Marathon $aver Promotion
https://www.sc.com/sg/save/savings-...e_new-esaver-acquisition-sc_com_organic-sg-en
t&c: https://av.sc.com/sg/content/docs/sg-esaver-marathon-saver-promotion.pdf

I may be wrong, but below is my interpretation of the t&cs:
Register & just need to deposit at least $100k on 30 Oct & maintain it there for 30-31Oct to ensure the balance on 31Oct is at least $100k higher than the balance on 30Sep. There is no need to keep at least $100k balance continuously for Oct, Nov & Dec.

Bonus interest calculation is based on the incremental Average Daily Balance (ADB) for each of the 3 interest-earning months (Oct, Nov, Dec) compared to Sep ADB. This incremental ADB can be less than $100k & need not to be at least $100k. You also do not need to keep funds there for all 3 months, for example - you can choose to transfer funds into the a/c only in Dec.

(Note: 31Oct is public holiday)
Deposit 100k by 30 Oct or on 30 Oct?

Nope. You must transfer $100k in by 30 Oct.
However, you don't need to keep the $100k in there after Oct.
Read the tnc carefully, it says 31 Oct and not 30 Oct actually, so it depends if SCB does value on public holiday (which they usually do not), so a pro tip would be to do it by 30th to be safe.

If you do not meet the criteria stated, you would still be eligible to participate in the e$aver Bonus Interest (October - November 2024) promotions.

You can refer the Terms and Conditions.
Can sign up for both at the same time?

Marathon $aver Promotion - In addition to the actual Registration, the next key point is to show the balance on 31Oct is at least $100k higher than the balance on 30Sep. There is no need to keep at least $100k balance continuously during the period Oct-Dec. Can contact the bank if need further confirmation.

So in short, if transfer in $ on 30 Oct wh is at least $100K > than the balance on 30 Sep, the incremental amt will be able to earn total of 3.45% (BI 3.35% + 0.05% prevailing) and 3.5% (BI 3.44% + 0.05% prevailing) for Nov and Dec respectively.
Even if I just deposit for month of Nov also can, cuz no need to maintain for all 3 months fr Oct-Dec.

I hope my above understanding is correct?

For Marathon $aver Promotion, you can transfer at least $100,000 higher than the deposit balance on 30 Sep 2024, by 31 Oct 2024 but the average daily balance ("ADB") is used to determine the amount of Bonus Interest earned on your eligible Incremental Balance.

E.g.
Assuming you have ADB of $0 for Sep 2024 and you deposit $100,000 on 30 Oct 2024. You only earn the following Bonus Interest.

ADB for Oct 2024: [($0 x 29 days) + ($100,000 x 2 days)] / 31 days = $6,451.61
Bonus Interest for Oct 2024: ($6,451.61 - $0) x 3.30% x 31/365 = $18.08

okay, so in short:
- I need to make sure to have $100K on 31st Oct over compared to 30th Sep 2024
- I will receive 3.35% for the month of Nov 2024 for the delta with 30th Sep 2024
- I will receive 3.45% for the month of Dec 2024 for the delta with 30th Sep 2024
Yes, that is for the Bonus Interest rate and the $100K is higher than the ADB for September 2024. There is also a Prevailing Interest rate of 0.05%.
Most important is to register for Marathon $aver Promotion.
