Hi guys, just come to know about this account. Think of registering it in m2u and use for parking the money from basic account to get the daily interest.

Any opinion regarding this? Is the online transaction is purely unlimited and foc?

The GIA doesnt have the advantage of online transaction right, that why i thought of opting for this.

Where do you get the impression that the online transaction is foc?  hmm.gif

The GIA is available in maybank2u as eGIA-i under fixed deposit section smile.gif

I mean from m2u basic saving acc, suppose to be foc between same bank right?
Well its good if GIA also in m2u, but registration cant do online, and need to maintain 1k vs 250 in isavers. Does GIA also give daily interest?

Any bank transfer within the bank is free  laugh.gif

Yes, however GIA you can uplift everything, where as m2u saver you are tied with the minimum balance of 250 in that account

Moreover, m2u saver does not give interest below 2000 (same rate as bsa for the islamic m2u saver)

And yes, GIA interest is calculated daily, and when you uplift, it will give you the interest equals to the day you put in according to the monthly interest rate as quoted in their website

Noted there... ok u got my attention on that uplift thingy.. kindly explain. Is that mean no need to maintain 1000 at all times? So if can, does that low amount also entitled interest 4%?

Thanks in advance ☺

Ok got it... thanks.
Another thing i may ask, for daily interest calculation, are bank using 12am for the cut off time for the daily balance, or other time like working hours?
Anyone have idea about this.

Guys, anyone can plz confirm about registering for maybank gia, since can in/out anytime without charges, so selecting the tenure doesnt matter right? Thanks.

Yes. Not important. However if you select 1 month you need min rm5k.

Thanks for the quick reply ☺
So i can just select 2 months, and starting must deposit min 1k?
Then anytime can withdraw/add, no need to maintain min 1k all the time in the account right?

Noted. So any amount more 1k, just transfer from m2u savers and park it in gia for higher daily interest.

be mindful that accessing eGIA is from 6am till 10.30pm, 7 days a week including public holidays.

If the sum is minimal n extremely short duration, it's not worthwhile as u need to login for placement n withdrawal

Noted there, thanks for the advice. Thought of using this account as temporary parking few days, before making payment for cc/ loan on its due date. Sounds quite leceh though. Anyone do this?

Planning to do ut when I get my credit card. After all this is my SA now. Anytime need money just uplift. Simple. What's a few minutes compare to totally zero interest (interest in normal SA is negligible)

Wow, ni betul2 expert ni.. sampai investment account treat like saving account 😁
Just wanna ask about the uplift, is it need to uplift the whole amount of a cert or can also select certain portion of it? Thanks.

If is let say 9.30pm, then we can exploit it with GIA-i account. Everyday morning withdraw the GIA-i to earn 3.5%, then put at savings account until 9.30pm to get another 2%, then put back at GIA-i @ 9.45pm.

Not really clear, but i guess ur method is to get interest for 2 account with the same money?
That 10 pm is the last transaction time for gia, while as someone mentioned earlier, the cut-off time for bank to do calculation is midnight (i.e. balance as at 12am), i suppose bank use the same exact cut off time for all the account.
