interesting, got to check it out.
transfer from truesaver to truetransact will consider as a withdrawal count for the 3x limit?
*
Unfortunately yes. Any transfer/withdrawal from Truesavers whether by atm or ibg is counted as 1 withdrawal. So you need to plan carefully with Truesavers. Best is use a cc and pay off using Truesavers. That way, only 1x withdrawal

I having multiple CC to pay end of month, and cash top up to wallet end of month.

so the strategy here will be transfer total amount (CC1 + CC2 + cash needed) to truetransact (1x count)
truetransact pay to CC1 and CC2 for free IBG (2x transaction here)
truetransact withdrawal cash to my wallet (1x ATM here)

then i will only used for 1x withdrawal from truesaver.
is this valid? tongue.gif

Yup. But truetransact got no interest. Recommend you to call up your card customer service and change payment date so you can "synchronised" all your payment. Tell them it is easier for you as you pay bills and stuff like that one shot. If customer service cannot help, go to bank and ask to change payment date.

Lazy to read from top of the page.
How much money for floating you have? If always got rm5000, why not use only FD as savings account?
I'm doing this using Maybank's online FD, now is an Aspire member also which gives slightly more interest when it matures.
The lowest interest rate are 3.1-3.15%pa which still higher than all this.
Every month I'm sure got 1 FD matures, so I make money first before spend it. Now the interest gained are more than enough to pay my monthly bills and 350g of my son's milk.

Better use maybank Islamic efd. The only efd to give 3.25% for 1 month tenure. Why give the bank free makan of 0.1%?

all my credit card is having the same payment date, no worry.

is there any minimum amount need to keep on the truetransact account ?
for the 5x ATM withdrawal in any MEPS ATM, it mention it will credited to truetransact as a rebate 1st of following month.
so i think that should be a minimum to keep in truetransact account for them to deduct this fee.

cklimm so not worth it. Need to deposit RM500, spend RM500 using ocbc cc. Better I use hl wise cc which can give 10%. Unless ocbc can come out with a cc which can give 10%.

Still cannot beat ambank Truesavers with no conditions. Ocbc not sincere. mad.gif

Hey guys, OCBC is now offering a brand new savings account,
interest rate up to 4.1%p/a, upon fulfilling some requirements
*
4.1% p.a for a saving account?!

those requirements must have some catch to get you into not eligible.

but i say its pretty good cause even right now highest fixed deposit is only 4.26% by HLB with PIDM coverage.

I supposed all saving accounts comes with PIDM coverage?

I just checked, Ambank Truesavers is still 2.8% rclxms.gif

http://www.truebyambank.com/trueproducts/Pages/index.aspx

Why?
QUOTE
- No need to topup every month unlike OCBC biggrin.gif  (even if you didn't topup this month, any money inside will be still be given 2.8% p.a.)
- No minimum amount required unlike M2Savers rclxms.gif  (M2Savers require you to have >=RM2k, then only they will give interest of 2.25%)
- High interest at 2.8% thumbup.gif  (You tell me where got any other bank account can give you this level of interest without any T&C? Unless you are VIP customer)
- Free IBG
- Withdrawing of any money will not affect the interest unlike OCBC rclxms.gif  (OCBC eSmartsavers will drop interest to 0.5% for that month doh.gif )

For that OCBC, if you don't fulfilled that condition, you won't get 4%. Why would you want to charge RM500 to a OCBC CC with no benefits at all? shakehead.gif I better go for HL Wise CC and pay off using M2U or AMbank.

So, have you been keeping the balance in True Transact account as RM 0 for several months, without any penalty fee being charged to your account?

For me, I just keep it as RM 1. Look like I may follow your footstep in keeping it as zero. brows.gif

No charged. 3-4 months already at RM0. rclxms.gif rclxm9.gif Because the TrueTransact account is a virtual account. Customer service and bank worker told me OK to keep at zero.

Nope. Never have the need to do so. My principle is always withdraw from the same bank atm to prevent additional charges (I do not let banks earn extra free money from me) smile.gif . What I do is transfer the money when I need it to CIMB/maybank bank and then withdraw from CIMB/maybank atm. No charges. smile.gif
