BOC SmartSaver

If want to use normal lor fast fund transfer, do we need the 6500?

I had tested with the full account no. including 6500 from DBS/ Maybank / OCBC to BOC.

You can test FAST account setup with $1 before transfering huge amount.

I always test with $1 too for every new payee set up

I paid BOC credit cards as bill payment. They did not exclude this right?

Btw anyone figured out how to use the scheduled bill payment? Not sure if it means recurring payment.

Noticed that transfer from scb will not be via FAST. There is no FAST option there if you noticed. If you need to have the funds in on the same day you open the account, for me I do scb to ocbc then boc, ocbc to BOC is via FAST and immediate.

Hmm, I have the same concerns as you guys, it's good that you guys are talking it out. Save me the backlash too.

I initially thought that having 2 thread is fine too so will keep it as that.

pcmdan, I understand your concerns.
Having 2 same threads for 2 different type of crowd in 2 different forum is best to maintain traffic.
I do note that most CC crowd are different from MM's crowd.
If I merge the threads, people in CC section will likely open another one since there is indeed a CC component to it. That is also why there is a 360 one.

Do express your opinions using a new thread(perhaps with voting options?), if any of you like to, as long as it's done peacefully so as not to OT.
Thank.

I will try to read them and if need be, consult senior mod/admin for final decisions.

just giving my 1 cent suggestion when I see the similarity in the thread topic. Just to add abit more:

anyway, just because 360 no one suggested the change, doesnt mean it is a good precedence. Till now, I still cant comprehend why one have to keep using 360 as an example. Of course, up to every individual. If I have a say, I would have merge both. Since what attracted the crowd is the TOPIC, not where it is located. If I want to find a thread on 360, do you think one would care where it is situated? Whereas, if you have 2 similar name threads in different location, which should I be reading if I am a new user?

Sorry to say, but it sends a wrong signal. The signal is clear. People who hate going thru MM and CC can also open one at EDWM or anywhere you deem fit. Since EDWM definitely have different type of crowd and the post is in a "truly" different forum. The crowd is definitely different from MM and CC crowd.

My stance is, if CC is a subset of MM, why should we have both. Anyway, since the moderator is taking the stance of Allen, I think I rest my case. Since it has digress away from the intention of the TS when he started the thread.

Nevertheless, I am just a small member in this forum. My words do not carry any weight. Fine with me, if the moderators feels that having 2 thread when they are almost in the same location helps to maintain traffic.
BTW, last post from me from any merging talk and stuff. Since moderator has decided against it, by trying to get my intention across wont change anything.

Your words do carry weight, just as any member.
hyperbole+chopra+pcmdan carries even more weight.

I will put you guys' request up to admin/senior mod.
The decision might take some time and would be final.
Hope that would be good enough for everyone here.

Actually not really a big deal la. I subscribed to both so I can keep myself updated.

But cc is a sub section of mm I dunno why there should be so many threads. I dunno how different the crowd is cos I visit all mm sections.

Yeah firefox works the best. Only internet explorer and firefox can be used BUT Firefox is the best

I wrote to SCB asking why fast is not enabled for BOC and they replied with the list of banks supposedly fast enabled. Doh. Stoopid.

I scolded them saying BOC has enabled fast since sep and listed all the banks that can perform fast to BOC. Let's see what they say

I called the Customer Service Hotline and was told to remove 6500 from the account no. for SAL Giro.

Anyone with BOC and OCBC 360 & Bonus Plus intending to do the following (provided your company is having a self help system to update account no) ?


Dec - BOC (With SAL) (60K) - 3.55% / Empty OCBC 360 / Remaining funds go Bonus Plus - 2.35%

Jan - BOC - 2.55% / OCBC 360 (With SAL) (60k) - 3.25%

I called and nobody asked me to remove 6500 for giro leh!

I even said I'm making giro application what is the bank and branch code? After that I asked so I just put my account number starting with 6500? She said yes!

No recurring as far as I can tell. It's just post dated.

Anyone knows how to make scheduled fund transfer? Got a section to list down all the fund transfers but when I went to the page to make the transfer no such option.

 

[jackieatbtu]

Thanks for all the replies on the interests. I do have 2x 60k. Guess my math fails. That's why I need figuring out the best combo. I don't plan to open uob one account. Previous suggestion mentioned mix with one account.
Will be opening boc later and testing out the system first. My hr say can credit salary to boc.

 

[cReDdY]

thanks guys fire fox work for me too. after 2 hours of figuring out

 

[OngHuatHuat]

[EEXOOO]

[cReDdY]
