For this OCBC e-SmartSavers Account:

I would know whether the following is correct or not.

July 2015: Activate the account by depositing RM 1000. Get 4 % interest per annum on the account balance.

August 2015. Deposit RM 50. Make a withdrawal. The interest is now 0.5 % interest per annum on the account balance.

September 2015: Deposit RM 50, and does not withdraw. The interest is reverted to 4 % interest per annum on the account balance.

Nice, the 4% interest rate for OCBC e-SmartSavers account is on par with that of fixed deposit account, without the need to hold the deposit for more than 6 months (a requirement for fixed deposit).

1) I have OCBC Easisave Saving Account and access to OCBC Internet Banking. If I have opened and activated OCBC e-SmartSavers account, can I access this account via Internet Banking, and can perform deposit and withdraw money to and from e-SmartSavers account; and transfer between my two OCBC saving account?

2) Is it possible that OCBC may revise 4% interest rate, should there be any change to OPR?

3) Is there an annual fee for this account?

1) should be able to transfer between own accounts using Internet Banking.

Screenshot from Internet Banking > Transfer Fund. Note from screenshot: I only have SmartSavers.  sweat.gif

2) OPR change, up to bank's discretion to revise the interest rate.

3) Dont think so. It's an e-account anyway  thumbup.gif

Thanks for the answer, cybpsych. smile.gif

I will treat eSmartSavers as if it is a 1-month eFD, but with 4 % interest rate, as compared to 3.15 % for 1-month eFD.
