Yup. But Ambank Islamic efd not interesting compare to Maybank eGIA-i. Interest and capital not guaranteed but people in FD forum have been getting 4% returns every month for 3 months already

Just open it today. The OCBC 360 in Malaysia is abit different compared to Singapore. Credit card payment of other banks is not eligible for 3 bills criteria, dmn..
Like some members in this forum has mentioned, the OCBC credit card is really one of the worst cashback credit card. But i still apply due to the 1.2% interest and i have Great Eastern insurance. I already have a HL Wise card which i always get max cash rebate. So this OCBC card will be my 2nd backup card.

Yes, as long as there's rm500 deposited, you don't even need to wait till month end to withdraw.

Just my opinion. Some people really like the OCBC Platinum Mastercard, my wife included biggrin.gif .

Whilst the 0.5% rebate isn't the most fantastic, the Auto IPP 0% interest split is super helpful with big purchases.

e.g.
Car suspension damaged by Pot Holes mad.gif + Worn Tyre RM 1,850. Paid with Plat Card and we only paid RM308.33 for 6 month

It also helped pay for my Wedding Dinner rclxm9.gif as I split the total RM30,000 over 1 year! Essentially it costed me RM2,500 over 12 months (because of 50% deposit). In terms of helping cash-flow, i don't think there is any other card that can do the same.

Having said that, you have to be very careful with a card like this because if you're the kind that only looks at minimum repayment ........ sweat.gif

My answer would be 3.
(1) ocbc SmartSavers (dump rm1k /month into it with NO WITHDRAWAL -  defeat the purpose of a SA)
For me, I will personally choose RHB bonus savers as my future SA. Less hassle the following year. Any amount, no limit on withdrawal with rates of 2.65%

RHB bonus saver got any term and co? like normal saving just need to bank inRM500 month right?

which means after 1 year only can access the money to get the 2.65%? after 13 month.. we can continue to serve as SA ( normal bank in RM500 but can withdraw any time) or same pattern again?

After the 13th month, RHB bonus saver will become like any other SA. The difference is you will 2.65%p.a interest without needing the need to bank in RM500/month. Simply leaving any amount inside also will get you 2.65%. biggrin.gif there's no limit or penalty for withdrawal (after 13th month)

I have actually opened this account. Personally I use it as sort of an FD as the rates are decent and I like the ability to withdraw my money when I want to. The card spend isn't actually that bad especially if you are a Great Eastern customer. (their Great Eastern Plat Card splits your premium over 12 months)

I did compare it to Maybank's and Hong Leong's offerings but

Maybank Premier Plus - requires RM500,000 balance to earn 2%?  bangwall.gif Might as well dump it all in an FD.

Hong Leong Pay & Save - Paying 15 Bills to get 1.9%? I mean how many bills do you have unless you're running a business  blink.gif
Only thing I can complain about is probably the lack of ATM's. But then again, i guess it forces me to spend less and save. Which is the reason for opening the account in the first case!  rclxm9.gif

For the Great Eastern auto-IPP, does the installment amount still count towards the RM500 spend on credit card part? Or only those insurance premium that is not converted to installment counts?

For Pay & Save account, online IBG is also counted as an online transaction. You can even use it to pay your other banks' credit card for e.g.

i have many savings account here

so (1) serve me the purpose and i like my smart savers very much.. no need headache.. just dump 1 k every month for extra money.

unlike ocbc 360, it has limit for the savings to earn u interest

smartsavers u can put 1 mil 2 mil as u like as there is no limit restrict by bank

If really want high intrerest for big amounts, can consider OCBC Premier Save account,
200K and above - 3.33% (4.00% promo rate)
less than 200K - 1.00%

Well so far I've been spending a little bit over (Avg 600-800) on top of my IPP installment. But I'll check at the end of this month as spending is lower. (Saving for new family member biggrin.gif )

Auto IPP will NOT be count as RM500 credit card spending, stated somewhere in their T&C (I might search for the link if you need..)
For those insurance premium that u didn't convert to installment, YES, it counts.

Got. I just opened this account yesterday and used the fee-free MEPS Instant Transfer to transfer some money out right after through their mobile banking app. The fee-free MEPS Instant Transfer feature on their mobile banking app is the main reason I opened this account biggrin.gif

Do however note that this fee-free MEPS Instant Transfer is just a limited time promotion (fee waived until end of this year). Being a FLIB with such a limited ATM, hopefully they will make the MEPS Instant Transfer free permanently someday.
