. Assuming the interest rate of 12 counters stays at 0.61%, it will be better than CIMB FastSaver of 0.3%.

Different people have different uses for the wide variety of such deposit accounts products ba. Just like how some would prefer UOB One Account over OCBC 360, some prefer DBS Multiplier over UOB One etc...

RHB app has ridiculously stringent security requirements. It refuses to work with a lot of apps. I chose not to give up my favorite keyboard just to get additional ~$14 interest per month.

So you imagined Maxigain should already have 0 customer??

[Shutterfly]

Planning to close mine soon. So the step would be withdraw all then contact customer support to close it right?

There is endowus and stashaway. Both easily more than 1%++... Singlife 2%...
