Banks should look to educate customers for better returns Rather than creating new products which introduce debt, perhaps there should be a renewed focus on financial literacy (With paywall) https://www.businesstimes.com.sg/opinion-fe...-better-returns QUOTE ON THE face of it, the recent launch of GXS Bank’s FlexiCard appears to be a positive move, with a new segment of the population now able to get their hands on a credit card. There is no minimum income requirement of S$30,000 mandated by the Monetary Authority of Singapore to qualify for the card. This means that just about anyone could sign up for this credit card. However, there is a S$500 credit limit, and customers can make a minimum payment plus S$5 to carry an outstanding balance on the card. A S$50 late fee is charged if the minimum payment is not met. ... Expect the same to come in Malaysia? Credit card without the usual stringent checks in brick-and-mortal commercial banks... I will try to find the full version of the article once it's available on my uni's library e-portal... Stay tuned. This post has been edited by TOS: Oct 30 2024, 11:14 AM |

QUOTE(jagjag @ Oct 30 2024, 02:25 PM) Well, GX Bank change their offer once a month. After 5th of November new promos may come. I am not sure how you arrive at RM 20++? We seek to earn 1 cent per saving pocket/main account, for a total of 11 MYR cents per day. Multiply that over 366 days a year give some 40.26 MYR. If you want more convenience you can just leave the daily interests in the saving pockets/main accounts. End of year, on the last day you still earn 3.85% p.a. on the remaining balance... *Easy to compute: (0.11*366)/(1006.50+40.26-0.11)*100 = 3.85% p.a. (effective rate on last day of the year) Which is way higher than many FD or HYSA accounts with tonnes of conditions. I don't see why you should skip this offering. Also their IT system is a lot steadier than many other digital banks, it's as good as say CIMB, Maybank etc.... except without branches... |

QUOTE(jagjag @ Oct 30 2024, 03:30 PM) Hi..my 20++ is actually ddt the original 2% interest you get regardless how much amount you put in. Its actually the additional 2% you are getting with the 1006.50 thing. I see why you are confused now. You frame the problem from a wrong perspective. Anyway i actually see no problem for anyone to do that but just wonder izzit worth the trouble to earn the RM 20 more. Its not 2% more per se coz you cant actually have more than the 1006.50 in the account to get the 2%. In our case here with GX Bank, the daily interests is "fixed" at 0.11 MYR, but the interest rate is variable. In other words, you earn 0.11 for all 11 pockets + main account per day regardless of the rate of the effective rate of 2%, 3.85% or 4% p.a. There is no hassle at all in maintaining the money, the minimum amount to earn at least 0.11 per day is 1006.50 anyway. --------------------------------------- And no, don't let the 1006.50 amount be a psychological barrier for you. You can always park in more than that, just that overall return will be dragged down. If you want, you can put the rest of your money (above 1006.50) over at Rize or BoostBank. Or if you trust or love GX Bank so much that you are willing to pay a price for its sleek GUI interface and stability, you can put in GX Bank with a marginal return of 2% p.a. It's entirely the user's choice. Don't let 1006.50 stop you from putting anything extra into GX Bank.

Anyhow, what they are gonna roll out today is for their own benefit... not for us.
Flexicredit to trap more people with loans and debts, cut back 1% cashback to keep more interchange fee with them... Haiz... We are hoping that they would open more saving pockets or raise the interest rate... |

News reports coming out from TechNave:
https://technave.com/gadget/GXBank-reduces-...-0-1-40573.html https://technave.com/gadget/GXBank-rolls-ou...SMEs-40572.html QUOTE As GXBank celebrates its first anniversary, the company unveiled a couple of new features such as TeXnovasi and GXFlexiCredit. However, customers who have been using the GXBank debit card are wondering what will happen to the cashback. After all, the GX Rewards Experience is ending today and we have the answer. According to Pei-Si Lai, Chief Executive Officer of GXBank, it is confirmed that the initial unlimited 1% cashback reward will be reverting to just 0.1%. In context, if you are spending a RM100 with the debit card, you will only get 10 cents back instead of RM1. Previously, GXBank also adjusted the 3% daily interest rate to 2% for both Main Account and Savings Pockets from 1 October 2024. GXBank debit card users will probably not be pleased with this but it's still usable for foreign transactions. Customers can still have: 1% cashback on all in-store overseas spending Zero markups on exchange rates Zero fees for overseas ATM cash withdrawals Zero fees on overseas transactions On top of that, the debit card will still retain zero fees for MEPS ATM cash withdrawals, as well as zero annual fees and zero card issuance fees. Additionally, customers can still earn 1.5x GrabRewards on Jaya Grocer and 3x GrabRewards on overseas Grab spending. All in all, it still has some uses for overseas. ![]() -------------------------------------- QUOTE Starting with GX FlexiCredit, this new feature will roll out progressively from November 2024 onwards to Malaysians. Eligible Malaysians who meet the requirements can get instant approval of up to RM150,000 credit limit within minutes and disbursement. This feature can help customers with the flexibility of getting immediate cash drawdown (with interest only on the drawdown amount) with zero fees if they choose to settle repayment early. ![]() --------------------------------------- And for the GX Biz thingie earlier. QUOTE Additionally, in line with the government's Belanjawan Madani 2025 intent to help close the financing gap for MSMEs, GXBank’s GX Biz Banking aims to be a one-stop solution for the business community to open an account and have more convenient access to financing support. Similarly to a retail GX Account, GX Biz Account offers the first fully digital onboarding for businesses and daily interest payouts. With GX Biz Account, micro-entrepreneurs can seamlessly apply for the GX Biz FlexiLoan via the app and if qualified, receive instant approval for a credit line of up to RM150,000. Business owners will also have the option of a flexible loan tenure of up to three years, and the flexibility to make early repayments without any additional fee or interest. Beginning with merchants in Grab Malaysia’s ecosystem, GXBank aims to roll out GX Biz Banking to small businesses across Malaysia by the first quarter of 2025.
