How does this work?
There is a thread for this HSBC stuff a super long thread and you need to fulfill a few criteria. I read the thread sometimes you thought you finish all criteria but still not get the interest so you need to chase the bank. This is what I don't like. Like a beggar go beg monies from bank why I do all you ask you never give me my interest. But for some ppl the high interest justify the effort so you can go and take a look at that thread.

Then too much hassle imo. Too complicated is a problem.

Can you tell me how you arrive at 1.68%?

https://www.cimb.com.sg/en/personal...vings-accounts/cimb-junior-saver-account.html
5000 0.60 = 30
20,000 0.80 = 160
25,000 1.00% = 250

30 + 160 + 250 = 440
440 / 50000 = 0.88% <- this is the rate isn't it?

The new rates with effect from 1 Sep:

https://www.cimb.com.sg/en/personal.../revision-of-interest-profit-rates-sep22.html
Account BalanceInterest (p.a.)
First $5,0001.20%
Next $20,0001.40%
Next $25,0002.00%
Above $50,0000.80%

Wow CIMB Fast Saver is attractive! Thanks for the info.

Lousy local banks.
Some reader told me it is not local banks are lousy it is because they got a lot of cash so no need to take more cash from us. They more interested to loan monies out to ppl for business, property etc instead. So solution is very simple you just take your cash and give other foreign banks instead.
