BOC SmartSaver

Hi,

I have just login the internet banking and change login name and password. There's this option call "Global service", not sure what is this about, what does it do? Need to register?

Still playing around with the online portal. hehe

Find out more here http://pic.bankofchina.com/bocappd/singapore/201610/P020161014713615820401.pdf

Global service not relevant unless you have boc account in another country.

Can't confirm if max is real 50k+50k cause don't have so much to transfer but confirm can transfer more than 50k using two platforms

Just found out they indeed changed the limit to 50k mobile banking+50k ibanking = 100k

the hospital bill one is most tricky..
i visit KKH quite regular, like not all entitled..

U pay at pharmacy, the specialist counters, A&E and also pre-natal check.. all put different names on the BOC statement.. so really hard to identify which one has, and which one doesnt...


Question for all, online purchase 5%, so now pay Telco bill only got 5% or 1% ??
currently i giro my telco to cc, if its consider online then i cancel giro liao. haha

You can call in and ask which ones counted for 5%.

Giro definitely not considered online

This seems to be the highest rate out in the market so far.. tempted to switch from OCBC, how's the ibanking platform ?

iBanking platform is definitely not as good as OCBC's. Many users reported difficulty using it.

I would say it takes awhile to get used to and it will be a breeze.

As for BOC rates, do ensure you read the revised terms at;

Think there is an early termination fee

$1500. I just opened the account for two months. Thinking of closing it with the new conditions now.

 

[lewissac]

Think there is an early termination fee

Yup, there is:

Early Account Closure Fee = S$30 (If account is closed within the first 6 months)

http://pic.bankofchina.com/bocappd/singapore/201606/P020160630574930376736.pdf

If you can make use of the interest gained to offset the early termination fee, that should be okay.

FAST transfer?

I am trying to transfer funds out of my BOC account and I only see MEPS option and no FAST option. Do I need to put in a request to BOC?

Hope someone can help, thanks.

Whats your payee bank? SCB?

If you see other payee should be able to select FAST. chk SGSG if SCB.

Its better already.

In early 2016, Ib supports IE with activeX plugin only. UI's cache effect.

Thanks to nice blogger who introduced me to e acct.

Yes, payee is SCB. Only SCB has this problem?
