61 x 11 refers to 10 pockets + main account? The main account also eligible for interest?

Can anyone tell me why Astro rejected GXBank card? It says β€œThis card is not supported. Please use another credit card.” If that’s the case, it is really unreliable for daily use.

new issuer "issues". will take time for the rest of merchants/payment gateways/etc to update their BIN database to treat gxbank as a valid Malaysia-issued card.

you'll face this again and again with upcomng aeon digital bank and boost digital bank.

Actually calculation shows you get the same interest as 0.61 option.

Option 183 : rm2013 to get 0.22 per day.

Option 61 : rm610 get 0.10 and rm1403 get 0.12 total 0.22 per day

Is there a big amount option?

No, he means 61+122 = 183 per pocket, which is what I posted earlier. That gives you 4% p.a. effective interest for the first 183*11 = 2013 MYR that you have.

Hi, you may refer to my post in the page earlier:

QUOTE(TOS @ May 10 2024, 07:43 AM)
I am thinking of maximizing the total absolute value instead of just looking at the percentage.

So, if I want 0.02 instead of 0.01, I should be looking at 0.015 right (prior to round up)? Each pocket saving should now be (0.015*366)/0.03 = 183 MYR instead of 61 MYR.

Effective rate will be (0.02*366)/183 = 4% p.a., still higher than many other FD and also consider the liquidity... (no penalty for withdrawal)

If I push further, looking at 0.03, then it will be 0.025. Each pocket saving = (0.025*366)/0.03 = 305 MYR

Effective rate will now be (0.03*366)/305 = 3.6% p.a., comparable to many FD out there, but with added liquidity... (no penalty for withdrawal)

Judging from opportunity cost, the 4% "floating deposit" option looks enticing. tongue.gif
*
The additional 1% p.a. over the "advertised" 3% p.a. is simply due to the round off from 0.015 to 0.02, i.e., the additional 0.005 MYR is what contributes to the extra 1% p.a.

If GXBank pays you exactly 0.015 then you will get 3% p.a. You can confirm the maths:

Now, forget about round up or round down. In normal case, GX Bank pays you 3% p.a., so you put 183 MYR per saving pocket (and 1 main account), you will get daily interest of 183 *0.03/366 = 0.015 MYR. (3% p.a. interest here, nothing fancy). -> Formula: 183*0.03/366 = 0.015

But now GXBank rounds up the 0.015 to 0.02 MYR. You reverse the formula above to get the interest rate -> Formula: 183*(unknown interest rate)/366 = 0.02. Rearranging equation and solve for the unknown interest rate: Unknown interest rate = (0.02*366)/183 = 0.04 aka 4% p.a.

To further double check: GX Bank pays you additional 0.005 MYR on top of the original 0.015 MYR, which is an increment of 0.005/0.015*100% = 33 and 1/3 %

Since the amount of principal (183 MYR), compounding period (366 days a year) remains unchanged, the rise in interest rate should be exactly the same as that of the increment percentage in additional interest, i.e. 33 and 1/3 %. Let's check:

1% / 3% * 100% = 33 and 1/3 % (Hey presto!)

Mafan to go Lazada and Shoppee.

What's the logic behind not supported? It's a Master debit card and need GX secure to authorise. So, all security and safety is there. This is not even enrolling for auto debit. Just a one time bill payment.
