RHB bonus saver account good?

BEFORE the interest rate change, this is the BEST saving accounts in the market as you only need to work on the condition for the first year. Second year onwards you do not need to do anything more to enjoy 2.65% base rate; but now it is only 1.4%.

i see, any recommendations?

Yeah, for within RHB, try their Smart Accout. With a few clicks on RHB Now, you will get your account opened in no time as you already have banking relationship with RHB. But remember, fulfilled the save portion first before you can qualified for Spend, Pay & Invest.

Anyone have rhb smart account?

Opened one online not long after it launched back then. But only this month start to try to hit the spend and pay bills tiers. Save tier just chip in and chip out RM 2K will do. Reload BIGPAY counted as spend via debit card. One thing i like the most is they got tiers progress indicator, showing you what criteria you had achieved for the month.

Can open online? Shall we need to walk in to branch after that?

Now bigpay top up limit is reducing. Is there any other way for spending purpose with dr card?

What is the minimum payment amount for bill?
*
BIGPAY debit card reload is still unlimited, reducing limit is on credit card reload.

Can open online in no time, just few simple steps, no need go branch later on IF AND ONLY IF you are an existing customers with RHB Bank with RHB Now access and of course an existing debit card.

Pay bill no state minimum amount from the FAQ, but for the first time this month I try RM 20 - RM 30 each, next month plan reducing the amount.

But the most important thing to note is you MUST qualify for SAVE portion before SPEND and PAY.

Hi, if we have atm card for saving account and internet banking, is it when we open rhb smart account, can it link with existing atm card or have to apply new atm card? How does it work to tag smart account as main account for atm card for spending purpose?
*
My experience is it should auto switch to Smart Account for spending after your account is active. Debit Card is the same piece, one card can be tagged with few accounts, all banks are the same. However, do a test with small amount spending first to confirm before you spend further.

Could i check with you, last time when you opened it. Is it you debit card was tagged to smart account immediately or have to wait certain day only they tag it for u? Previously your existing account is saving account? As per RHB officer, saving account and current account are different product, so cant tag both together in one card, must apply separate card and have go walk to branch.

My original account is RHB Bonus Savers. Can't really remembered it already as few years liao. As far as my memory served me corrrectly, it is auto, maybe you wait a few days. And test a small amount online purchase a week or two later see whether they deduct the funds from which account.
