I have 2 members of my family (age 50-58) unable to buy Savvy 22 online .... not sure why, but it could be that they need to do a "profile update" with DBS using SingPass to ensure that they are legitimate Singapore Citizens?

Anyone with knowledge about such incidents?
Hmm just update? Not very controversial.
Are you guys seriously cracking head to save $5 per month?
Different strokes for different folks.

no point judge or question
If they are existing customers with a savings/SRS account, maybe they have not passed CKA or the bank might have imposed an extra layer of care even for the "senior junior".

Do a live chat with WPM (click on the link and scroll down, click on LIVE CHAT) to ask any questions you might have - only during certain days/hours, respond is faster.
What’s WPM ah?

i am very clear already, i know i confirm will get the catgeroy unlock mean confirm will get. no need to to advise and stir. thanks.
I note that you think you are clear.

I note there may also be others who thinks you are clear la.

but that itself is just satisfyingly the necessary but not sufficient condition to be clear to others.

not trying to advise or stir. Apologise if you have mistaken it to be that

Try going back, it brings you back to the main page instead of the previous page. Haven't seen such a badly designed UI since the early Web 2.0 era. Can't even find the recepient list for transfer unless you can remember what you saved it as.

folks,

I kena charged annual fee for the everyday+ card (which doubles up as my ATM card as well...)

upon successful fee waiver, will I still need to pay the fee first and then they will credit back next month (so end up the account has a nett balance?) or will they automatically deduct the amount payable?

I didn't use the card (as a credit card) at all, so now the outstanding amount is just the stupid annual fee ($192.60).

really regret merging the ATM card with the everyday+ card. every year need to deal with this stupid sh*t.

Yearly what i did is, after a few days they'll auto reverse back the fees upon successful waival request. You can see this in your app under unbilled transaction. Keep a lookout for that. My case usually all settled before the next due date so no hiccup for me.

For ATM card, just go Video Teller Machine request for any debit card eg. the black Debit Visa card or Passion debit card (you can request both too if you want) and link your ATM to it. It'll print a card for you on the spot. FOC. After that if eventually u want to cancel the POSB everyday card, you no need to worry no other card to use as ATM card.

Why is it everyday*

Depends on how soon your request. If early enough should just be deduct the amount payable
I didn't use the card (as a credit card) at all, so now the outstanding amount is just the stupid annual fee ($192.60).
Then why you get this if not for the cc?

Can always reverse it what

thanks for sharing your experience. I already submitted and received a successful waiver (at least DBS is instant when it comes to such). haven't seen it posted under 'Unbilled' yet but will wait a few days?

only thing I'm not sure about is that the current statement outstanding ($192.60) is due on 5 Oct. assuming they credit back the fees before 5 Oct, will I still have to pay the bill on 5 Oct or will the amount outstanding be nullified?

For ATM card, just go Video Teller Machine request for any debit card eg. the black Debit Visa card or Passion debit card (you can request both too if you want) and link your ATM to it. It'll print a card for you on the spot. FOC. After that if eventually u want to cancel the POSB everyday card, you no need to worry no other card to use as ATM card.

yes I should do this. thanks for the tip. no idea about this VTM. the debit card is free for life? or must do 12x transaction that kind of thingy to auto-waive?

anyway... apologies, I should have posted my query under the Credit Card sub-forum. a bit derailed from this thread. 🙏

software do have EOL. The developer of the software will not provide security updates/patches or support with prior notification of EOL. Also the end user (the company/corporate) may not be able to implement enhancements if such support is ended.

Sometimes the developer may allow the end user to sign an extended support agreement (usually with hefty premiuns) so most companies with IT resources will change out the software to a newer version or change supplier.

But I agree with you .... the lastest DBS UI for Funds Tranfer sucks.
