I have this account. It is my primary day-to-day transaction account now. As far as i am concerned, you get the same 1 day priority booking just like the Air Asia credit card. This applies to all sort of promotions Air Asia is having.

I notice that the bank transfer charge of this account type is RM5 per transaction??!?!?
You mean interbank funds transfers ? No. It is RM2 only for this account.

Hi bro MilesAndMore, so you did transfer from this account before?

What is the RM5 stated on the website then?
No. I have done this only through my CIMB Basic Savings Account. Anyway, the IBG fee for Air Asia Savers Account really is just RM2. The RM5 stated in their website has absolutely nothing to do with IBG and i am not sure what is that about.

Hi, I am 19 year old student who just opened my cimb savings account (for ptptn purpose)
The whole process was completed in half and hour, including activation of cimbclicks, the lady did not explain to me about the types of accounts they provide though, so i assume that i've just opened a regular saving account, or maybe a youth saver account because i do see the "youth service" option at the left options panel. As soon as i logged in i noticed that there's actually a CIMB AirAsia account which pays much higher interest rate (regular one pays 0.4%)

My plan is to maintain the ptptn fund in the account to yield interest over my period of study. Hence, is it possible for me to switch my account type? I also see the Account Opening option under "manage my account" , does it mean that i could just open another new account via online and transfer my deposits from the existing one to the new one? Would i get a new atm card for it? Please advice. smile.gif
You do not need to close your existing savings account at CIMB Bank. You can just open another account (Air Asia Savers Account) and this can be done online. You will be prompted to choose your preferred branch and i suggest that you choose the same branch or any other branch that's near to where you're staying. If your existing savings account is not a basic savings account, then you can just tag this new account to your existing ATM card. This way you only need to pay RM8 annual fee for the ATM card once. Anyway, i'm pretty sure yours not a basic savings account because banks such as CIMB Bank doesn't usually open the basic savings account for their customers unless specifically requested so.

how do i check my account type? In cimbclicks it shows that my account type is "savings account", it does not specify.
CIMBClicks doesn't state whether you have a regular or basic savings account. You will need to check with their CS.

By tagging the new account to the existing card means i get to access to two different accounts with one card?
Yes

It is most likely due to your Air Asia Savers Account is your secondary account in your ATM/debit card.

Hi guys, want to ask if I tell CIMB staff that I want to open saving account, they will open this AirAsia Savers account for us by default ? Is the rate for IBG and online bank transfer the same as regular account ?
*
IBG fee is the same as other accounts which is RM0.10/transfer via CIMBClicks. For the card, make sure you request for a normal ATM card instead of a debit MasterCard as the annual fee for ATM card is lower at RM8/pa only. For the CIMB debit MasterCard, the ATM card annual fee is RM15/pa.

I see. So if I ask for regular debit card RM 8 per year, how about my account ? Will it be regular saving account or air Asia savers account ? Thank you  rclxms.gif  rclxms.gif  notworthy.gif

1. You have to tell the staff that you want the ATM card (without debit MasterCard function) and sometimes you have to insist for it as sometimes ill-informed staff may tell you CIMB Bank no longer issue the old ATM card.

2. If you want the Air Asia Savers Account, then you need to tell the staff specifically that you want him/her to open the Air Asia Savers Account for you. If you say nothing at all when you go to open a savings account, they may open a regular savings or a basic savings account or may be Air Asia Savers for you.

Bro, is it possible to transfer money from the AA savers account to my normal basic savings account? Tried doing it online via cimbclicks but cannot find any option to do so. Can you please advise?

Thanks!

It was possible last time, as in 3 years ago. Anyway, i closed all of my CIMB Bank accounts last year and i no longer have access to CIMBClicks. So very sorry bro sweat.gif
