BOC SmartSaver

[EEXOOO]

I saw UOB One and 360 account here, and I guess this is for guys who often come here and seldom come to Moneymind as myself.

Your thread here made me aware of this account so thanks for sharing!

need to bring cash for opening account? or can deposit at later time?

 

[doverrover]

Don't quite understand this MCS account.

Does it mean that I can put something like USD500, RM1000, 3000Yen and SGD200 into this account?

How about withdrawal? I will need to go to the counter if I want to withdraw in a particular currency or go to the atm to withdraw SGD after converting with the current forex rate?

if no card spend and salary credit but only 3 payments
pure saving of $5000 and abv (0.6+0.275=0.875)
is better than cimb right (0.8)?

 

[naro]

Okay. I am on board today. Very happy for what I heard.

I can deposit and withdrawn RMB without fee over the counter. So I don't have to keep rmb hard cash at home and still earn interest.

There is a free luggage promotion for card n credit line with no spending required.
