i dun quite get this statement. if you are referring to any payout from the account during the month. maintaning 100,500 would do. and 500 is used for payments, etc. wouldnt that still consider 100k and keep that in for 12 months and still benefit from the 4.1% i.e. 4,100 by end of the year?

why need 200k ?
*
The person who wrote this probably misinterpretated the OCBC 360 Account Interest Calculator at their webpage. Certainly 100k average is enough to catch the full bonus reward, 200k just brings you more of the shitty 0.2% base interest.

I wonder if we will still get the 4.1 for January. Actually correct would be to follow the conditions at the beginning of the month. But we all know how banks behave cool2.gif

Anyone who had ocbc 360 at previous OPR revision (rate revised on 9th May 2019) can check, base interest rate follow daily balance (8 days 0.5% and 23 days 0.2%) while bonus interest use the revised rate (1.3% instead of 1.2%) for the entire monthly average balance (sum of daily balance for entire month divide number of days in the month)
*

Checked my bank statements, but realized that I did not care too much about the 360 account in May 2019. Just in June I banked in enough to fill up the 100k and left it there until NOW.

Actually I thought they should give 21 days notice as per the 360 account tnc quoted below:

6.2. The Bank may, at its sole and absolute discretion, after giving 21 calendar days’ notice, modify or vary these terms and conditions by adding or supplementing, removing or withdrawing, suspending or otherwise changing any of these terms and conditions and benefits, including, but not limited to, the Base Interest, Bonus Interest, Board Rate, Bonus Interest Rates, Maximum Average Balance, etc. Such modification or variation may be notified to you via announcements posted at branch, the Bank’s website or in the mass media and the notice will take effect from the date set out in the notice.

Well, May 9 they kept the 21 calender day deadline. This time not, let´s see what will happen.

And certainly they break their own rules and cheat us!

Only 97.67 bonus interest instead of 110.41!

Let's all throw or interest together, hire a lawyer and sue OCBC biggrin.gif

Well, cutting RM 38.22 per customer is not much, but when you steal 38.22 from 20´000 people it is a lot. They just hope that people will ignore. But certainly I will complain to BN also.

How come effective date is 29 January 2020 become 01 January 2020?  cry.gif  cry.gif

It is not about 1 Jan, it is about this:

29 January plus 21 calender days is NOT 1 February! If they wanted to change the TnC for January bonus interest it would have had to be done before 11 January.

Definitely not 4.1% before 29th, they give less than that from 1-29th.

Absolutely. They cut the interest exactly 11.54 %.

Which is the difference between 1.30% and 1.15%.

I guarantee you one thing, they would have not done this in Singapore. But they think they can do it with us. Let´s give them a lesson and report to BN. So BN can teach them that 21 calender days are 21 calender days in Malaysia also.

The bank makes the rules, not so much a question of fair or unfair.

And they even mention the bonus interest in 6.2.!

If there would be written "after giving 2 calender days notice", OK, nothing we can do about, but I am looking forward to hear why they ignore their own rules.

How you can write something is the field "Details"? If one chooses "Deposit Promotion" it disappears biggrin.gif

got a call - basically they are insisting

1) interest rates change due to BNM OPR rate change is not subjected to 21 days notice
*


If any of us get a call from them with this answer please ask "WHERE in your TnC does it state that you not need to follow your own TnC clause 6.2 in a case of OPR rate change?"

In the TnC they don´t mention "Bank Negara" or "OPR" at all! What a cheap excuse.

This is in accordance with Bank Negara Malaysia’s Guidelines on Product Transparency and Disclosure (Schedule 1, Section 2.3 (b) Change in interest rates) which states that:
• The Financial Service Provider (FSP) should notify customers of any revision to deposit rates.
• The change notice must be prominently displayed at the FSP’s business premises and website.
This has nothing to do with the "after giving 21 calendar days’ notice" rule OCBC set up by themselves. While other banks, PBB as mentioned, do not have a clause like this and indeed can change their interest rates with immediate effect.

Yeah, we are tiny fish who don´t have the ressources of OCBCs legal department.

But for exactly this reason there is this wonderful system that you can complain to BN and not need are lawyer or spend one ringgit.

As ordinary premier better expect nothing. There are many hidden levels between ordinary premier and super private.

Anyway, bnm emailed me a reply and ocbc will have an official reply in 14 days. Bnm will check and reply accordingly if necessary.

You just wrote E-Mail to bnmtelelink@bnm.gov.my, right?

I am ready to go also, but still need to wait for OCBCs answer to my complaint. Guess it takes so long because they are having a lot of complaints right now biggrin.gif

This is terrible. That means OCBC is just giving 3.6% for the whole of January. At the least, OCBC should have given 4.1% for the first 28 days.

No, this would not be according to TnC at all. Would be another break of their TnC. You cannot ask for a solution that is technically impossible. Please only apply for the full bonus interest for January 2020 according to the clause 6.2

All other claims are wasted time.

He's informing that there's no violation from OCBC side.
No further action required.

He is not saying this, he is ignoring the problem completely in his answer that not fits to the question if OCBC is allowed to break their own TnC.

does this mean they given us the interest they owe us?

No.

This is basically covering backside for future, since they realise we have a point.

Sad but true. That they changed the clause now just confirms they xxxxx us in January. I am pretty sure they will have to pay the interest to the few who officially complained at BN, but they delay this and so 99,99% of customers will not get the interest.

As I said long before, they would have never tried this in Singapore, but in Malaysia they think, they get away with it. Again: Sad but true. I had more trust in Bank Negara sad.gif

At least I never bought any investment products from them so they earned no commission from me. Only lost RM 40 interest and moved away from them.
