Hi there,
How do i find out the Savers-i Rates? I only see the Savers (conventional) rate.
What do you mean in saying that the Savers-i gets higher nominal returns? How much higher?
Thanks!

Is it compulsory when you have money less than 2000RM in my savers – i account that I need to put money every month? And if it is then how much should I put every month?
Let’s say if it is above 2000RM, then how much should I put in my savers-i account every month? Or should I not?
