check your Apr 2024 eStatement. On the last day, did you see
1. CR Interest - this is your base interest of 0.05% on full account balance
2. Bonus Interest Payment - this should be your BI for incremental balance (this may be paid in 2 parts - some end of Apr and balance by 7th working day of May or in one sum on last day of Apr 2024)

If your Apr ADB is higher than ADB of Mar 2024 (the comparison month) you will be paid BI of 3.40% on the difference between these 2 months. If your Apr ADB is equal or lower than Mar ADB, you will not be paid BI.

For public promo in April, we always receive BI on last day or first day of mth.

If you did not empty your Mar balance, then topup more in April, you only receive BI for the incremental ADB in April (ie April less Mar), maybe that's why you calculate only 2%pa. So for May, you will also lugi!

Before April, you mentioned you were on invite? Invite works differently from public promo.

Ok I assume you were on invite since u mentioned in the past you get interest on 20th.

Public always get full bonus interest at end/beginning of mth. You will get another mth of low interest for May, unless you think is worth moving your money elsewhere to recoup your loss from today. U definitely must move your money out in Jun.

I have another joint account, so I merry go round between the 2 or with another bank with high interest.

Tihis is an email from SCB to account holders for the public schene notifying that there is an ongoing eSaver promotion. This promo to open to the general publoc because the max limit for incremental fresh funds is only $2,000,000 (the other By Invite promo is up to max ABD of $5,000,000). And it is stated clearly in the email "incremental funds"

When we withdraw the $$$ from esaver at end of this month, should we leave a small amount in there? Or should leave zero ?

I always leave the min. balance of $1k (even though I'm supposedly under their 'priority' client).

3.55% probably barely more than the public promotion rate only, see what SCB going to publish tomorrow.

Qn: If I move my funds out of eSaver (A) on June 1, Saturday. The transaction date is Jun 1 but the settling date is June 3. Does it mean I will still get interest in eSaver (A) June 1 and 2, which means eSaver still considers I have funds in there for June 1 and 2?

  1. Is Saturday a banking holiday in Singapore?
    No. However, some banks choose to close on Saturdays and Sundays. Also, with effect from 15 May 2006, the Singapore banking industry moved to a 5-Day Clearing Week. There is no crediting or debiting of customer accounts with cheques, GIRO or Interbank funds transfers on Saturdays. Clearing of funds will be carried out Mondays to Fridays only.
