Wow so much capital.. $200k $400k.. If me, I would use half to grab SMRT shares.. Sharing opportunity to get 2.8% for 2 to 3 months (per annum calc is 11.2% to 16.8%) rather than parking in esaver for 1.55% per annum.. Buy SMRT shares @ $1.63 current price, Temasek plan to privatise by buying all shares they are not already have at $1.68 in Sept/Oct.. Arbitrage profit 5c per share or around 2.8% after paying brookerage commission.. Check in Stock subforum under SMRT for details.. Caveat: this is just my own opinion, do your own due diligence..

Wow. That is close to $400k. My interest was $210 only.

If temasek din get smrt delisted, the price will drop and it will not be anywhere near $1.6x. If it is a done deal, where got chance to see the price trade around current price. Where got meat left for retail investors?

Interest in on 30/7. So interest in 31/7 counted or not? If yes does it gets rate of 1.65 or new rate in August?

anyone has idea of the following? lets say i have 2 esaver acct and 1 has $200k while the other has zero..if i draw out everything to 3rd party bank and re-issue cheque back to other esaver account with ADB zero, will this be considered fresh fund and eligible for bonus interest?

i spoke to cso and they say its not eligble based on T n C "you must deposit fresh funds into your Qualifying Account(s) during the Promotion Period. For the purposes of these terms and conditions, "fresh
funds" are funds that do not originate from any existing account with the Bank or funds that are not withdrawn and re-deposited within 30 days of
the Promotion Period;
"

anyway i checked the new rates for SCB remains at 0.2% + 1.45% for Aug and Sep

cso and rm will quote from tnc. but the actual calculating department had their old way of doing things.

for cheque i dunno for sure. but i fast out from one account, and from third party bank, i fast in to another account. so far ok. i presume that the same principle works for cheque, if your cheque is not scb.
