CIMB FastSaver

[sibeiTrolled]

sorry to interrupt, but the tnc for this salary crediting promo... a bit weird right?

the promo is "from 1 July 2026 to 31 December 2026" but the transaction months shown on the table (para 8) are for the months of Jan to Jun 2026

Found an archived Jan - Jul version of it

Seems like CIMB just reused the same document and extended the relevant dates

... can't imagine a bank that established to be so lazy not to update or proofread their public-facing documents and we're already in October. none of their staff discovered after so many months, or they're just bochup?

Well, as long as the customer can reap the benefits of those promos, i don't think most people care

But ya, abit lacking in this department

CIMB most optimal amount is $75k correct?

But the tncs for Aug'26 say 31 Oct'26 pay BI for Aug'26

So the old promo only 2 mths of bonus interest, current promo covers 3 months of promo interest am I right? I started in Sept, was that a 2 mth or 3 mth promo?

Fastsaver Sept promo was 2m (Sep-Oct) need to see the comparison month , since u alr participate in (Sep -Oct) , u wont qualify for (Oct -Nov -Dec). So can withdraw your funds to other savings a/c next month , like Maybank etc.
Or can also move between cimb fastsaver and cimb starsaver though I havent personally try this.
But Maybank 2% is fuss free as long as you maintain minimum 20k daily

Dunno what u mean by 2 mths, the tncs u see is specifically for 1 mth of Aug'26

The tnc from archive.org that you linked covers August and September as the bonus earning period with reference month July.

Actually Maybank also got reference month ADB for comparison. Fuss free I would change phrase to calculation easier.

CIMB offer more flexibility since they count each day balance. That day no 10k no bonus only base. That day got 10k got bonus and base. And last day of month need 10k. So calculation messier for whole month since is day by day count. You want to track need a gsheet excel etc. Since messier ideally bonus should give earlier so any discrepancies you found can flag earlier. By pushing to end of promo about 2,3 months later who got time go tally as you are focused on the current promo already.

Your bonus interest on 30 Sept doesn't make sense for a Fast saver account

If you joined the Jul promo, your 26 Aug, 10.20 and 30 Sep 10.50 means that you only have 25k in CIMB
But your 100.50 paints a different picture.
Assuming you are a preferred customer, in order to get 100.50, this means that you have ~74k in your CIMB account.

But if you were a star saver customer, then the final 100.50 make sense, BUT the 10.20 and 10.50 base interest doesn't

So the question i would ask you is, are you a fastsaver or starsaver user?

EDIT -
Tsk, you didn't provide the full breakdown! C'mon.
the SI-CIMB is a different promo and NOT the CASA PROMO

So you DO have 74 or 75k in your CIMB and you participated in the SI promo

You should be getting the BASE INTEREST ~67 SGD at the end of Jul (31 Jul) and end of Aug (31 Aug) for the CASA PROMO

I hv between 75000 to 75500 on all the days of Jul and Aug

These are alr the days they credit me the interest so I dun understand wat u mean by full breakdown coz I find the percentage seems to tally with my deposit amount (although seems a bit slightly lesser )

I dun credit salary, I only did the SI-CIMB Giro top up $1001 deducted from DBS bank to CIMB FAST on the 1st of the month

I hv Starsaver but the Starsaver is not eligible for SI-CIMB so I dun use it

I duno wat is CASA Promo - is it referring to the SI-CIMB thing

31st Aug (for Aug) - 0.5% , 1.08% , 1.58%
