You need to have huge stockpiles of cash (>250k) to really take advantage of the higher-tier interest rates offered by Starsaver.

I'm guessing most people in that situation would likely have better investment options.

For 75k, fastsaver is still better at 2.5%. For starsaver you need at least 500k to reach 2.5% and higher.

wow so weird has 2 different rates. how i know when i opened the account

 

[silverbomb]

does CIMB inform us when they have activated the account successfully after the $1k deposit, and thru what manner? Email? SMS?

I thought there are many cash rich folks in the RHB accounts with >400k. Haha…

how long u wait between the transfer of 1k and activation code?

2hrs

is there a lock in period for the 1k? was a existing credit card customer so i already had the ibanking login, signed up yesterday and received email with my account number and 1k initial top up instruction.

tried to FAST the money out using iBanking (digitial token alr set up) but keeps failing.

same day using paynow out no problem

How would that work when you wouldn’t even be able to login to ibanking to set up paynow lol.

I suggest you call up the bank to find out why you couldn’t transfer funds out. I didn’t have any issue transferring out once my account got activated

I also just found out that my acct was not activated when I try to transfer $ out, after 1 mth. Even though interest was credited into the acct on 31 Oct, apparently my acct was not activated. The whole of Oct nobody from the bank contacted me to follow up on the acct activation until now that I have to transfer $ then I found out after calling the bank.

Mine also went so smooth and promptly until I can't recall anything about the whole process now.

What's the minimum amount we need to put in to prevent it from being closed?
