Standchart eSaver

[crossfitter]

it says must be fresh funds...means cannot withdraw and put back 30 days before 1 Sep?

That’s a good point. Need to check with cso on this

No idea they just broadcast to selected group, i was ex PB but dropped out recently. Maybe its a retention campaign as i moved out all my funds. I remember there was once i am not invited and i enrolled manually through hotline and RM via exception

I did not receive invitation, I have some money in eSaver accounts, just do swop for every two Month.

be careful of fresh funds clause

be careful of fresh funds clause

well unless they've revamped their system, old timers merry-go-rounding between 2 esavers every 2mths are well aware how their "fresh fund" works

 

[crossfitter]

The fresh funds clause is different this time as it states: Fresh funds” means funds that do not originate from any existing account with the Bank or funds that are not withdrawn and re-deposited within 30 days of the Promotion Period;

That literally means if you withdraw during Aug, it would not count as fresh funds even if your sept balance is higher than the Aug mth end balance.

Have asked the CSO on this and he said he will get back to me.

well the vanilla esaver bonus interests are also all-along subjected to the "30days fresh funds" in its tnc
to break the news, some (including myself) have been merry go-rounding between 2 esaver accounts DIRECTLY under same name for years when they were one of the leading products, and BI credits as usual if that explains anything

of course i understand your concerns abt the fresh funds, at least from the black & white t&c.

[i_dun_understand]

the invitation is via email or notification in the app ?

 

[Mickey01]

sad, didn’t get targeted for this.

I only got targeted for 3.75% until Jun 2023, after that no luck at all

For my case, the RM informed me but I told him I did not get any SMS.
Anyway, he said I am eligible as he has helped me check with their back end.

After that, I noted that there is "notification" in the SC APP that mention about eligibility for the promotion.
But it did not specify which account is eligible. (I have 2 eSaver accounts)

So may I check with those who got the promotion of 3,65% from Sep to Jan, did you get SMS, email or notification from app. And does the invitation mention which account is eligible ?

Thanks.

The bonus interest is interesting till I see its 100K balance at least and by invitation only somemore.

Dunno why you guys keep chasing after these kind of promos, when it was 4.1% for 2 years FD with min. 20K before, no need to keep chasing.

you never know that those who are interested in this eSaver by invite promo have already locked in many 2 year FD at 4.1% and now they are trying to achieve the highest savings rate for the spare/emergency cash which is floating around.
