Side track a bit. For that reader how can the banking software be wrong. Wonder if you work as software developer before. Software can run for years without error but one fine day cock up suddenly. I just kena in my workplace on a system I build for my employer. The error was traced to one of the data source that program read to process. Of cuz managers will horse back cannon why the software is not robust enough to handle etc.

Banks are big so they employ alot of QA and users to test but does that means 100% won't have error? They dare to sumpah 100%? Even MS release service pack etc

how can a bank using banking software be wrong? :)

1. Based interest is 0.05% - you use end of day balance everyday *0.05% and then sum it up
2. Bonus interest is based on ADB. You sum up the EOD for 31 days and then divide by 31. you multiply this by the BI rate % * 31/365. I assume you are on Exclusive Invite
3. Then sum #1 & #2
4. If you have very little transactions in your account, you can use ADB*(Base Rate % + BI Rate %)*31/365 for a quick calculation. This number should equal the total from #3.

SCB has been running the promo for so many years. Cannot be a their mistake bah :)
SCB do make mistakes :grin:

Do you know what is the mistake this time? :ROFLMAO:

I am on public promo, can tell! Only public promos know, invite still cannot tell lah, may not happen to you lah, if you know the root cause!

My game plan this mth, transfer all out to POSB for the next 4 mths! I should be safe, unless account can go -ve, or when my interest is credited end of this mth - sufficient to claw back! :ROFLMAO:

Who wants to know how to check with a simple formula! I always keep a mthly spreadsheet for multiple purposes!

I am ok to tell them their mistake :ROFLMAO:

I won't be so quick to call it a 'mistake' until I collect the remaining BI by 20th the month... and tally up, before confirming if the interests earned tally with the invitation rate.

so I would advise the rest to just keep quiet and wait... don't make so much noise.

I only know a few months ago I moved my money out after the promo ended. On the 1st of the next month SC gave me a 0.02 cent interest adjustment 🙄
I only kena this when I transferred out on the last day of the month which happened to be on a Sunday.

They are entitled to clawback, as stated in the tnc, when you try to game the system! :LOL:
yes, nothing wrong with it. i just transferred back the adjusted amount. but never encountered this when transferring out after 'promo period'.

i did encounter getting charged interest on my scb credit card even though i paid in full on time though. when i asked the live chat they just said they dunno why and reversed the charges.

I’m on the invited promo (3.55%) vs Aug/Sep (3.35%). First time on invited promo. The 0.20% interest is expected to be in by 20th? TIA.

not a guru but.. to answer your question the exclusive bonus interest will be in by 20th of the following month (so for Aug, by 20th of Sep).

Who inform them? Or their auditors found out! :ROFLMAO:

They will claw back 0.05% = base interest ! (my calculations)

I have zero balance, let me see if it will go -ve! :LOL:

(EDIT: Ok, I will be nice, transfer this amt back! ;))

got an sms saying that the interest was wrongly tabulated and adjustment / clawback will be made on 11 september

seems like it confirmed previous few comments on whether the august interest given was wrong and whether they will clawback
Ya. Same here.
Dear valued client, your e$aver bonus interest credited on 31 Aug was inaccurate. An adjustment will be made by 11 Sep. No further action is required from you. We are sorry for the inconvenience caused.

I reported that mine was wrong. I called helpdesk and even spoke to my RM about it.

At first they told me to wait till 20th of the month. Now I received this sms... ok 😹
