What you guys think about this? It is easy to get up to 4% interest, for 6%, I am not sure what are the insurance and investment offered by SC.

Go for OCBC 360. 4.1% easy.

For me, up to 4% is still easy on SC, so I would try to compare them.

For me, hmm.gif
Con:
- Deposit RM3k per month (tough)
- Invest/Insurance payment (tough)
- Campaign 6% interest end 31 December 2019 (may be renewed).

Pro:
- Spend RM1k by credit card
- Total 6% interest only if meet all 3 conditions
- Debit card withdraw waived at ALL atm in malaysia.
*
Deposit 3k is just instant transfer between two banks, which is free and easy? Correct me if I am wrong.

Just saw it, 100k deposit is tough for me. And I would rather park the money somewhere else.

You need to count how much they charging for unit trust transaction. If 5%, don't think is worth it to transfer your ASM since now ASM gives min 5% returns.

They charge sales charge of 1k monthly for unit trust, but you get 100k 6% of guaranteed interest. Please enlighten me why it is not worth.

I will say that, assuming 100k (Max) in that account, do everything required, will make you 6000 a year (IF ceteris paribus);
end up being only paying RM6300 (12000-6000+300) to have RM12k in unit trust account.

Even if the investment turned sour, you need to lost like 50% in unit trust before seeing red, not to mention such occurence is rare, especially when buying monthly.

Verdict: should they choose to renew next year, I shall move some dough from of ASM into this.

Caveat: What if they made ewallet top up by card ineligible someday in future? what if they choose not to extend this Jan 1?

This is exactly my thought, it might be worth if one keep 100k inside the saving account. But I will wait till next year to find out more on unit trust (esp sales charge) offered by Standard Chartered.
