Definitely true.

a large part of the reason is due to their culture, financial and tax system.

Leads people to spend more borrow more. And Be broke.

😅😁

YOLO is their motto,.

Prevailing rate is their normal rate, bonus is the extra rate given for this promo. So all in rate is 1.98% up to $1mil and still got lucky draw. And its online so no need to go down to bank. With deposit insurance of $75k per person, it's safe in my opinion.

wonder what is the interest rate after Apr if don't want to pay the early closure fee?

  • S$30 early account closure fee, if the account is closed within 6 months of opening

how much is the monthly service fee?

  • Waiver of monthly service fees for February, March and April 2020

This is the part that confused me too... Does it means the 1.98% only applied till Apr and after that is another different interest rate or this promo rate is valid from now till Apr? Maybe tomorrow I try call & ask...

You mean they still having this promo if you put in new funds ? 

SCB also having such similar scheme . Everytime they will adv such promo valid for 2 months (only) , then they will publish similar promo again after the cycle. 

So basically, it is very troublesome for us . I have to trsf money in and out. (Fresh fund meaning you got to withdraw the balance out at lease for 1 month)  So you skip 1 month and put in money again . 

Or you dont withdraw and just dump new funds in ... which means the old fund does not earn the Bonus INT. 

Stupid scheme if u ask me . 😂

 

yes as of now. if you are interested, just have to look out for the next promo series which i believe will start in march. so its an in out/in out process

Yes the mechanics is stupid

Just called the bank... indeed this promo rate of 1.98% is only till Apr (meaning just for this 2+ mths) & will fall back to board rate from May onwards... so effectively not going to get the 1.98% for the entire 12 mths... 

Gonna give this a miss...

Anything can beat UOB One account for longer term yield? 
 

min monthly spending of $500 required though, but can also put that amount aside as form of force saving with the bank to meet the requirement for min sum spend on the One card.

Yo. So this promo is put 200k in at 1.98% for 3 months, but after that need to maintain 1k to avoid minimum balance fee deduction for another 3 months before can close account right? 

Am I missing anything? Monthly service fee?

Eh. Deposit 200k. Leave it in until 30th April. Withdraw the 199k, leave the 1k minimum balance and The 199k go find another of these online accounts. Lol
