I currently have 8 bank accounts to segment my money for financial planning and budgeting purposes. CIMB I-Starsaver is my only shariah-compliant savings account that pays hibah instead of interest. ~50% of my clients are Muslims, so I also wanted to experience what an Islamic savings account is like. The conventional Starsaver pays 0.8%/yr and the I-Starsaver targets this rate of hibah too. I would say that 0.8%/yr is good, considering that you don't have to jump through any hoops (I.e. multiple conditions of salary crediting, spending on credit card, bill payment and insurance / investment). It is straight forward, you can open an account with $1,000, and the accessibility to ATMs make this a good account for your Contingency Buffer, Long Term savings or Opportunity Fund accumulation. One important difference to me between this and Fastsaver, is that this account allows you counter service without any extra charge.0

A current account with chequebook. 0.8% for the interest. If chequebook is not required, can consider opening the fastsaver instead which pays 1%.0

CIMB StarSaver Account
This saving account has a fairly straightforward and hassle free feature for lazy depositor. No fall below fee and interest pf 0.8%/0.9% p.a. is computed on a daily basis based on number of days you keep a minimum of $1,000 in your account. However, due to the general market sentiments and economic downturn during COVID-19, all banks including CIMB have revised their deposit interest downwards. With effect from 1 Jul 2020, the interest rate for this account has fallen to 0.4%/0.45% p.a. for the first $200,000, 0.7%/0.75% p.a. for next $800,000, and 0.4%/0.45% p.a. for all amount above $1,000,000. This downward interest revision although expected, is still alarming as interest return is being shaved by close to half of its initial rate. Nevertheless, the hassle free, no fall below fee feature of this saving account retains its appeal for depositors looking for simple saving mechanism.0
