Tell me about the ICBC Savings Account.
This is a hassle-free and easy to open basic savings account from ICBC- no service fees or maintenance charges, as long as you maintain a balance of RM20 in your account.
You will earn high interest rate on your balances and have the option to use electronic banking to manage all your financial needs
Do I need to pay a fee for withdrawing cash at the ATM?
You will not be required to pay a fee at ICBC ATM’s when making a withdrawal. However you will need to pay a fee if you withdraw cash from any other ATM. The fee will be between RM1.06 and RM4.06 depending on the ATM used.
Any hidden fees and charges I need to be aware of?
There is one that you should be aware of. If you choose to close your ICBC Savings Account within 3 months of the opening date, you will need to pay a penalty of RM20. Other than that, there is just the ATM fee for non ICBC withdrawals.
Who can apply for this savings account?
