No it isn't the best.

The best deposit rate in Malaysia with unlimited free withdrawals/deposit and interest calculated daily is EON bank Hi-Flexi. If your balance exceed RM50k at any day, you will get similar to 3 month FD rate which is 2.90% currently. 

For those who don't have RM50K, go for the second best with CIMB Money Multiplier Account at 2.50% for deposit balance above RM10k.
3 FREE withdrawals a month (subsequent withdrawals would be charged RM5).
No monthly maintenance fee.
These types of deposit account are most suitable for business people, market punters, IPO players, property flippers etc etc or in short for people who always mobilize their funds whenever there is an ad hoc money making opportunity.
Tell me which bank offers better than EON bank with features like saving accounts and I shall give you a small reward.

Yes, Affin is on tier basis.

CONCLUSION: I believe for starters/fresh grad like me, M2U savers is the one to go for, coz it only requires RM250 as min initial deposit and RM2000 monthly balance to enjoy the 2.1% p.a. Then, once it exceed RM10,000, can consider changing it to CIMB Money Multiplier to get the 2.5% pa. Lastly, when it exceeds RM50,000, can put into EON High Flexi to get the 2.9% pa interest!  thumbup.gif I seem like a dreamer...  hmm.gif

Good plan. Keep it up young man. rclxms.gif
I think I should rank M2U Savers as third best.

I'm a Hi-Flexi account holder since it launched some time in the early years of millennium therefore I'm pretty sure the interest is calculated base on the entire balance. I love to park my working capital in this account to earn FD interest rate while waiting for any ad hoc investment opportunity that comes along.

Why the shock ? All Internet banking accounts allows unlimited amount fund transfers within your own accounts and this is pretty standard feature wat ?
As for merger with HLB, no one knows what future will be, so I opted to enjoy the benefits first.

It operates just like a normal savings account, but with the difference being you will need to maintain a minimum of RM2000 to enjoy the 2.1% interest, so that is the advantage. It is great for young or those with not much to save, as it offers one of the highest interest that is not tied like FD.

Disadvantages is that, you can get higher rates if you put into FD and if you have a large sum of case (RM10k above), there are other types that can give you a higher rate.

I'm wondering, if one of the months I failed to keep the balance of the account at RM2k, then how's the 2.1%pa interest?
For example, if January 2012 - December 2012, every month I manage to keep Rm2000 balance in m2u account except February. So do I still get the 2.1% p.a.
And another thing is, when do they start counting? Coz the minimum deposit is only RM250. So if at the beginning (January) my account got RM250 only and I top-up RM500 monthly afterwards, after 4 months (June), then only they will count from June 2012 till June 2013 to give me the 2.1%p.a.? Is it like this? I'm so confused... rclxub.gif Sorry guys, my math sucks... blush.gif

Interest is calculated daily And credited monthly. You will get accumulated interest on the days that your balance is 2k or up.

Yes. You can. This account will be automatically linked to your existing ATM/debit card (assume you already have one).
