wow, they charged RM8.48 annual fee without permission onto my true transact account which has 0.00 balance, now I am owing them RM8.48, will they sue me for bankruptcy?

I better check my account. Since finding out about eGIA-i, I never log into ambank. Last week went to ambank to change atm card, asked them still free? They told me is free.
Maybe yours is because a you are a "priority customer"? brows.gif laugh.gif tongue.gif

Just file a complain. If no reply, file to BNM.

Just called them minutes ago, the dude over the phone informed me that in order to keep the account active, the fee is charge 1st, refund later ,
I was told to transfer some money into transact acc, let em charge it, so that it can be reversed.

Should I trust him?
*
No need. Just keep your account rm0. Same thing happen to me. Ambank worker told me cannot leave true transect empty. Need to put like rm20. I said all this while kosong je, nothing happen also.

Going close truesavers and hop over to SCB for the free IBFT.

That's why I am closing my account. No point paying so much for an account with RM0.00 inside when JustOne does the same thing.

Is it refer to Just One Personal Account (Current + Saving pair same like True) ?
Looking for replacement for free IBG / IBFT

1. Any annual fee on the debit card?
2. RM1500 fresh fund requirement is it required for free online IBFT ?
   I will use this as a jumper account to pay my multiple credit card, IBG inward then IBFT out in same day. will this consider meeting the RM1500 requirement? (my monthly cc bill usually > rm1500)
3. What is the minimum amount can keep in that account? RM0 or RM1?
Thank you very much. Boss  notworthy.gif
*
Yes. You will get a current and savings account.

1. No.
2. That one only if you want to earn their interest. Good move as it's unlimited free IBFT and IBG. But who will use IBG when there's a free IBFT whistling.gif
3. RM0

Thanks.
Both IBG and IBFT is free, right?
And there is no special requirement to enjoy free IBG and IBFT? (I dun care about that interest since i use GIA-I)
Some bank are not in IBFT list so have to use IBG.

Any minimum deposit to open the account?
*
Yup. Both free. Nope no special requirement. They will tell you min amount to open is RM1500 but I managed to opened with RM0 then deposit RM200 inside. After that, I withdraw the RM200 leaving RM0.

I stay in cheras, the closest SCB branch to me is the SCB Saadiq.
Can we open Just one personal account there?

I saw this branch is not listed in the drop down in the Online Applications.

If I apply online, do I need to visit branch or everything can be done online (like deposit the minimum deposit, delivery of the debit card)
*
No. If Saadiq will be islamic version of Just One. Not sure if have the same benefits or not. *personal experience*. For me, I better not risk it that (not getting the free IBFT/IBG) so I decided to go to the conventional SCB.
Never tried online before. So cannot comment.

Thank you for the information.

I need another Ambank saving account, to replace my True Savers and True Transact account.

Which Ambank saving account is better? Ambank Basis Saving Account, or Basis Saving Account-I?

Why do you ambank account. Other bank offer better benefits.

The only ATM near my house is Ambank ATM.

My saving is in Maybank eGIA, similar to most of you all.

Recommend you use SCB for withdrawing instead of ambank. Just need to put rm1500 inside SCB Just One (not sure SA/current). After that just transfer it out since SCB JustOne have free IBFT and IBG.

I already raised this issue and as a case for them to look into. Now they are considering and deciding to charge or not charge.

I tell them, I use it as an ATM only. In this case, you want to charge me annual fee for the functionality of the Debit. Can I cancel it? Well, canot. So why I get charge for this. Talking quite long on the phone, wasted quite alot of my time talking to a noob operator.

Well, as for now, you guys just wait la. If still charging I will close the account. I use to for transaction only.
*
Bro already black and white. Of course they will charge. Better I close it before they change their mind some more. After all I never use true any more.

Yes, It's black and white after I saw in their page. But we are forced to use their debit card which I never use it also.

Do you know you can make your monthly payment FOC using the transact account? I put some big amount in there and pay my bills and credit cards from other bank. Anyway, 10sen is money also.
*
If you want the free one, go for Standard Chartered JustOne. Free IBFT, Free card. Yes 10 sen is money that is why I open Just One (it have free IBFT which is worth > free IBG)

Went to the branch to ask how they define the '1st year " fee waiver  ie 1st year from issue of the new ATM cum debit card or 1st year from the date the account was open ?

BM also not sure, so called HQ , after long time talking on the phone, she said... 1st year free is from date of opening of account . So, for me, fee will be chargeable by early Nov when it will considered as going into year 2.

So, yeah, going to close account tomorrow.
*
Well seeing that's the way, good luck charging me with rm0 inside. Lol. I won't be able to make it back in time to close account so I decided to leave it empty

I thought you need to maintain min RM20 in the True save account which is linked to True Transact.
If so, they can deduct from the true save acct
i tried withdraw via atm or online..die die must maintain the RM20.
*
Just transfer to true transact, then transfer it out. That's how I make both of them RM0.

Ok, both of you are talking about JustOne Personal Account (https://www.sc.com/my/save/savings-justone-personal.html).

1. So, does Standard Chartered offer Basic Saving Account? Correct me if I am wrong, perhaps, this Basic Saving Account does not have free IBG and IBFT.
2. How does free IBG and IBFT work? Which one is correct?
a) When we use SC online website to transfer money via IBG or IBFT, no fee is being charged. Or,
b) IBG or IBFT fee is being charged, at the point of transfer. But, the fee will be refunded, by the end of the month.
3. Do we need to pay annual fee for JustOne Personal Account, if we choose to have the debit card? 
4. What is the minimum amount of money needed to open this saving account?
5. What is the minimum balance that must be maintained for this saving account, without incurring any penalty fee?
6. When I open JustOne Personal Account, I will have both JustOne Personal Savings Account and JustOne Personal Current Account, with separate account number, right?
7. If I only need free IBFT without free ATM MEPS withdrawal, I do not need to transfer RM 1500 to JustOne Personal Current Account, right?
Thank you for the information.  rclxms.gif

1. All banks have that (Basic Saving Account). From what the bank officer told me, most of Standard Chartered accounts have free transfer. But I choose JustOne as it is mentioned in their features.

2a) When we use SC online website to transfer money via IBG or IBFT, no fee is being charged.

3. Nope. Account is FOC even with debit card.

4. They told me RM1500 but I managed with RM200. Someone even managed with RM0. rclxms.gif

5. RM0

6. Yes. Thats's right

7. No need. Just transfer money from JustOne Personal Savings Account > JustOne Personal Current Account and IBFT out from there.

Thank you for your informative reply, AIYH and Ramjade.

1. So, we cannot open just JustOne Personal Savings Account, right? In other words, it is a combo account, similar to Ambank True Savers and True Transact Account.
2. Which account should I transfer money from, to get free IBG and IBFT? JustOne Personal Savings Account, or JustOne Personal Current Account, or both of them?
3. JustOne Personal Current Account is not really current account, right? In other words, we do not get a chequebook for this current account.
4. As long as we keep JustOne Personal Account active (at least one transaction per year), there is no other fee we should pay, right?

Thanks again.  thumbup.gif
*
1. Yup. It's a combo.

2. To be safe JustOne Personal Current Account. I forgot already whether the JustOne Personal Savings Account have free IBG/IBFT.

3. Actually it is. You can get a cheque book if you asked for it. shocking.gif The bank worker asked me "Do you want a chequebook for your account?" shocking.gif

4. That's right.

For real current account, a half yearly service fee of RM10.60 is levied on current accounts, if the minimum monthly average balance falls below RM1,000 from 1 Jan to 30 Jun and 1 Jul to 31 Dec.

I hope that the half yearly service fee is not applicable to JustOne Personal Current Account.

Yeah, I agree with you, Ramjade. We only want free IBFT. Getting a chequebook we do not want is pointless. And, it is risky, if we accidentally lose the chequebook.

Don't worry. As mentioned by others it is free.

I could be wrong, but if I transfer money from JustOne Personal Savings Account via IBFT, I will not get free IBFT. Perhaps, as Ramjade said, transfer money from JustOne Personal Current Account via IBFT, to get free IBFT.

To be safe la. I never experiment with IBFT from JustOne Personal SA.
