I dun really understand why the rates are still dropping... I thought US raising rates so banks would follow likewise... hmm...

anyway, I've been doing:

esaver1 --> bank A --> bank B --> esaver2

ever since I was introduced to this esaver account. quite a hassle with the use of tokens to generate OTP, etc. but I guess it's worth the extra interest.

Quick question.

For e$aver account, does the Bonus Interest Rate on eligible Incremental Balance applies to 2 months or just that month alone.

For example, in Jan my account has 1K and I added 49K in Feb. The bonus interest of 1.13% p.a applies to the newly deposit 49K in Feb only or for both Feb and March.

Thanks in advance

Basically u only need to move your funds every 2 mths to enjoy the higher interest rate.

Though FAST limit is only $50k, the daily limit is actually $100k for SCB. So you can FAST $50k x 2 = $100k.

Damn need to move again. Too bad tmrw is not a cheque clearing day

daily transfer limit for scb is 100k. unless you have more than 200k, you can transfer 100k tonight after 11pm but before midnight (valued the next day), and another 100k after midnight.
