Standchart eSaver

[Min Min]

I think the T&C is quite clear on this.

hence I am asking to see if anyone has done it yet

 

[havetheveryfun]

I thought many of you say no need to keep after 1st of Nov since it just needs to be 100k more for Oct to qualify for marathon bonus
anyone move out yet?

qualify but u still need to leave the 100k inside to get bonus interest for the 100k

I already moved out, what is the particular concern that you have?

hmm i am confused some say no need to keep inside can move out from nov onwards?

because it’s confusing some say move out some say keep inside to earn bonus interest even my banker say don’t move out

u qualify but u still need to have money inside to earn the interest ma.

means if ur account $0 now then u top up $100k, then withdraw the next day. Your account is $0. so u qualify but u earning interest on $0.

read the T&C again... never say must keep inside. What other pple are saying is that if you move out, then you don't get bonus interest for Nov mah.

I signed up for the promotion for it's for period of Oct to Dec. Nov I have better place to park so just withdraw out first.

A related issue using esaver for this promo or previous promos. How you ensure the money is safe? Scb has money lock but need to go their branch and their branches quite limited.

This safety issue applies to all banks. Not pertaining to Standchart alone.

Even biscuits tin may not be safe. Read articles about cash being eaten away by insects.

We can only play our part by making sure we don't download apk from dubious links, and to enrich ourselves to be scam proof as much as possible. The rest leave it to God.

Yes but different banks have different mechanism to deal with it. Best is use money lock which by now almost all banks should be offering. However, some banks offer unlocking by atm. Scb doesn't. Others such as ocbc has a 12 hour cooling period when new payment recipients are added.

Many of us here often merry go round with our funds chasing for higher interest. To lock it is a no no for many of us I suppose

Hello, even if scb offers unlocking via ATM, where you can find a scb ATM is also usually where the physical location of scb is liao loh.
In all honesty, if you really so kiasee, then just buy a cheap phone with no sim card, install your scb app that only. Make sure you have no communication apps like telegram and Whatsapp on that phone. Today is 11/11, alot of phones on discount, go buy one with the big amount of interest you are collecting from that big sum of money you are protecting.

another way is to use the spare phone as a separate OTP token away from any banking app installed on your primary phone

then don't take part in the promo. not worth losing your sleep over that extra 0.2-0.3% interest.
or just dont put too much money in scb for the promo.

e.g. for me even though sometimes banks last time like RHB , ICBC , BOC etc give higher interest. I don't feel comfortable with them even though they are safe so I would rather forgo that bit of extra interest.

China banks security stronger than other banks.

Agree. Transfer of funds from BOC require physical token, Same as ICBC.
