Good morning. From today onwards:
2.5 % p.a. DSA (check updated rate in product disclosure sheet if there are any changes, link at bottom of post): Minimum 0.005*365/0.025 = 73, at increment of 0.01*365/0.025 = 146 for every extra cent of interest (no max limit *, 50k daily transfer limit cap)
Previously 3.2 % p.a. Normal saving jar (all 8 normal saving jar rate will drop to 3% after 9th January, in line with the declining rate for Celebration jar after 9th January): Rate drop to 3% (same with Celebration jar, see below, except deposit limit -> normal saving jar limit 1 million, Celebration jar limit 25k)
Minimum 0.005*365/0.030 = 60.84, at increment of 0.01*365/0.03 = 121.67 for every extra cent of interest (Normal jar max limit is 1 million, but to earn interest, max needed is just 60.84 + 121.67 * 8218 = 999,944.90 per jar, uhmmm let's push it further, since we will get 999,944.90 * 0.03/365 = 82.19 per day at this juncture, might as well target 82.185 per day right? Hence, the maximum principal to put in is 82.185*365/0.03 =
999,917.50.
Previously 3.6 % p.a. Special saving jar (from 10th Jan onwards Celebration/birthday jar rate dropped to 3% p.a., CelcomDigi and Sabah jar rate dropped to 3.3% p.a.): 3% Celebration/Birthday jar magic number follows the case mentioned above in normal saving jar paragraph, but with 25k limit. Max principal to put in should be 24880.84 to earn 2.05 MYR interest per day, after 10th Jan.
3.3% CelcomDigi and the Sabah jars:
Minimum 0.005*365/0.033 = 55.31, at increment of 0.01*365/0.033 = 110.61 for every extra cent of interest (I will leave it as an exercise for you to show that for the 50k CelcomDigi jar, if you are eligible, the max principal to put is 49938.64 and you get max daily interest of 4.52 MYR.)
* after credit transfer verification, max across all balance including saving jars: RM 100,000,000, see
