Recently, I treat this GIA as my "Savings" account. whenever there is income in my savings account and when it is more than 1k, i will place the whole amount minus min balance to be left in the savings account, into this GIA. Just uplift whenever i need money, whatever left over if more than 1k, place back into GIA.

Hence the m2u saver seems useless already, moreover, the RM250 min balance is really high as compared to RM1 in Maybank savings account. Maybe will keep this m2u saver account for a while, since i will not hit the RM2k min balance to earn the daily interest.
*
I already closed down my Savers account because it seems redundant to me. Need to keep RM 250 balance and only RM 2k can generate interest.

Seems like this is the calling.
I was hesitating to cancel it and keep 2k in m2u saver and the rest into eGIA.
Seems like i've made the 'unwise' decision of keeping the savers account.
*
smile.gif It seems it has more cons to me now after I moved all my funds to GIA-i. Unless one day GIA-i is no longer available, then I will apply back Savers account. tongue.gif
Once I have at least RM 1k, I will place in GIA-i. No use for this Savers account. tongue.gif

? So many of you closed the m2u savers account, what if emergency happens in the midnight or early morning, can't uplift the GIA..wouldn't you be afraid the emergency fund couldn't act in the event of emergency? Or is there any more flexible instrument than GIA?
*
There's still normal savings account, for e.g. Wadiah Savings...
There's CC anyway. I hardly withdraw money for emergency.

hi, i had a few k of fund that saved from angpau money since small and i never used these money instead saving it. Been putting the money in fd for 3 years. Recently came across this eGia and wondering should I move this fund in the eGia. My concern are:

1) I will definitely not using these money. But eGia is mean for flexible
2) eGia just ~0.4% higher (as for now) than the FD rate, but slightly riskier (unstable rate + no PIDM covered) than FD

Sifus, please advise  notworthy.gif

For the risk, I don't see much issue since it's Maybank.

haha, yea, you got it right, maybe i worry too much  doh.gif

After all, you can uplift it at anytime (minimum one day).
I have helped my foreign colleague to put in 6-digit placement, she's aware of the risk but knowing it's Maybank, she has no worry.

Yeah, it's clearly written however I find it weird that they do not show it clearly in m2u, only when one clicks on the information icon.

hmm.gif I checked through M2U app and M2U desktop page but can't see the interest rate? unsure.gif Where should I check? notworthy.gif

I just want to know the latest rate. Last month was 3.5% as what I have seen in GIA-i page on Maybank2U. It should have a new rate recently.

Before you confirm the placement, click "back" and you will see the add into principal option.

How many uplifts can be done per day?

I believe no limit. So far I have uplifted thrice at one time, that's my highest number so far.

Just updated the new Maybank app and saw this:

New features: Push Notification Inbox & e-Fixed Deposit Placement

I don't seem to know how to place eFD using the app. hmm.gif Does anybody know how? blush.gif

I'll pull out my money all together by 1st Aug.

Even at 3%, I still like the flexibility. RM 50,000 the different for that 0.45% works out to be less than RM 30 for the 1.5 months. I'll still go for the flexibility till then. After that, most probably CMF.
*
If I pull out on 1st August, my profit will still be calculated based on daily basis?
