If you are on the exclusive 3.8% promo, you will only receive base interest of 0.05% end Dec. The rest of the exclusive bonus of 3.75% will received by 20th Jan. This is my understanding.
Oh, yes I am but is that just starting this month? As I used to have two batches.

they like logged people out don't allow customer to login based off their fake fraud measures. use biometrics, how many 'fraud' cases do they have daily? third time already. somemore, not much inside, forced people for what.

if rates not inline with others, so be it, why must force cannot transfer out? worse than cefi.

their 3.8% pa interest promo does not even last 1 annum?

scb is what kind of shameless bank?
it does last 1 annum or maybe even forever, but you have to play merry go round. every 2 months withdraw out to another bank and 2 months later come back again .

thats the downside for not having to lock up your monies.

I guess that is the meaning of promotion. The promotion of some banks also does not last 1 annum.

Based on their website, the promotion is only for 2 months (01 Dec 2022 to 31 Jan 2023) as of now.

The 3.8% p.a. interest promotion (not invite) stated on their website is for 2 months (01 Dec 2022 to 31 Jan 2023).

Looking for some advise :
Currently I have a few account with scb
1)bonus saver account
2)online trading account
3)foreign currency settlement account

I intended to close (1) due to limit to maintains minimum 3k SGD to avoid fall below fees of $5 every month.

After calling with the consumer service I was told if I closed (1), the (3) will be close as well. Which I would like to avoid it because I might use it for my trading account (2).

If there is any way to avoid the fall below charge? Possible with different types of account instead of e saver?
