Is there any other option?
Since Most promo end 31 Dec... And yiou have to rotate out on 1 Jan... Or 2 Jan

I'm not exactly sure but if u transfer to GXS i think they pay accumulated daily interest? The 3.18% pocket 60k one.

ha ha ha ......... this was exactly what I told the bank officer when she called me for verification and unlock my account. Told her if the bank do not trust the soft token, give me back my hard token

Anyways, after my account was locked, a south asian accent female officer did call me. As usual did the security verification etc etc. Until she ask me to confirm the name of bank and the account number which I'm transferring to and the amount; which I got very uncomfortable. So I as her "are you calling from the bank branch in Singapore" and she replied "this I'm not able to confirm" and so I replied "then I'm not comfortable to provide bank name and account number as I don't know if you are real or scammer". Immediately after that call, another local officer branch officer called. She identified herself and the name of the branch. She did not ask me for the payee bank name and account number. the account was unlocked within secs after the last call.

I have somewhat similar experience but is from another bank. The guy called and question me about my transaction. I refused to cooperate as he doesn't sound local and can't answer me when i ask him to proof he's from the bank. Thereafter he hangs up and he go ahead lock my account. I can't log in, so no choice need call back the bank and waited long on the line to get to speak to a cs to reactivate it.

Really scratch head why they don't just bring back the physical token. Instead create so much added work to get everyone involve. Telco, banks, police, etc.

hmmm lol.
this reminds me to be extra wary, especially since i dont answer calls nowadays on my registered banking phone no.
i remembered when i had to reactivate my ibanking access, the CSO whom i called in prompted me to provide OTP.
Now with all these, reminds me of scam stories reported where scammers will send OTP triggers request and ask u for OTP (of which they'll key in on their end to gain access/authorise)
Then again, at least its safe when its customer whom called in bank number.
Random ah mao ah gao call us (customer) and request to "verify" security qns or details etc, how are we able to verify or proof that they are real?
u ask me OTP to verify my identity, how abt i ask u OTP to verify your identity too?

No bank staff will ask for otp. The bank system/telephony will ask for otp, then talk to bank staff once otp validated.

CIMB staff asked me for OTP over the phone earlier.

Probably is cause I have added the payee days prior.

That's right, gov shd make the banks NOT return our calls to demand verification but ask us to call back the bank hotline tat customers searched from their official website
After call,
They shd set aside a menu option for ppl who are returning the bank calls for faster verification

I added the payee - MY Own 3rd party bank
I did transfer for only a few K, then kena block and had to go to counter to unblock , Jin TRIUBLESOME....
It happened twice !

Due to the unpleasant banking experience with this bank (as I had not experienced this issue with Any other banks) , I now only use SC as a backup ,
UNLESS really no other bank give good interest then I bobian have to put here

I'm wary of the transfer procedure, since it suka suka create trouble for me

Is bonus interest for public promo in yet?

 

[Godeau]

Is bonus interest for public promo in yet?

I usually get the BI on the 5th or 6th of the following month

 

[GrandJedi]

Why u want to move funds on a public holiday , u will lose interest

Today is a public holiday, all transactions will only be valued tomorrow. My understanding is that if you withdraw from Bank A today, you will not earn interest in Bank A but funds will only valued in Bank B tomorrow. So you lose today's interest.

 

[bladez87]

Why u want to move funds on a public holiday , u will lose interest

Today no bonus interest if kept in last month account anyway
...and will increase adb ss reference month for future promo

 

[lasnoblur]

Haply new yr all. Did not received any bonus interest today.

I am not on the marathon. On the normal esavers account promo. The interest of 2.85% is not as attractive as grab gxs etc. I am considering to move out after this round.
