Based on everyones reported experience & knowing how hard it would be to get more that $10K per day out once I increase my limit & forced…

I was able to do 2x$5K OSKO payments (no hold) to AMP on April 1st & repeat on April 2nd from the S1 & S7 accounts. What others have…

it looks to me like the self serve limit increase automatically sets a flag to put any payment out on hold. It is in efect a service for…

I did my remaining 2x$5K osko payments mid day using the S1 and S7. Both went to AMP intantly. No holds. I feel like the luckiest Hiver…

Unfotunately, the cheques I receive are crossed "pay to payee account only" (bank account that is). I am thankfull to GSB for still…

A lot of Foreign Investment Companies only pay by cheque and will not pay direct to bank accounts.

That is correct, but if that is the only way to cash a cheque then it is worth it Foreign currency deposit (draft and cheque) $15.00…

I noticed a lot of people asking about Foreign Cheques (elsewhere) and not getting any usefull answers. I can only post here so here is my…

I could not help seeing the funny side of this and posting here -:) Several WP users posted that their $5K OSKO HIVER transfer got blocked…

My experience was so bad that I simply don't care much about WP anymore. I only visit WP to see if there is any updates of interest (mostly…

Rabobank is a "shut shop" on non business days, nothing happens or can happen, anything scheduled on a non-business day will be resheduled…

No, ofcource not -:) Rabobank does not operate on weekends or public holidays. That was done on a Business Day. With Rabobank, I have plan…

My experiment was successful in establishing exactly what you can or cannot do from Hiver -:) A lot of people are seeking similar questions…

Yes it is very bad - you can open 3 new saver accounts, potentially utilising 3 free withdrawals each month. I plan to (at least try) to…

I just created 3 new Hiver Saver accounts (that allow 1 withdrawal each & still get the 2.25%) as an emergency exit facility. It appears…

if & when I set up the new Hiver Saver & try to transfer money out of each using the self managed $50K limits I will post an update here -…

5.25% is still the 2nd best rate after the AMP 5.40% for amounts up to $250K and over. I have no reason to move any money, yet, in April.…

or even better, if you have a Rabobank account (Prenium Saver is now 5%) use the direct debit faclity to get all the money out of Hiver,…

The new Hiver Saver only offers 2.25%, that is not a down-grade, it is a free-fall from grace - in a few months most money will move…

1st of April is Easter Monday/Fools Day - so they will get you for 1 day anyway - if you can wait until 1st of May or even better move the…

Don't know & have not tried, but I would just send them a secure message to increase the limit above $50K up to $499,999.99. However, I am…

AMP updates the rate overnight. "Where transactions have been processed to your account, the interest rate applicable to your new closing…

You can do same day transfer, any day of the month. $1K from Saver to Access & then back to Saver. No interest loss and criteria met. The…

Has anyone transferred over $5K from Hiver to other banks (transfer will not be OSKO) and if so was the transfer credited to the receiving…

All would be revealed on the 28th of March - other than an email received yesterday announcing the change no useful information has been…

I agree with you. Unfortunately I am not one of the morons that runs banks these days so that having and operating an account requires very…

Looks like the new Target Saver account will no longer be offered to new customets and the Saver account (allowing 1 withdrawal each month)…

All accounts had the transfer done instantly on the 19th. All got a posting date on the 20th. Interest in question is missing from both…
