Is there any hidden fees for RHB Multicurrency Account? Other than the RM12 debit card fee annually?

Anything about minimum balances, penalty etc?

Can you exchange currency instantly?

E.g. rm3k from MYR to USD, and then immediately back to MYR?

Is the interest rate updated daily or by the second?

If you change on the spot back and forth you lose out on the spread. Don't try to change on the spot back and forth.

It is for Smart Account purposes. Lose RM20 but gain 1.6% bonus interest (if I understand correctly)

1. How do they deduct the RM20? From the MCA or from your linked CASA?

2. Can the account be closed in a year's time without any penalty?

I have done it. In at 4.212 (RM3,001.50), out at 4.184 (RM2,981.10). Lost RM19.95. Hopefully gain back at least triple.

Anyone use RHB MCA without activating debit card? Will they force you to activate?

contestchris i think it won't matter as you'll still get charged annual debit card fees

otherwise, it'll be a good loophole right? order debit card but don't activate. don't get charged and yet enjoy good forex rates

With credit cards, the first annual fee / service tax is only charged at card activation.

I wonder if the same will apply.

It might be a loophole, it's been 4 days and they still didn't charge it, meanwhile I've already done my transaction.

I seem to be missing something here. Why would you buy and then sell?
