Hmm this eSaver account can only enjoy the bonus interest rates only if there is a constant deposit of fresh funds?

Since their promotional bonus interest only lasts for 2 mth

I have e$aver account since 2007 when they encouraged me to open an account by they depositing $1 into the account. After so many years and after upgraded to priority, I just received a letter informing me that they are going to close my savings and security account as well as credit card by early next month :s22:

As for the credit card, I have paid a sum of money as Lifetime Member years before opening a savings account. Can they just closed my credit card just like that?

Bro, I'm facing the same issue as you. Been a customer since 2012 or 2013. They enquired about some transactions and I provided docs. All of a sudden just received letter to terminate everything, no reasons given, asked RM to check also couldn't give an answer. Asked my RM to try appeal but still pending.

I guess, the fact that you have an RM means you are dealing with a lot of money. The docs you submitted do not explain sufficiently how you garnered so much wealth, so as a safety measure they close your account.

They have been fined badly before so they don't want to take any chances.

This is quite worrisome :eek:

edit: after reading Uncle Henry's story of him vs SCB, I'm not so worried anymore ...

No wealth. But they queried me when I deposited 4 cashier orders of about 480k from different banks relating from sale of my EC.

Then I loan 50k to X.

Then I paid 3 shares transactions amounting to about 40k.

Then I transferred 3x amounting to about 48k to my sis.

So simple, yet they are speculating.

Only I refused to disclosed my salary and amount of shares holdings.

They are the one to encourage me to open an esaver by they depositing $1 into my account to start off :s13:

They increased my credit card limit unilaterally (without any supporting doc from me), even though I told them I don't need :s13:

They encouraged me apply for credit card lifetime member by paying a special fee.

Now my credit card has been dormant for a few years :s13:

They upgraded me to priority even though I told them I don't need and don't want any RM to bother me :s13:

Now they want me to close my esaver and credit card :s22::s22::s22:

Was it transferred to 3rd party or account of your own name? They questioned about the transfer in or the out?

50k was a loan to X. They want supporting doc :s22:

They asked for silly evidence like sms or whatsapp for the loan. Told them there is none. Like that no happy :s13:

What so suspicious about your transaction???
Deposit property sale proceeds and transfer moola to sister and x are considered dubious ??

Probably they find your original source of funds dubious as u did not disclose your salary or income. My guess.

for such purpose, I usually give them any number as salary or equity holdings ...they still accept it without asking for further proof

I think they just need some reason / justification ... so better provide something, rather than nothing at all

but now, I will also think twice before consolidating family's $ with my account

Just do it progressively, not in large sums to trigger an alert. If u suay suay "selected" for investigation, just comply with the required supporting docs so that they can close the case with a "pass".
