Just put in a 5 figure deposit under eGia today. Decided as I needed the flexibility of the funds to pay credit card & etc. Usually I'll just park the funds in the isavers account but this looks more promising.

Duration I selected 3 months but I guess it doesn't really matter right since I plan to uplift in 2 weeks to pay for credit card.

Thanks for replying.

Was bit worried with the PIDM part initially but I guess since it's short term placement doesnt really matter. And besides that, my deposit is nothing compared to those 6 figures amount.

Just wondering maybank wont stop this GIA thing as we are like misusing it by uplifting prior to maturation?

It depends on when you do the upliftment.

Less than 3 months - no profit will be paid

Above 3 months - 50% of total profit amount accrued will be paid
It is actually a feature of the product, one of its selling points compared to FD. So early upliftment cannot be considered as misusing it.

I see. Thanks for clarifying.
