onera1961 Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Here is what I understand. It is tied to the main saving account. If I deposit 25K every month in the main savings account and instruct them to move to dream savings account at the end of the month, I will have a savings of 300K in one year. I can have multiple dream saving account. If I open four of them and tied to the main saving account and deposit 100K in the main savings account, I can move 100K every month to the 4 dream savings account. Or 1.2 mil in one year. Has anybody opened this type of accounts? Is my understanding correct how it works? Please provide your feedback. This accounts won't be used for retirement extension.

So, if I open 4, I will have 1.2 million. And If I open 8, it is 2.4 million. Trying to maximize 7/8 million that I plan to bring to Thailand in the next 3 years after I sell my condo in Hawaii and apartment in Benidrom.

GroveHillWanderer Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 On the TMB website it says the current rate on a Dream Savings account is 2.5%. However it does say elsewhere that the rate can vary. Bangkok Bank fees & rates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is 2.5% for 6-months and after that drops to 2% https://www.bangkokpost.com/business/1665064/small-deposits-add-up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fletchsmile Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Yes your understanding is broadly correct. You can also withdraw cash from it, but only via the account linked. It's one of if not the highest interest accounts around. 2.5% for 1st 6 months and 2% thereafter. The complete product conditions can be found on this .pdf download link. They are all in Thai, but if your Thai isn't up to it, you can open the .pdf select all the text and cut and paste into google translate the translation is decent as it's simple and short text https://www.tmbbank.com/document/download/3652 Or you can go via the link in bottom half of this web page under complete product conditions. Before that is a summary of the product in English https://www.tmbbank.com/en/accounts/savings/dream-saving.html Cheers Fletch ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have suggestions of other high interest accounts? I want to park 7/8 mil spread across various accounts earning decent interests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
