- How different is the OCBC Booster Account-i from other savings account?
The OCBC Booster Account-i is a savings account that rewards you with a high base profit rate when you maintain an account balance of RM30,000 and above. In addition, it rewards you with “Wealth” Bonus Profit when you do any of these:
- Invest with OCBC Al-Amin.
- Insure with OCBC Al-Amin.
- How is the profit calculated?
You get 2 types of profit on your account balance every month.
- Base Profit: This profit is accrued daily based on your account's day-end balance and you will receive this at the end of the month.
- Wealth bonus: This profit is based on the first RM50,000 of your account's average daily balance and you will receive this by the 14th business day of the following month or earlier; truncated to 2 decimal places. No wealth bonus will be paid to your Booster Account-i if the total amount of bonus in such month is less than RM0.01.
- What will happen when my account balance falls below RM30,000?
The Base Profit of 0.10% a year will be accrued based on the days where your account balance falls below RM30,000.
For example: If you have maintained your account balance below RM30,000 between the 1st - 15th of the month, then your base profit accrued for this account balance will be 0.10% a year from 1st - 15th of the month. Subsequently, if you maintain your account balance at or above RM30,000 between the 16th - 31st of the month, then your base profit accrued for this balance will be 2.15% a year from the 16th - 31st of the month.
Dates Account balance Base profit accrued 1-15 Aug RM28,000 0.10% a year 16-31 Aug RM32,000 2.15% a year - Can I open more than ONE Booster Account-i?
You may only open ONE OCBC Booster Account-i whether in own name or in joint names, where you are the primary account holder.
- If I have multiple Booster accounts-i, which account will my wealth bonus be paid to?
The wealth bonus will be paid to the account with the higher bonus amount. In the event the wealth bonus amount is the same for several accounts, then the wealth bonus will be paid to the account with the largest account number.
- Can I use the money in my OCBC Booster Account-i?
Yes, you can. There is no lock-in period for this account. You can withdraw money with a debit card and/or access your money through OCBC Online Banking.
