Standchart eSaver

[Scuderia]

might need to go down to sign form for different foreign trading/settlement account. i only sign up for US trading so only US stocks. no UK stocks etc

I have a 10 digit settlement account number. However, when I try to fast transfer to fund this account from my Esaver inside SC Mobile app, it says the account number is wrong.

if i buy sgx stock, from esaver i xfer to securities settlement account. if i buy usd stock i xfer to foreign currency usd settlement account.

the account number is fixed, might need to check with scb

You should click on the settlement a/c & go into the a/c to see if the balance is 0. This will prove that it is a real a/c.
When you go to Pay & Transfer, and to transfer from e$aver a/c to settlement a/c, should select the option ‘Between My Accounts’. Do not select ‘Local Transfer’ (this is for transfer to another bank).

Need to wait few days before you can start trade. I also set up a day ago and called up asking why can't seems to trade. Cs says need to wait for email or sms to notify trading account opened then can trade. We can see various currency settlement account means it is successfully applied but formal trading need like 5 days she said

I have a joint account. As the tnc said higher interest only award to account where main acc holder is the one holding the wealth product. I ask if I'm the main but she can't reveal over the phone. This one need to personally visit branch to find out. In case anyone same as me forgot who is the main account holder.

Call again and hopefully the next CSO can tell you.

hmm... to buy unit trust, i have to open a Bonus$saver account? (trying to fulfil the wealth holding criteria)

just to reaffirm the above qns,
so to qualify the wealth holding criteria need to open Bonus$saver account?
as i tried playing around thru the investment tab eventually led me to Unit Trust Account Opening / Standard Chartered Online Mutual Fund opening, and stating "currencies for which Bonus$aver account will be created"

Check your estatement. I believe the first name in your statement is the main account holder.

You guys are much better than their cs I also puzzled why can't reveal over the phone. I actually ask why so and the reply i gotten is this is one of their security check question so i am suppose to know. If i don't i need go physical bank to find out.

@Squaredot Spot on. The main account holder name will appear as the first name on the bank statement.
@peppermint7 CSO support is usually "hit or miss". Phone CSO can't provide the answer but chat CSO gave the answer.

The BANKS outsource the hotline service overseas,

if I'm not wrong these centers are not serving just One particular bank, so they hv to always put us on hold to check over the simplest stuff

Dun have to. My esaver account allows me to do so. Prior to your bonus saver acct opening, do u have any saving acct with scb?

I actually came all the way down to vivo branch today to ask about why open unit trust lead to bonus saver acc created? As i get confused by the multi currency it ask me select and also talk about bonus saver which i only want simple unit trust to be open. But cs send me to meet a RM who can't answer my question except saying he can help me open unit trust acc on the spot if i invest thru him a unit trust there and then. Of course i don't want. I say i want to ownself slowly read and decide what to buy. He says in this case any questions have to call the hotline and they'll direct me to team in charge of unit trust. So i think I'll just leave it as i manage to get my equity acc open today. I'll just buy some shares will do. Forget about the UT. Lazy to call in and round about.

Anyone has suggestion how to hit spending $1000 criteria, other than spending? Can pay other credit card bills?

 

[HoGnix]

For eSaver account, Credit Card spending is not a criteria to earn more interest, it is wealthy holding, and for SCB enable trading stock, need to open trading account, no need to open bonus saver account.

Most of the a/cs can be open via online, no need to visit branch. UT & shares can all be transacted online too.

No harm in creating a new BonusSaver a/c - various promotions going on currently.

I think they go link UT to Bonus saver. When i try to open UT acc it'll lead to fill up a 6 pages form which Bonus Saver is included. Not exactly sure how to open UT alone without RM help.

Thanks for the links. Will go thru them later

Those ‘forms’ you mention could be various assessment questionnaire & these are necessary steps for banks because UT & equities fall under Investment. It is no risk to deposit money in eSaver a/c or Bonus Saver a/c to earn interest, but you will be subject to additional risk when investing in UT or Equities.
