From my understanding you should be getting 5%, but for such an amt it is better you find out yourself from the horse's mouth and let us know.

Thanks MGM. The bank is closed, so I am unable to clarify with CS.
However, I am still hoping someone could shed light on the term "Incremental ADB" as I am quite confused by it. Does it actually mean that the new e$aver account holder still has to keep topping up during the Bonus Period (i.e. Oct till Dec month) in order to earn the 5% Bonus Payments apart from the initial deposit.

I was in StanChart, Dataran Sunway yesterday and I overhead customer service telling customers
over the phone that they would be open this coming Saturday. Those of you who would like to go this
Saturday should call your nearest branch to confirm it.

I'm wondering is there any penalty charges if close the account after getting the 5% and the end of the 3rd month?
*
Yes if you close within 3 months they will charge you Rm20, so it is better for you to close the account after 3 months.

I think GIRO would take 2 days. For every rm10000, u earned rm2.74 less interest.
If you are a new customer, better to open the account with a cheque or Draft which is considered as same day deposit, and it costs less.

I think a better choice would be:
Go to MBB and buy a draft with your funds, I think it costs rm2.
Go to SCB, open the account and deposit with your MBB draft.
Your deposit should be considered as same day deposit.

Just leave a small amt in your account and closed it after 3 months.

I just opened an e$aver account with StanChart with a MBB banker's cheque on Oct. 5 (Wed) but
there was still a float and was not considered as same day deposit. The banker's cheque was
apparently cleared only on Oct. 7 (Fri). When I logged in to check it showed a 'O' balance on Oct 5
and Oct 6.
Btw, MBB did not charge me for the banker's cheque.

Any difference open account between esaver & supersalary? pls advise..
*
SuperSalary is an account where you credit your monthly salary and earn interest as well.
In Singapore it comes with a MasterCard debit card, a chequebook and monthly statements.
I am too sure about StanChart Malaysia, do enquire at SCBM.

e$saver is a savings account that earns high interest.

Tried check your SCB online and see the deposit transaction date, I think it will be OCT-5.
*
I had checked online on Oct 5 and Oct 6 and I saw a zero balance on both days, but when I checked
again yesterday Oct 7 it showed my deposited amount. I think there is always a 1-2 day float for
Savings Account cheque deposit, whereas for FD it usually starts on the deposit transaction date.
I presume I will only earn interest starting Oct 7 upon cheque clearance.

My wife opened a esaver account & deposited a cheque on 1/10/11(Sat) and transaction date was 3/10/11.
I opened a SuperSalary and deposited a cheque on 3/10/11 and transaction date was 3/10/11.
What is the transaction date of your deposit?
*
I opened my e$aver Account on 5/10/11 with a Banker's cheque. StanChart had just sent me a
Statement dated 05 Oct 2011 and showed the CLOSING BALANCE on 05 Oct 2011 as 0.00,
so I suppose my transaction date was 07 Oct and not 05 Oct since the Statement confirmed a
zero balance on 05 Oct 2011.


PS

MGM perhaps you should log in to confirm your account balance on when your cheque was cleared.
