QUOTE(lace @ Nov 22 2015, 01:08 AM) i have a m2u savers account but my balance now is rm250 its frozen n i cant do anything to it wat do i do? What do you meant frozen? Min amount in the account is RM250. After reaching RM250, you can't withdraw anymore unless you close your account(to move the RM250 into your normal account) or deposit more money into m2u savers.

QUOTE(lace @ Nov 22 2015, 05:17 PM) yeah left 250 now i tried to do some deposit also cannot shud i close it? What you mean cannot deposit? Just copy m2u savers account no, paste it. Then just transfer how much you want (for online transfer from other banks). If via cash deposit machine, just key in m2savers account no.

QUOTE(nexona88 @ Nov 24 2015, 12:10 AM) mind sharing the reason why u wanna close the account?  You didn't read the last few post is it? He cannot transfer/deposit money into m2savers. Cannot transfer I understand as they required you to maintain a minimum of RM250 in that account. But cannot deposit really surprising.

QUOTE(dannykhoo17 @ Nov 27 2015, 05:54 PM) Both accounts have no difference as i can also use my card to buy stuffs online and withdraw money right? Then i have wasted my time having my cash in the basic savings account :/ Got. Your card is linked to your basic account. You cannot make purchase from your m2savers. You will need to transfer to your basic account first. Your basic account will most likely be charged rm8/year. There's a way around it. Make a normal basic account with 4x/month withdrawal. That's free. So when you want to withdraw cash from atm, just pick others instead of your basic account. M2savers allow unlimited withdrawal. You can do like me. Transfer any unused money into Ambank Truesavers (earns 2.8% p.a instead of M2savers which give only 2.25% p.a no minimum amount required - m2savers required min rm2k in your account, no need to topup every Month, free IBG) Bad thing is ambank Truesavers have no IBFT and allow only 3x withdrawal (atm+online transfer) per month.

QUOTE(dannykhoo17 @ Nov 27 2015, 06:59 PM) Thanks for the recommendation! I think i will just stick with m2savers.. transfer from m2savers back to basic account is instant right? and i withdraw less than 4 times a month. Yes it's instant.

QUOTE(jaggi @ Feb 1 2016, 07:14 AM) Hi. I just opened m2u savers account last month and just received my first interest today. Just want to ask is this how the interest calculated Balance x 2.25% × no of days ÷ 360 × number of days ÷360 M2u savers is a bad account. Tried closing account, they say cannot close account. Need to email them with a scanned letter with my signature.  Calculations (Balance x 0.0225 x no of days you put)/366 To get 2.25%, one should have >= Rm2000. If balance drop below RM2k, no interest given. Compare that to Ambank truesavers. 2.8% No need to have minimum amount to get that 2.8%. Even if you have only rm100, you will still get 2.8% returns.

QUOTE(cybpsych @ Feb 1 2016, 09:11 AM) jsut because you like truesavers, doesnt mean m2usavers is bad. diff ppl has diff preferences. Trying to close m2u savers account via online and telling me system error. Call customer service, 1 week + already until today they didn't fix it yet. Is not an excuse for one of Malaysia's largest bank. 3-4 days still acceptable. 2.25% p a is bad. It might be good last time, but nowadays most banks offer min 2.5% for their savers account I have a very good mind to write into the newspaper and see what's their response. My loyalty is not banks but to my money. I will not hesitate to move my money back to maybank should maybank come out with something competitive.

QUOTE(cybpsych @ Feb 1 2016, 09:42 AM) that's the system issue. every bank has some issues, one way or another. you generalize your preference and applies for all other ppl. for me, m2usavers is good enough. dont care what truesavers offers cuz i hava no busieness with ambank; and wont bother anytime soon. For 1 week +, they still didn't fix it? Generalize? Rhb bonus savers, cimb air Asia savers (one must calculate carefully for this - the more money you have, the lesser the effective rates), Ambank truesavers, OCBC SmartSavers all give > 2.5%. There are among the ones I know which give >2.5%

QUOTE(kenloh7 @ May 11 2016, 11:03 PM) Dang it, I've wasted about 5 months of extra 1.8% interest...I've place an even bigger amount in the 3.25% eFD... So to get this eGIA-i 4% rate, I have to go eFD>Mudharabah, and to select any tenure for RM1k above? What if I deposited on the 1st, and withdraw on the 15th? Will the 15 days interest still come in on the 1st of next month? Don't worry. I didn't know too.  Interest will be given upon withdrawal (added to the principal) or upon hitting maturity date (whichever comes first) QUOTE(ronho @ May 11 2016, 11:46 PM) eGIA-i whats this ro ? tried to get more info but not able to see the interest rate.b 4%. But it can change. Depend on the profit they made in their investment. Maybank GIA-i ratesGen-X have made write up on GIA-i https://genxgenygenz.com/2016/05/10/earn-mo...lamic-accounts/

QUOTE(cybpsych @ May 12 2016, 08:33 AM) correction to Gen-X's example in his blog post Firstly, profit is given IMMEDIATELY after you uplift the eGIA-i. You dont have to wait until 1st of the month to see the profit hence, in his example, the uplift/withdrawal on 26th May 2016 will see the principal+profit credited into the designated SA example from my eGIA-i placements:  Secondly,Maybank2u eFD/eGIA-i placements can only be done from 6am till 10.30pm, 7 days a week including public holidays. I did try after 10:30pm or before 6am, M2U will block placement  Same here. I tried placing after that time or before 6a.m kena block.

QUOTE(kenloh7 @ May 12 2016, 10:58 AM) So the rate will keep changing since this is an investment product, am I right? In the web, the 4% rate is * Effective from 16 April 2016 to 15 May 2016 So that means we'll see a new rate on 16th May? Rates are more or less 4%.

QUOTE(christie_ang @ May 12 2016, 02:14 PM) upliftment made on 26th, the money will only credited back to the designated SA 2 to 3 days later? I saw the print screen that you showed the transaction date to get back the money is on 28 & 29. Please advice! Thanks! Interest will be given on the spot upon upliftment. It will be added together with the principal. Don't believe me? Try putting rm1k today, tomorrow try uplifting it. Your rm1k would have gain a few sens.

QUOTE(christie_ang @ May 12 2016, 02:58 PM) About to try out that. Just placed it, will try to uplift tomorrow, but doubt when it will showed in my SA. Principal + interest will show up on the spot in your SA upon uplifting. QUOTE(sainod @ May 12 2016, 03:02 PM) no penalty early upliftment? For now no. Don't know about future.

QUOTE(heavensea @ May 14 2016, 12:01 AM) Maybank GIA-i is NOT A DEPOSIT PRODUCT and there is a possibility that you may even lose your Principal Sum @@ Just look at the other side. Maybank lose your money, will people trust maybank with their money again if in the event they introduce a similar product? 4% returns is doable. Is not like they are giving out 10%

QUOTE(heavensea @ May 14 2016, 03:49 PM) I've two "big" and "small" Efd in Maybank right now. The big one is "campaign rate" with 4.31% p.a. The small one is normal rate with 3.15% p.a. (maturity date is 1 month only) I planned to wait the "small" Efd maturity date and put it in egia account, or should I uplift all and put it into egia right now? Just wait. Don't waste interest. However if you have say rm1k lying around inside your SA, you can put that into eGIA-i.
