SCB Xtrasaver Account- Terms and Conditions

We have mentioned the terms and conditions of the SC bank account:

  1. The Standard Chartered XtraSaver account is available in AED and USD currencies, with a limit of one account per client per currency. Only "Fresh Funds"—money transferred from outside Standard Chartered Bank UAE within 90 days of account opening—can be deposited.
  2. All transactions are processed based on the value date, as determined by the bank’s systems. Transactions made on public holidays will reflect on the next working day.
  3. If the account is closed before the end of any calendar month, no interest will be paid for that month. Interest is calculated on the average monthly balance and credited on the last business day of the month.
  4. Interest rates, as shown in rate tables, apply only to AED accounts and are subject to change based on product and client terms. Only three debit transactions are allowed per calendar month. If more than three debits occur, the interest for that month will be forfeited (0% interest). The rate cycle will resume in the following month based on the applicable rate grid.
  5. Debit transactions include all types of withdrawals from the account, such as ATM withdrawals, retail purchases, standing orders, financing recoveries, utility bill payments, and bank fees or charges. Even reversed debit transactions that are later refunded count toward the monthly debit limit.
  6. For clients holding other accounts under the same master number, a minimum balance requirement of AED 3,000 (or its foreign currency equivalent) applies. However, balances in the XtraSaver Account will count toward fulfilling this minimum requirement.
