Good. I remember those on longer term plan with expire date next year would enjoy the same? Even we are not pumping in any new funds?

As I understand from reading the old posts, what you said seems to be the case. I can't be sure as I did not get the invitation for longer term promo.

The wordings used is :

So need to place $1m then can get 1.5% ? The tnc shows Aug in the description but when click in still old tnc for Jul. In the past think they phrase as upto $1 million but the "upto" is missing

No worries. Happy to share as I too benefited from this forum.:)
Yup! It was not updated last night and not even this morning before 9.00am. I was on the call with SCB and before the call ended, CS told me that they just updated the new rate for 1 August 2022. A good outcome for people including myself who park their liquid fund in eSaver.(y)

When I asked about the max limit amount of $1mil, SCB CS I spoke to say tnc are the same as previous cycle promo except the new higher rate.

Good spot! Indeed the "up to" is missing. But I'm pretty sure it should be up to $1m.
Website was still showing previous esaver promotion around 9am. Likely the person-in-charge is late, doing it in a hurry without proof reading the contents carefully before posting it to website bah :s13:

Just for info, it's up to $5m for Exclusive esaver promotion.

We are so seasoned we don't spot this. 🤣 I send to my friend and she ask is it must put $1m then can get 1.5%.

I have called hotline to inform them that the PDF of tnc still showing June Jul tnc. And suggest that they update the website also to make it clearer. CSO checked with dept and confirmed it is upto $1m.

I not sure if I got the invitation before. In the past just throw away because rates not attractive.

Or trying to double, triple confirm other banks' rates before pulling the final 1.5% rate trigger this morning?:)

Sweet spot seems to be up to $75k with effective interest rate of 1.533%. If you have amount above 75k, you would need to work out if it is going to be better than eSaver 1.5%. The other factor to consider is CIMB daily limit transfer of 50k (not sure if they have increased) versus SCB 200k. Personally, CIMB current Sep rates is not good enough for me to move the needle.
