I think what the CS meant is that you can go to any branch to open the new acc except for islamic branch.
Erm, so how you open your acc? online (is this an option)?  I mean definitely you are going to get the card from the branch that you open your acc unless you apply through online right? Do I have the option to open my acc at branch A and collect my debit card at branch B? Correct me if I am wrong or I did not catch your question.
Normally I go to the nearby branch and get everything settle that day.

okay, first time heard about this. I didn't know such flexibility actually available. Then good for you. 

I'm not clear about one thing.
If I deposit RM1,500 on the 25th, do I get the EXTRA 1% for the remaining days of the month or will it include the days before?

Yup, I know it's based on the SA. But let's say I maintain a fixed amount of RM5000 for each of the days in October (SA). I deposit RM1500 on 25th (CA).

Will I get:

1st to 24th (1% p.a.)
25th to 31st (2% p.a.)

(5000 x (1% / 12) * (24 / 31)) + (5000 x (2% / 12) * (7 / 31)) = 5.10

or will it be for the whole month as such:

5000 x 2% / 12 = 8.33

I just made another IBG transfer yesterday and just like last month, they didn't charge me the RM0.50 IBG fee.

No. I have not deposited RM1.5K this month. In fact, not a single deposit this month.

True also, haha!   

Out of curiosity, so you guys normally use debit card or credit card to purchase things? For me, I use credit card. Debit card only for withdrawal at the ATM.

Wondering the list of banks and its details of IBG type of transfer e.g. Fund Transfer , Loan Repayment , Card Repayment that can be done from this account

Ronnie, why you still keeping your e$aver account?

Why the IBG seem like very slow? Citibank CC payment via this account

Yesterday, after 12pm. Today consider 1 working day already.

In addition, SCB deducted the IBG fee, just not stated in the transaction list. I know because the amount was not tally with amount in my phone app.

Hi guys, I just opened this account but under Saadiq.
The funny thing is I received the Temporary id for online banking from a normal handphone number, so I dare not use it. So I called the SC and they confirmed that this doesn't happen. So I'm just going to activate through the ATM tomorrow and do an Instant Registration online.

I have one question though, because I was in a hurry, I did not ask the girl properly when opening this account. Will my salary be credited in to the current or the savings? Or do I need to transfer it from current into savings myself? Abit confused here.

TQ

Yeahh...you're right. Citibank took another day to appear~

I opened this CASA last 31-10-2012, maybe my phone app miscalculate the amount... XD

I just received an email n sms too. But the banker said my account statement date is on 15th. Weird.

A quick question guys, does that means that I will have 2 accounts running from SCB if I am about to apply for this promotion ?

I just went to open JustOne acc this afternoon , and the staff asked me to sign up a personal insurance and said that it is compulsory to sign !

is that true ? if not how can I make complaint and ask them to cancel the insurance plan ? it costs about rm120 wtf !

I have this just one current account for last few months but just recently i noticed bank raised charges on MEPS withrdraw ($4/time) even i fulfill deposit requirements.
(i) Anyone experience the same as mine?
(ii) Old question again, should I deposit 1.5k on every 1st of month in order to avoid any charges on the aforesaid month?
(iii) Failed to apply SI after complaint made and re-apply at SCB. Anyone experince the same?

Thank you.
