Standchart eSaver

[vsvs24]

The website says From now till 31 January 2023, earn up to 3.80% p.a. interest on eligible deposit balance of S$2 million with no lock-in period when you bring in incremental fresh funds* (compared to November 2022 average daily balance)

This means Jan still qualify for Dec's incremental fresh funds isn't it? Since its compared to Nov average balance.

This is different from the usual musical chairs mechanism

Yes. Dec bal increase compared to Nov bal. Jan bal increase compared to Nov bal will get bonus interest.

Move out on 1 Feb.

You are right, SCB is different from RHB, RHB is mthly, but SCB is for a period of 2 mths using Nov for comparison. So continue to keep your money in scb till end Jan, wait for announcement before moving funds out. HOpe they extend, then no need move funds out. If start new promo, then need to move out.

Unless you are on the invite list need to move out. Because the Feb to Mar cycle reference mth will be Jan.

Pls do not pre-empt the promo! Wait for the official announcement. He may not be on invite list based on what he asked. I hope because of CNY, SCB will extend the promo another 2 mths, they did it before. Hope!

Can we do a FAST transfer to another bank for amount up to 200,000 a day once the MAXIMUM DAILY TRANSFER LIMIT is updated to 200,000? Or is the limit at 100,000 due to MAXIMUM PRESET AMOUNT?

Thanks in advance.

This one came in an email stating 'by invitation only'.

"To qualify for the Promotion, (i) you must have received the Invitation Notice, (ii) you must deposit fresh funds^ into your Eligible Account(s), such that the end-of-day deposit balance on 15 January 2023 is at least S$100,000 higher than the end-of-day deposit balance on 31 October 2022, and (iii) your Eligible Account(s) must be validly existing, in good standing, and conducted in a proper and satisfactory manner at all times including at the time of crediting of Bonus Interest (as defined below). Where these requirements are satisfied, your Eligible Account(s) shall be referred to as "Qualifying Account(s)".

The non-invitational one is e$aver Bonus Interest (1 December 2022 to 31 January 2023) Promotion

This invite only is quite outdated already, since the interest rate for the public is now same 3.8%. Invite only should atleast be 4.2% lah.

not really cos 3.8% is only till end Jan but the invite is till april or later
so if u expect the rates to drop in feb-mar then it is still ok

Agree. My invite is till Jun 2023. It is comforting to know that I am assured of the rates that esaver offers to public or even higher rates.

Better than HSBC EGA where you are stuck in lower rates till cycle ends.

And no need to move in and out.

Is this the first time invite rate is the same as public ?

It is the same for other bank promo correct? Maybank iSavvy, RHB HYSA etc they also never give notification so need wait until next month then know

I've been also with SCB for ages and couldn't recall any eSaver Bonus Interest promotion extension for public. May be my memory is failing. Anyway, would be good if they extend; better if they increase the interest rate higher than current 3.8%.

 

[havetheveryfun]

thought if first day of the month is PH they would give interest a day earlier ?

 

[hwarzoner]

Tomorrow morning wake up will have money in liao.

 

[jseyong]

Bonus and base interest are in, all accurate to the cent
