2.7% lah .... 2.2% is dropped by half a percentage point from the previous offer, likely to have few takers.

Definitely last longer as not attractive. Was expecting it to be better because it is supposed to be some kind of anniversary launch.

For 3 years lockup, 2.2% not attractive enough. Rather go for SSB (Aug 3 year av 2.1%, 10 year av 2.57. Sep should be lower) or 1.85% FD. Anyway I bought GE205 and GE270. So this rate not enough to make me buy more GE.

Cannot say until 1 August when they announce, although Maybank has already announced rates up to the end of the year:

Fresh Funds Deposit (S$)
30,000 to < 50,000 1.25% pa
50,000 to < 200,000 1.33% pa
200,000 to 3mil 1.45% pa

Bonus interest/dividend is awarded on the incremental average daily balance in the Account during the Promotion Period against the average daily balance in June 2018.

But he already in esaver in July so need to move out somewhere in Aug unless have another esaver.

I still feel that ICBC step up FD can consider. 3 mths 1.5%....12 mths effective rate about 1.8%. Interest paid quarterly.

Wa this seems better than SCB cos SCB 3mths only right?

If we open a new acct now and just do 1 time transfer of 30k and park til 31 dec, we get 1.25% on 30k for 6 mths?!

And no need to search for new parking acct every 3 mths...

Yes. But note that Maybank used to be 3 mths change. Only this latest one stretch 6 mths. But good to open one.

For those who had FD with CIMB. Now 3 Mth is 1.4%. Rate for 6 Mth and 12 month remains.
But at CIMB, 3M at 1.4% .... so the 6M at CIMB should be even more than 1.4%. Yet at MB, your 6M yields 1.25% only.
Unless there's something that I'd overlooked .... please advise.

Those who goes for Maybank or esaver instead of FD wants flexibility in that you can withdraw at anytime, in part or full. Difference in absolute dollars not much. Eg for 30k, difference is only $22.50 for 6 mths (1.4% vs 1.25%).
