I'm planning to open an CIMB AirAsia Savers Account. On the website, its stated that the interest rate is 1.40% p.a. flat, no tiers - CIMB AirAsia Savers Account - Interest Rate

This is somehow an higher percentile of interest compared to other savings account right?

Also, the high interest rate of 1.40%, up to 2.60% p.a. (inclusive of the RM5 cash back if average balances of at least RM5,000 with no over-the-counter transaction in any day of the month) seems like an very interesting offer as almost 100% of my banking transactions are done online - thus giving me more reasons to open up this account.

Currently have savings accounts with Maybank & Public Bank.

Looking for an alternative savings account to maintain upper 4 figures to 5 figures savings.

Would this be an viable option? hmm.gif

the 1.4% p.a is highest interest rate for a saving account so far...

Lets say if I maintain RM 5000 throughout the year...
The incentive & interest gain p.a would be RM70 + RM60 (Monthly incentive for maintaining RM5000/month) = RM130.
So it is actually 2.6% p.a  rclxms.gif

You mean interbank funds transfers ? No. It is RM2 only for this account.

You mentioned that you have this account right, how's the interest rate like? Is it as mentioned on the website - 1.4%?

CIMB staff called me and introduced this savings account.

Still thinking about it..

Well, its good & worthwhile if you can maintain a minimum balance of RM5k if at all you decide to open this account...

Currently I do not get attraction on its interest because AffinPlus offers 2.8% for balance > RM20k. The highest in the town.

I am in consideration just on the airasia promotion and privilege on booking tickets. Wonder if it is true. Seem others commented that the promotion fare is same as usual.

As mentioned, if you intend to maintain a figure of RM5k++ then its worthwhile to go for it....otherwise, you can opt for other options.
