They already gotten experience in Singapore

Don't think it's rookie bank boss 😁

Like someone mentioned
Live international integration Mastercard

Plus it is already tested and proven in Singapore with the same backbone for a year so it is less prone to disruptions or problems unlike recent problems plaguing major banks in Singapore

Of course not πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ some would know about it anyways

Malaysia one probably little later on...

Situation could be same too...

Not much excitement.... How many debit card one needs nowadays πŸ˜”
*
How much debit can offer πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ when it restricted to savings amount and the most is BNPL cashback only

QUOTE(ericlaiys @ Dec 1 2023, 08:40 PM)
well 1% cash back is good debit card. some cc dont give reward on gov transaction or other transaction (depend on cc). if existing cashback cc has exceeded requirement and other retail only give 0.2%. so this is an attractive card.
i dont see any debit card give 1% cashback. it is better than sg debit card give lousy reward when exceed $10
*
1% cashback unlimited is attractive with some restrictions

QUOTE(Natsukashii @ Dec 1 2023, 09:40 PM)
If it's digital version only first, hopefully can use it on apple/google pay

The cashback don't apply to e-wallet topups..
*
Not that simple to sign on Google or Apple Pay πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ even tiger bank took them more than 4 years to just to able to get Apple to agree to on board them

Paynet issue πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ seems like the routing problem

QUOTE(nexona88 @ Dec 1 2023, 10:20 PM)
Money already deducted from HLB, Maybank etc. But not reflected in GX Bank....

Something broken in Duitnow πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ since Dec 1 as their payload cannot handle πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ

QUOTE(Natsukashii @ Dec 1 2023, 10:25 PM)
No support for apple/google pay, that's sad. I tried to go back few pages, I don't see it has been said..

Anyway I mean, since the card has cashback 1%, which is the highlight of the product, and since they release virtual ahead of the physical, there is not much usage where common people can get the cashback. Let's say you go watson, how to use the card in the way to get the cashback.. you can't.

If they let us use for google pay, then even without the physical card, people can still get the cashback.

Of course it's smart decision, but it's the highlight of the product. I'm not asking for them to support e-wallet because I'm aware of it can be loophole, I'm asking for them to support google/apple pay, which is different from e-wallet.

They might suprise you πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ with digital version in GX app which are able to scan with your phone on the terminal so just wait for the launch within coming weeks

QUOTE(ericlaiys @ Dec 1 2023, 10:29 PM)
may be paynet issue??? this is problem when all bank leverage and monopoly by duitnow (owned by paynet)
*
Yes seems like Paynet issue πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ and you have to blame BNM as they are the majority owner of it πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ

Usually month end and early of the month system will breakdown πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ and with digits banks it might make worse

I think too many pple try to register and jam up the system. I registered yesterday, took almost 2 hours for approval. After than bank in RM100, immediately rebate RM20. Registered duitnow get RM8 too. I think must be patience enough to register this new account πŸ˜‚. I immediately chat with GX Bank when I submitted my application and no instant approval. Thought my ID not clear or what. The CS very patient to ask me wait. πŸ˜‚

2 hours considered fast because if you compared with Rize is even worse πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ

QUOTE(Syie9^_^ @ Dec 2 2023, 03:03 PM)
Let's approach this from a different angle. If you're aiming for a consistent daily return of 100.00, and assuming a fixed interest rate, you can determine the initial deposit needed using the formula for daily interest:

\[ \text{Daily Interest} = \frac{\text{Principal Amount} \times \text{Annual Interest Rate}}{\text{Number of Days in a Year}} \]

Given that you want a daily interest of 100.00 and assuming a 365-day year, let's solve for the principal amount:

\[ 100.00 = \frac{\text{Principal Amount} \times 0.03}{365} \]

Solving for the principal amount:

\[ \text{Principal Amount} = \frac{100.00 \times 365}{0.03} \]
\[ \text{Principal Amount} \approx 1,216,666.67 \]

Therefore, to receive a clean 100.00 return daily at a 3% annual interest rate, you'd need an initial deposit of approximately 1,216,666.67 units of your currency. Achieving such high daily returns typically involves high-risk investments, and finding guaranteed returns at this level can be extremely challenging through traditional financial instruments. Always be cautious and seek professional advice before pursuing investments promising exceptionally high returns.

what operating cost. Digital bank structure suppose be lean and agile.

NOT backward.

Digital banks still got operating costs πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ like infrastructure and customer servicing costs πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ the only thing is that digital banks doesn’t have its physical presence costs and low manpower costs

No such thing as free lunch πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ as even Tech Giants like Mag7 has costs running the business so nothings is free of costs otherwise why do you think there is subscription fee for certain services πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ particularly premium service

The only free lunch you can get is the unlimited 1% cash back debit on spending with some exceptions hence that is where GX is smart in capturing the market unlike TnG πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ which gives you points that is expiring

Not the best bank πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ but probably best digital bank

They got first mover advantage while the other 4 wait and see

Boost should be quite soon after these because they are supposed to launch by this year end

mmm you seem knowledge-able in this niche.

What I foresee is there is too many "app/fintech-service/etc" in a small ecosystem in Malaysia. And bank negara does seem to "purge" any of them via consolidation.
*
In fact not too many πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ look at the EWallet providers how many of them have survive when they issued to about 10 providers

In fact the size is right with 5 digital banks πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ as there are too many conventional banks around which BNM will not and should interfere because it’s survival of the fittest

BNM will only steps in last resort to force via merger or consolidation as they did before with major anchor banks buying which is why you would see big 4 banks in Malaysia now

And if it’s app doesn’t means it is FinTech πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ as it is only FinTech if it licensed and able to do monetary transactions through the app with licensed by BNM with different categories

For example Boost, TnG Digital and Grab under emoney license πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ while GX and the upcoming BoostRHB are actual digital bank license and you can actually store money like a conventional bank except it is digital run bank with proper PIDM protection up to 250k

Do they still use cash at all?

All major banks supports cardless?

Like if I go MBB, I can also withdraw cardless from CIMB acc?
*
Yes as some places still do πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ particularly in small towns and Asian shops

You still need a debit card because you can do cash out from retailers and used to be quite high at AUD500 but now major retailers are restricting it at AUD200 because of high current cash rate

Why they don't use 2 series (2221-2720)

Because the backend need to be integrated again as the currently existing only accept 51 to 55 series

Don’t forget some loyalty merchant backend need to be recoded again πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ

Hi guys. Successfully registered for GX Bank today, got my RM 28 "gift" as well.

For the withdrawal process, is it instantaneous? How long does it take for money to appear in the receiving bank?

The official FAQ does not mention anything about withdrawing money...

Thanks for info.

Using DuitNow so definitely instant πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ

QUOTE(aeiou228 @ Dec 5 2023, 03:03 PM)
Feels delighted to see daily interest credited at 11.59pm every night. Very likely a 3% p.a. daily compound interest at the effective rate of 3.05% p.a.
I guess no other bank offers such feature, the nearest is interest calculate daily but credited monthly ( monthly compound interest).

Conventional banks would not offer such interest crediting feature πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ as it would detriment to their NII πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ otherwise how they got gonna make more money from their customers
