Ermm.....thing is..they forced me to open 2 Junior kids savings acc due to the reason different branches.
ANyone encountered else this??

Regarding the MYKID.....i did have the MYKID when i tried opening the fd at another branch...they wont let me no matter wat  mad.gif
And you are saying u got no probs??  rclxub.gif arghhhhh this HLB problem is their processes are all SCREWED UP!

This HLB made me waste so much time!
1st i went to a EONBANK turned HLB bank....open acc halfway realised the interest is paid semi-annual (they accept the fact that i only have MYKID and didnt bring birthcert, tho they insisted that i bring the cert back another day). So i cancel application and went to a HLB bank, they rejected my application straight becoz i didnt bring birthcert eventho i have MYKID (eventho i already have a junior savings acc & fd with another branch).
Then i came back another day...and they say i have to reopen another Junior Savings acc for this FD promo if i wan to open in this branch @@

The most solid reason why they wanted a Birth Certificate is that the Parent's name is shown on it.
MyKid doesn't have this particular information.
With that confirmation, only then you are allowed to open a HLB Junior Savings & Junior FD for your kids.

HL bank is the bank that their own SOP is unclear among their staffs.

When I tried to open up Junior FD and I told them my child has Mykad and his age.

One said you need birth cert.
One said you need bring the kid along.
The outcome - I opened Junior FD without birth cert nor with my kid present.


When come to Senior FD
One said must above 55
One said above 50
The outcome - 50 is the minimum age not 55.

If not mistaken, your MyKad address must be your current permanent address.
Good for GE voting also...

I agree with based on the SCB Website's T&C...
But come 1 Nov 2011, won't your account becomes "Existing Customer" from "New-to-Bank Customer" ?

From my understanding of the t&C, once you sign up as a new customer in oct2011, you are considered new customer for the entire promo period of oct2011 to dec2011.

I walked into SCB to open eSaver account yesterday. But the 5% interest promotion will only started today. Filled out all the forms and have to go again today to get the a/c no.

There is no fee and also you don't need to take the ATM card if you don't want it.

The only thing is that they started on Saturday that you can't get you money out to deposit into your esaver account. Cheque payment will only be counted as deposit after it has cleared. If you want to deposit big money in, you can only do it on Monday.

just opened the SCB eSaver to take advantage of the 5% p.a. Offer. The food at Puchong branch is so-so only.

as long as you don't touch money deposited within Oct to Dec, you will get 5% similar to FD. brows.gif
The ATM debit card is OPTIONAL.

SCB Puchong branch wont take big cash deposit, as lack of security. All SCB will open every Sat for these promo.

Wah, first time I hear Bank don't want accept cash. Must be the chief cashier on leave.

If you add money into account in November and December, the amount also gets interest 5% right?

Anyway I also found out that besides the E$aver account, the Islamic Savings Account also entitled to the 5%. As for the Salary Savings account, have to top up RM1K every month. So you can have 3 account earning 5% interest.

Not only that, SCB can offer FD higher than 3.6% for 12 months.

@kwokwah: As long as the ADB is minimum RM3k for each month Oct to Dec, you get the 5% interest

@Gen-X : it makes sense to open 3 accounts if you have RM1.5million to earn 5% from this promotion. Each account's max ADB = RM500k

SC T&C requires a min of "ADB" of 3K throughout Oct (31 days). It means that if you deposit 3K on 1/10/11 and maintain it for 31 days,it's OK. If you open the account on 11/10/11 then you need 4.4286K. That is 4.4286 x 21/31=3. If you open the ac on 31/10/11 and it'll be 93K. Wah lau !

Better be quick if you want to take advantage of the promo.
