Any idea from the past months when will sc announce the new month interest rate? I got shocked by rhb previously when they did not announce anything even on the last day of the month. Haha..
Well, all good things gotta end somewhere.

i didn't upgrade my IOS SCB Mobile... am still on old version.

i heard the new version is really lousy so I didn't upgrade
For iOS can don't upgrade and still use? Android confirm cannot which is why I need to change phone. POSB just keep nagging but still let you login

Has anyone on the Exclusive 3.8% p.a. promo till 30th June, received any notification of changes to their interest rate since we know there is a 4.0% p.a. promo on-going?

I was of the understanding that any improvements in the rate will automatically apply to 'old' promos.

no leh.. I think the 4% promo is for invited customers also, so it doesn't apply to those who're not invited.

only if it applies to all customers then it'll auto-apply to 'older' promos.

p.s. I also didn't get invited for the 4% but I'm on 3.8% till June :o

I am on 3.8% invited but up to end May only, think even there's extended invite will probably have to wait when its near to the end date.

Maybank iSavvy also until Apr only. So you need hope both banks instead after Apr haha
I need to hop my funds to another bank if SCB never extend promo.

I guess rates will be lower at 3.2% to 3.5% after April but still good enough

I am hoping HSBC EGA continue the promotion next month. I am currently in the last month of the cycle and keeping a very low balance in the account.

OCBC 360 is a good choice if you have only 100k to manage, you get 4% EIR on 100k without CC spend with salary credit and just increase your balance by $500 each month.

Hi if u don’t mind May I ask how it works?

I in the EGA for Jan to April.. when can/should I take out all funds to cause a low balance and baseline amount for the next cycle? Thanks

Apr will be the base for the 4 months cycle of May-Aug, provided HSBC extends this promotion.
So it would be good to very low or close to min balance for Apr.

But if the previous cycle ends on Apr, most likely the bulk amount would still be there in the whole of Apr to earn the bonus. So to participate for the next cycle in May, either use another HSBC acct or if still using the same acct then will need to withdraw left 2K and deposit the remaining bulk to another bank promo for the mth of May so that the reference month is the low 2K for May and then trf back the bulk back in Jun. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Agree, this approach is also fine.

Same. But with the everyday+ 1%, I think it will cross 4%.

iOS actually SCB Mobile doesn't force you to update.

If you don't click on Learn More or don't go App Store to manually find the update, you can still use the older version which I am still.
