True, I have kept $0. But what is the use of keeping a dormant account and having to maintain an app on my phone for the soft token? We will have a low rates scenario for another 2-3 years, so we wont be using this account.

Make sense and by the time u reopen an account if a higher rate scenario is back in said timeline, u come in as a new customer. More often than not, banks usually give goodies to customers with fresh fund.

0.3% for new fund and for all balances. Though Low still better than many saving accounts

If I have a trust trading account worth only 100sgd worth of shares, is it worthwhile to keep the min 1k esaver account balance, I thinking of closing this cecaesaver account as I maintain it mainly because of trading, but I have since migrated my trading to fsmone and only left with that 100sgd German shares

My bro received an email to top up to $200k or had his priority status removed. Think the bank is tidying up their priority client list.
Anyway not much benefit except for some emails from the RM which reads that they are there if u need any assistance. Their RMs kept changing and everytime there is a new one, they will send email. Those aggressive one will call. Otherwise it is more for FYI. To me, there isn’t any useful products from them. I am only happy that I dun have to maintain $1,000 in one of the esaver accts.

SCB running on fumes already. Even the dormant Priority customers also wanna cut? Not as if there's much additional cost to maintaining them.

the only benefit of scb priority is the priority pass and lounge access, i intend to liquidate all my shares with SCB and route ito DBS since the commission is lower at 0.12% vs 0.18%

Then drop out of priority, maybe next time can rejoin and get signup bonus

SCB priority has no perks nowadays

Huh. Didn't know priority have priority pass for lounge access. Not important now anyway.

They upgraded me to priority because my esaver had 200k a few years ago. I did not apply. So if they remove I am not concern.

Std Chart priority not as good as HSBC premier anyway when it comes to queue for counter service (change new notes).

For DBS Vickers, besides the 0.12%, advantage is the Shares are held at CDP and not custodian. I have always insisted on CDP. There is a difference when it comes to voting.
