Reminder if still want to be their customer your phone must be android 9 above else monies trapped inside cannot take out. Even online also cannot as it refer to app to authenticate.

Don't think that's a major consideration for most though? A budget new phone goes for under 300 these days and they most certainly have android 11 at least.

Better to upgrade our mobile phones every 3-4 years or so for better security updates since we do alot of transactions via mobile phones.

Anyway, my previous samsung S11 only lasted 2.5years lol

i think you can withdraw over the counter for $5 fee. Alternatively, can transfer via ATM

Getting the flagship, assuming the hardware holds up and the battery life remains decent is one of the best bet, since Samsung at least provides software update for 3 years, and security updates for 4 years. This is almost unheard of (except for Apple) previously.

Good direction to reduce premature ewaste.

For working ppl ok but what if you are retired no more monthly salary? That means in your yearly spending need allocate some monies to buy new phone. I already update this item in my list when DBS and even RHB send email out. CIMB need android 8 now

Get a basic iPhone SE, they’ll easily be supported for 5 years and more. Alternatively buy a rubbish budget Android phone every 3 years, ~$150 for the lowest end Samsung A0* series.

Budget it as part of living expenses for "digital" living if not could always revert back to branch banking.

A budget android phone costs around 300 and lasts around 3-4 years. That's a monthly depreciation of 9 bucks (assuming 3 years). Imho that's entirely reasonable.

A round trip to a bank would probably cost you more each month

That is what I say in my earlier post. Besides monthly groceries etc need to budget for this item once a year. Dunno when bank happy next release jump 2-3 versions ahead. So best get cheap phones but cheap phone cannot beat bank hardware token about $20 can replace. But some banks phase out hardware token liao

Option 2 would be to only bank with banks that offer hardware token then.

What is the cap is it 5 million?

 

[bargin]

$100k above to enjoy 4.20% p.a. ?

 

[hwarzoner]

As long as at least 100k or 1m, i get 4.2% on that 100k and 1million

 

[sgreview]

Hopefully SCB can send invitations to previous batches soon, coz 3.8% not enticing enough for me to move back. 4.2% may be a good start
