is the true saver 2.8% follows the 1 month fd rate and could change every time the rate changes?

It's fixed at 2.8%

I don't know. Maybe you can point to me where did they say they will revise the rate if there's changes in opr?

I have two questions for the eFD:

i) To transfer money for eFD, transfer from Transact or Saver account directly? Will it calculated as one of the 3x free withdrawals?
ii) I supposed I choose for the deposit-i 1 month if I want the Islamic eFD?
*
i) I think can transfer from either one but if you transfer from Saver account, it counts towards one of the 3x free withdrawal. For Savers Account, always remember that as long as money goes out from that account, it's considered as withdrawal.

ii) islamic eFD coz rate slightly higher. Lol

1) True. Any money going out is counted as withdrawal except if done over the counter.

2)Sure or not? hmm.gif Ambank both Conventional and Islamic efd is 3.15%. Difference is one need min rm5k. The other need min rm1k only. The only bank I know which give higher rates for their Islamic eFD is maybank.
*
Oops. Sorry for overlooking. If 1-2 months, then both give the same rate. If 3 months and above, then islamic eFD gives a higher interest rate

Thread seems a bit dead but would like to ask a question. So you have to manually link your debit card to either Savers or Transact because I'm a bit confused on this thing. Or is the debit card automatically linked to Transact account? So if it is linked then all spending will be from that account?
*
Debit card is automatically linked to Transact Account

Would like to reconfirm the following:
- 3 withdrawal limit is impose on True Saver account only
- unlimited free withdrawals and online-IBG from True Transact account.

To make full use of these accounts n high interest n without incurring any fees:
-put funds in Saver Account to get d high inetrest,
-plan to have max three transfer/withdrawal to Transact account per month then use the Transact accounts to do online-IBG for payment.

I got a shock when I looked into my TRUE accounts this morning when fees of rm5+$0.30 was charged into my acc.

So the 3 withdrawal limit is counted on the total of both accounts?
*
I have no idea why you get charged too. Probably should call the bank to enquire more.

I have this problem as well. Only noticed this morning (it was debited on 25th March). Called and confirmed with CS I have only 3 withdrawals only so far and the third withdrawal was charged RM5.00 + RM0.30 GST. I think they screwed up the system. They better refund it or else another report to BNM.  mad.gif  mad.gif

Have to go to the home branch to ask for reversal of the fees. Was told of system screwup where the transaction counts was for feb&march.

Good info there.

Do you think Ambank online banking user interface is outdated and not user friendly?
Fund transfer is too rigid and kind of confusing for first time user.
*
+1. Some options are not so obvious and require too many clicks to access them doh.gif

Close at 1/5 or after that so that you get the interest for April. smile.gif If you close before 30/4, I don't think you get any interest.

Can probably lay out the pros and cons of each account?

My strategy as well. Anything more than rm1k, I'll put it in mbb gia-i. Now still looking for somewhere to park funds for less than rm1k.
Might probably park at ocbc smart Savers, and if that month there's withdrawal, I'll just transfer the balance all over to truesavers to enjoy at least 1.8%. Anybody has better idea? The rhb one looks not too great. You need a year to get 2.65% and monthly topup of Rm500. Who knows when you've just reached that 2.65% mark, they decide to change it to a lower rate


Edit: Just after I posted this, I thought of this. Why not just make mbb gia-i as a savings account? If there's fund less than rm1k, I'll just uplift one of my placement, then make another placement which consists of original fund + whatever that's less than rm1k. Lol.

Precisely my though after reading the explanation by cybpsych.  biggrin.gif No need to have all the hasle of going to RHB and opening the RHB Bonus Saver. The downside is if Maybank suddenly cut the eGIA-i interest (too many people apply, and withdraw early - they lose money - like what happen to M2Cards), we have no where to run. I still think RHB Bonus Savers is good as backup (the account have always been around for a few years already). But RM6k which I can put into amanah saham just to chase the 2.65%p.a is not worth it in my opinion.  cry.gif

cybpsych gave me the idea of creating multiple RM1k placement and use those 1k placement upon needed.

Glad we could come to a conclusion.  thumbup.gif

cybpsych good job.  :thumbsup:  rclxm9.gif notworthy.gif

If mbb decides to cut the rate, then I'll do my combo of ocbc smart Savers and ambank truesavers

Nope but what you can do is uplift the 50k and make a new placement of 40k
