Hi smart savers, I'm interested to be a part of this saving program but a few questions - can I open this acc via walk-in? Went to website yesterday to key in info and was told to wait for appointment to be made. Maybe some staff will call?

Also not sure why but scb has rejected my cc applications twice preciously. No issues with other banks but not sure why kept failing their program. Need to check my ccris but I'm don't have hardcore credit utilisations so I find it funny. Worried this might happen again.

Yes, you need to walk-in. I tried to appointment online previously, waited 2 months but no 1 call me and i manage to walk in open account before MCO.

for CC application i think there is some cooldown period (diff bank might differ length).
eg. apply on March get reject will have cooldown 3 months (any application before July will auto rejected)

The system needs to compute MAB of the month.
MAB = sum of daily balance of the day (cut off time is midnight) divided by number of days of the month

Thank you for your reply. As long as I transfer 3k fresh fund in any date of the calendar month, the MAB interest will start counting by the 1st day of the month right?

MAB starts from 1st till last day of the month.
FF of RM 3k must reach in any day of the month. The earlier the better as your MAB will be higher.

Base interest and bonus interest are applied on the MAB of the month.

So the best practice is always to deposit 3k on the first day of the month to maximize the interest. Am I right?

no.

bonus interest is based on MAB, monthly average balance. once you are valid for this bonus, you will get for whole month, not from the day you qualified.

read the T&C on their mechanism. clearly explained

Use back May 2020 as an example:

QUOTE
Case 1 with MAB of above RM 100k
If your opening balance on the 1st (end day) is RM 100000 and you deposit RM 3k on 2nd, your MAB is RM 102903.2258
If your opening balance on the 1st (end day) is RM 100000 and you deposit RM 3k on 31st, your MAB is RM 100096.7742
So, your base interest and deposit bonus interest will be calculated based on the MAB which is no cap. Difference of interest earned is RM 5.00
But your card spend bonus interest will be capped on the 1st RM 100k, so it won't have effect for MAB above RM 100k.

Case 2 with MAB of below RM 100k
If your opening balance on the 1st (end day) is RM 50000 and you deposit RM 3k on 2nd, your MAB is RM 52903.22581
If your opening balance on the 1st (end day) is RM 50000 and you deposit RM 3k on 31st, your MAB is RM 50096.77419
So, your base interest and deposit bonus interest will be calculated based on the MAB which is no cap. Difference of interest earned is still RM 5.00
As for your card spend bonus interest, the difference of interest earned will be RM 3.58
Total in difference of interest earned will be RM 8.58

Above scenarios are only true if and only if that there's no other transaction happened in between 3rd to 31st and your account activity is static.

Correct me if my calculation is wrong.

Yes, you will entitle 3.6%. Do take note interest given based on monthly average balance, you will get more interest if you make deposit early.

Hi, I am new to this account. Would like to ask, to be qualified of the 2% deposit bonus interest, I need to deposit min 3k fresh fund into this account every month?

Since I don't have 3k savings per month, can I deposit 10k the first month, end of first month I withdraw 3k and deposit back in the 2nd month to get the 2% bonus interest in 2nd month?
