Short answer
Short answer
A salary-transfer offer should be checked against eligibility, transfer commitment, fees, payout conditions, and official expiry dates before switching salary.
- Minimum salary
- Required transfer months
- Listed bonus or estimated value
- Monthly account fees
- Offer expiry date
Step-by-step checks
Step 1
Confirm the minimum salary
Check whether your salary appears to meet the listed threshold, then remember that banks may apply additional eligibility checks.
Step 2
Read the transfer commitment
Check how many months salary must be transferred and whether missing a month affects the payout.
Step 3
Convert the bonus into monthly value
Divide the listed bonus by the required transfer period and subtract any monthly account fees.
Step 4
Check expiry and customer rules
Confirm the offer expiry date, new-customer requirement, account type, and any salary-credit conditions in official terms.
