Actually serious qtn. If versa can give 4.3% after fees and deductions. Why banks cannot give more then that?
Because Banks are paying the shareholders 1st and followed with higher costs to run a bank platform 🤦♀️ and expenses like branches and officers which causes it to give you less because of expenses
If you read the fund information properly 🤦♀️ the MMF itself only returning 3.54% and Versa-I is 2.91% last month while the shortfall to 4.3% is funded through Versa itself coupled trailer fee rebates from AHAM
You shouldn’t be scared 🤦♀️ because there is no way and not so easy from them to collapse from such promo because it has been accounted for and the limit of the promo is so low that is only up to 30k

Maybe brick and mortar costs higher. Also versa might not be making profit. Iirc hk digital banks all loss making until now.
Yes physical banks expenses is high and they only make more money when interest rate are low
You cannot compared 🤦♀️ to HK digital banks because small population over there while highly saturated mass market with high cost of living over there while the HNW are banking with physical banks unlike Malaysia whereby population is 7times higher with high penetration rate
Don’t forget HK monetary policy are following lockstep with the Fed because of HKD is being pegged to the dollar in this high inflationary era
