Hi MrCoconut, beri stupid idiot, EEXOOO

This is not an issue, because all the banks have different transaction descriptions for salaries received via Giro.

For DBS, its SAL
For POSB, its PAY
For OCBC, its Giro - Salary

Hi,

I did not manage to the bonus interest for salary crediting. When I call the hotline to check the reason, the reason provided is that my company had credited my salary into the OCBC 360 account using GIRO-IBG. The customer service exec mentioned that the only way I can get the interest is for me to call my HR to change the code to GIRO-FAL or IBG-SALARY. I replied that this is how my company do the salary crediting, how will they change this for 1 out of XXXXX employees???

In addition, I asked if she is able to give me the bonus interest for this month since my salary is already credited but the answer is still a flat no.

Can you please clarify if this is really the case?

Seriously, I am quite disappointed. If the OCBC 360 account really cannot accept the my salary crediting with the GIRO-IBG code, I am just going to close this acct and call it quits....

There seem to be no way to get 6% for SP Services. You can pay by any CC at their CSCs, but that will not be an online txn. Also you have to make a trip costing time and money. The best hassle-free option is recurring payment via POSB Everyday CC earning 1% rebate.

now that you mentioned, i also just realized each individual bonus interest is 20 times of my base interest...

1% / 0.05% = 20

i managed to calculate the base interest exactly as they gave, but using the same method can't seem to get the bonus interest calculation.. so could be we are getting lower.. infact, mine was like 32 cents lower..

anyway, i'm contended with what I am getting now

How did you count your base interest?

Well perhaps you can use Flashpay to pay partial at 7-11? Need to make a few trips if your bill >$50

You are fighting almost impossible battle here and the other high paying interest cant match ocbc360, even when you only meet the other two requirements (DBS multiplier requirement to get 2% is way higher).

Nevertheless... Good luck!

Why got so many codes one? Mine is GIRO-SALARY. Anyone got any idea what does each of the code means and the differences?

Anyway bro, no point closing as OCBC has the highest interest rate. 2% can also give you $100 pocket a month. No point getting angry and lose the $100.

I think OCBC should be flexible as well. My salary is transferred as MEPS.

As read from the website, the nets flashpay is for top up. Not sure if payment via flashpay can be carried out. Anyone tried before?
