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.

Good plan. Keep it up young man.
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.

Hi flexi is a savings ac, no checking. You can open a current account and apply Internet banking to link your savings ac and the current ac for free n unlimited fund transfer to n fro.

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.

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

RHB Maxca$h current a/c gives 2.78% effective rate for bal exceeding rm20k. But only 3 free withdrawal allow in a month.

Yeah, very little money but that is because you only have 2k now, you will appreciate how significant 2.1%. is when you have a lot of money.
Anyway, Rm3.5 per month is rm42 a year. Two years driving license paid for in 1 year.
