What’s the benefit of this savings account?
Shop worry-free while you’re abroad as you get zero-fee currency conversions when you spend with the JumpStart debit card-i. Need a quick cash withdrawal? No problem, you get free overseas ATM withdrawals too, which means you don't have to pay the RM12 fee levied by Standard Chartered Malaysia. But please note that this ATM withdrawal waiver doesn't cover any charges imposed by overseas banks or third parties.
