the PSR columns are just the profit ratio split between you and the bank. this is based on Islamic banking methodology and the concept of profit sharing, how profits are recognised as income by the bank and how profits are distributed.

the indicative % is still the same as Savers, just that <RM2,000 will also get 0.4% pa.

i have no idea nor studied whether Savers-i consistently giving 2.1%/2.3% pa, hence the term "indicative". assuming Savers-i gives 2.1%/2.3% pa, then it's comparable with Savers.

here's a simpler comparison for the interest %

Credit BalanceSaversSavers-i*
Below RM2,000-0.40% p.a.
RM2,000 to RM50,0002.10% p.a.2.10% p.a.
Above RM50,0002.30% p.a.2.30% p.a.
*Indicative, based on PSR

I was also wondering about this Savers-i Account. The indicative dividend rate for RM2k > RM50k savings is 2.1% p.a. based on the Profit Sharing Ratio of 5% Depositor and 95% Bank.

So this 2.1% p.a. is equivalent to 5% Depositor's profit?
Or is it the Depositor will only get 5% from the 2.1% dividend?

I tried to find their terms and conditions, but can't find any.....

Gotten my march interest liao.

Did a daily interest calculation in Excel against daily closing balance. Almost matched the actual interest credited.

One thing I noticed is the month-end interest is not calculated with the acct balance. It's credited after the interest has been calculated.

Same here. I just opened my Savers-i account yesterday and today already got dividend for march.
The total dividend works out to 2.09% per annum. So i guess their indicative dividend rate of 2.1% pa is pretty accurate.

Noob question.

The monthly return of lets say rm10000 @ 2.1% annually is just almost nothing, should be use on else where for better return? Without more initial fund, should I even bother at all?

Well, this savings account is not for investment. If you have spare money that is laying around with nothing better to do, then at least you should've put it in the FD. You'll get 3% p.a.

If you are a Bumi, then put it in ASB. Get 8% p.a.

If you are feeling lucky, can go to casino.

But if you really wanna invest, then study up the stock market. That is where rich people make their money, aside from business and real estate.

Anyway, I personally just use this savings account to keep my cash for daily expenses. Any extra money will straight go into my stock market portfolio.

Yes, 2.1% annually is just almost nothing. But it is definitely more than 0.5% annually which I get from normal saving account. It does makes a different, but just a small one.

can describe more on ASB?

What kind of description do you look for?
Amanah Saham Bumiputera is like a unit trust, but it is managed by the government through Permodalan Nasional Berhad (PNB)

Price per unit is fixed at RM1.

Every year end they will declare dividend, which is roughly around 8%.

So, if you put RM10k in ASB starting from January, next year you'll get around RM800 in dividend.

Now, that's a lot of Venti-sized frappucino.... thumbup.gif

Hi I have just opened a Maybank2u Savers-i account but after opening I realised that their website no longer mention the indicative dividend rate.

Anyone know the current dividend rate?
