Just some sample below:

1)Base Interest:

Daily balance x base interest rate x 1/365

Example:
Date: 1st Jan 2020
Daily balance after 9.45pm: RM1000
Base interest rate: 0.20% pa.

You get RM1000 x 0.002 x 1/365 = 0.00548 (roughly amount).
RM0.00548 is only base interest amount for 1st Jan 2020 (1 day only).

If for month of Jan 2020 which have 31 days,
- no spending, you get RM0.00548 x 30 days = RM0.1644 for month of Jan 2020.
- yes spending on 6th Jan 2020 for RM500, you get (RM0.00548 x 5 days) + (RM0.00274 x 26 days) = RM0.0986 for month of Jan 2020.
2)Bonus Interest:

Condition:
(A)Spend by Debit card or credit card
(B)Saving
©Bill payment

(A) or (B) or ©: Average Daily Balance x Bonus Interest Rate x (Number of days in month  / Number of days in year)

Example:
Condition: (A)
Opening Balance after 9.45pm 1st Jan 2020: RM1000
Date of Spent: 6th Jan 2020
Amount of spent: RM500
Bonus Interest rate: 1.3% pa.
Number of days in Jan 2020: 31 days
Number of days in Year: 365

Daily average Balance:
1st to 5th day : RM1000 x 5 (No spending)
6th to 31st day: RM500 x 26 (RM500 balance due to spend RM500 on 6th Jan 2020)
Total 31 days: RM5000 + RM13000 = RM18000
Daily average balance: RM18000 / 31 days = RM580.65

(A) fulfillment of 1.3%: RM580.65 x 0.013 x (31/365) = RM0.64
3)Conclusion:

If fulfill all (A) + (B) + © + Base Interest for Jan 2020:
= RM0.64 + RM0.64 + RM0.64 + RM0.0986
= RM2.02 (roughly round off to 2 decimal places)

RM2.02 is the total interest that been fulfilled for Jan 2020.
RM0.0986 will be received by 31st Jan 2020.
RM0.64 x 3 will be received by 2nd of Feb 2020.

The figure above is just a rough estimation only due to 2 decimal places.

Thanks bro, so there is no need to fulfill the Deposit/Pay/Spend criteria in the beginning of the month(told by CS) so that the balances after that will enjoy all 3 bonus interest.
*
Fulfill any days within the month, i guess avoid last 5 days of the current month in case of late/delay posting date.

My June bill payments got sidetracked so was worried couldn't get 3rd bonus interest after reading other commentors.
Didn't pay CC bills, IFBT once to 3rd party account not under my name and my other bank account repeatedly.
Glad to see I managed to get all 3 bonus interest.
*
I did fund transfer to pay credit card from another bank, also pay my own ocbc credit card and 2 fund transfers to other bank account and still entitled for the pay bill bonus interest.

I do not hit the 3rd pillar for debit/credit card spend of RM500.

Is it somehow possible to use my debit card to pay my credit card from other bank? Any creative way to hit this?
*
You can hit RM500 mark, if you use Ewallet to pay for daily expense (petrols, meals, utility bills, phone bills, etc).

Meaning, instant transfer or duitnow to other bank savings account is counted too?
*
For me, instant transfer/duitnow is yes.

I have not tried duitnow although instant transfer is re branded as duitnow. But check the term and condition below.

Term and condition:
https://www.ocbc.com.my/assets/pdf/Accounts...unt_TnC_ENG.pdf

4.3. Pay Bonus Interest
A minimum of 3 Bill Payments must be made from your OCBC 360 Account within the calendar month to be eligible for the Pay Bonus
Interest. This includes payment via standing instruction to your OCBC home loan facility and/or retail payment channel of OCBC Online
Banking to:
(a) your OCBC/OCBC Al-Amin home loan facility; or
(b) any account with any bank or financing institution other than the Bank and OCBC Al-Amin Bank Berhad (Company No.
200801017151 / 818444-T); or
© any participating billing organisations; or
(d) payment by Interbank GIRO/DuitNow conducted through OCBC Online Banking, but excluding any payment by the
Financial Process Exchange (FPX)/DuitNow QR platforms
.
Multiple payments within the calendar month to the same merchant/payee/account/billing organization shall be deemed as one Bill
Payment. For example:
(a) multiple payments to the same home loan facility account; or
(b) multiple payments to the same participating billing organisation, unless each payment is uniquely identified to a different
account; or
© multiple payments to the same account with any bank or financing institution.

how long does it  take to reflect in your CC acct?I scared terlepas due date for CC.Ive been trying to pay onn time to get interest reduced for CC hehe
when i pay and specify CC payment in OCBC online, then it auto sets "Payment type" as interbank GIRO
is that correct or i can change it to duitnow without affecting payment?
*
It depends on which bank that the credit card belong. Example: RHB, Public bank, Standard chartered reflected next day. For Interbank GIRO, reflected after 3 working days.

You can always change the payment type to Duitnow/ instant transfer.

Is this the latest interest calculation?

Here’s how you can earn up to 2.15% interest

0.05% - Base Interest (based on current Board Rate for Savings)
0.70% - Deposit minimum RM500 per month
0.70% - Pay any 3 UNIQUE bills with your OCBC 360 Account through OCBC Online Banking (e.g. transfer to OCBC credit facilities/ JomPAY/ Interbank GIRO / DuitNow) every calendar month.
0.70% - Spend minimum RM500 on your OCBC Credit Card

QUOTE(MGM @ Jul 24 2021, 10:16 AM)
Just realised that Daily Transaction limit for Funds Transfer is only rm30k. doh.gif SCB PSA is rm50k.
*
But why quote the above calculation post? Was it because of not able to fulfill one of the condition due to the daily transfer limit today? Is it urgent? How about do it tomorrow?

I only got credit for 2 bonus pillars. I spent more than rm500 on debit card, so should be getting credit for 3 bonus pillars, no?

Been always getting the save and pay bonus pillars, so no issue there I think.
*
Just some highlights,

1) Are you OCBC 360 saving account a joint account?

2) Pay 3 different bills
Do you use OCBC 360 saving account to pay 3 different bills/ fund transfer? I read you past comment, you paid include Standing instructions for loan repayment and OCBC Credit card payment. So it is counted as 2 payments, what are the thrid payment? (FPX not counted).

3) Deposit minimum RM500
I guess you already did deposit in July 2021.

4) Spend minimum RM500 with OCBC Credit card or Debit card.
When is the posting date of your spending?

Checked with OCBC. It is because FPX not counted for the payment pillar. I used FPX to pay Syabas bill via the app. Damn

You can also make fund transfer to 3 other bank saving accounts (not OCBC).

Isn't the recurring transfer charging you an amount every month though?

Bank charge? So far, no. I do not think there is a bank charge for scheduled (do it yourself) recurring fund transfer from OCBC 360 saving account to other bank accounts/credit cards.
