I actually dont understand how to differentiate the interest earning between savings & FD...

For example, if i save 5000 in FB with 3%pa and the withdrawal/maturity date are actually 1 month (rm5000 min 1 month) so how much i can get after 1 month?
Compared to savings lets say 5000 with 2%pa how much i can get after 1 month?

My confusion is, isnt "pa" means "1 year" ???

LOL, your maths really that sucks?

Principal x Interest % x No. of month/12

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.

Are you sure Eon Bank is on entire balance?

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.

Does it have cheque facility?

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.

Yeah, I just realised today after having some testings.

Let me tell you, CIMB air asia savers account is much more better than all of you said.
minimum req to open bank account wil be rm 50.
There will be *High interest rate of 1.60%, up to 2.80% p.a. (inclusive of the RM5 cash rebate if average balances of at least RM5,000 with no over-the-counter transaction in any day of the month).*

and for those always book air tic, this is the privilage to bid the tic and get the cheaper rate.
for more information, please refer to http://www.cimbbank.com.my/index.php?ch=cb...2&tpt=cimb_bank

and if you have 10k or more, better you keep as FD, the interest rate at least have 3.2% and above.
*
You mislead everyone that the up to 2.8% is the percentage calculation on minimum requirement of RM5k in which they pay you RM5 a month if balance > RM5k and no over counter transactions.

Example, I save RM5k and maintain RM5k balance for the next 12 months.

The interest I will receive is:-

RM5k x 1.6% = RM80
Additional RM5 = RM5 x 12 = RM60

Total = RM140

Interest % = RM140 / RM5000 = 2.8%

However, for those who saves more than RM5k a month, if you divide the total interest/income received over your deposit, you won't get 2.8% already.

So the effective interest rate is not 2.8% anymore if your balance saved is > RM5k.

Anyway, Eon Bank is still the best for those who wants to save with more than RM50k.
