does the bank release the funds almost immediately after you called in and answer those questions?
You will need to initiate the transfer again after 5mins from call ending, valid for 24hours, within this time you can transfer any amount. Any longer will have risk of restriction again.

I will be moving my funds out after this month, tired of listening and answering the questions every week.

My experience with less than 50% of withdrawal from ega with $100k was ok.

I encountered issue with DBS this week instead. Didn’t allow me to do $200k: then I split it up- first $100k out ok, second $100k on hold for 24 hours and then released (even though it amounted to less than 50% of funds).

Call in doesn't work for me at all. Cos the cs doesn't know anything. She only ask me wait for fraud team to call me as the block is picked up by the system and fraud team is the only one who is able to unblock.

how long does it take from the point transfer was blocked to the point of release?
how long did it take before the fraud team called back? No number to call back but wait out?
Was the amount greater than 50% in the account?

I transfer 1k less than 50% mark but was blocked. After I call cs I still need to wait like an hour or 2 for the fraud team to call me. It is really up to the team how busy they are to call back. There's nothing I could do but to wait.

The last 2 or 3 times, the local CS has been able to process for me. How they handle the backend I don't know, but I didn't have to wait for the India fraud team to call me.

Mine was quite a while back. Maybe they change their way of doing things.

On a lighter note. I put in 40k over this month. Transfer in out no issue. So this account is only good for me to keep less than 50k there :)

has it always been 3-months running? if I participated in the Nov promo, am I eligible for Jan's promo?
Did you keep the tnc for nov25? If you sms registered in nov. Nov promo should be 2mths only nov n dec. You can sms participate in jan but do note reference month incremental balance for jan is based on dec balance. So if you have funds in dec, might not be worth it. You can double check with cs to confirm you were registered for nov promo which is nov and dec 2mths only.
