Check eFD, not available. Looks like I need to deposit at the branch. Isn't this so inefficient?

Effective rate 3.3% only. 1st 2 months 3.1 , 3rd
month 3.7% Minimal is 20k

Can't do it online through eFD but have to open on their branch.

Promotion will stop once Maybank got their target RM 1 billion deposit.

When the promotion ends?

When Maybank get their intended RM 1 billion deposit - I don't know when that will happen.

Average out is only 3.3% for 3 months tenure. Not that significant unless you have large amount of money and have Maybank2u to credit the interest/principal upon maturity to save banker's cheque / transfer cost/ transport cost/ time cost/ loss of interest for 1 day during transfer.

You can consider 4.7% pa for 5 years term in MBSB.

But you will not get compound interest, interest will pay
into your MBSB saving account every 6 months.
And you will get interest in your MBSB saving account.
Is the deposit in this financial institution protected by PIMB?

4.7% for 5 years is quite decent.

4.7% not compounded, is that good?

Correct me if I am wrong...

Affin
If I put in RM 1000 into Affin for a year at 3.6%.
after a year interest is RM36
after 5 years with compounded interest will be RM 1193. Interest earn is RM193.

MBSB
what will be the interest earn after 5 years for the same amount of RM1000?
Saw in the forum mentioned interest will be bank in every 6 months.
*
Let's see , compounded interest rate of 4.7% pa will give you 25.8% return in 5 years.

Non-compounded interest rate of 4.7% pa will give you 23.5% return in 5 years.

Difference is 2.3% of the principal amount at the end of 5 years.

So if you put in RM1000 , the difference will be RM23 in 5 years time.


To answer your question, for MBSB since it's non-compounded 4.7% pa, you will get Rm1000 x 23.5% = RM235 in 5 years time. In another word, a return of 23.5% would be 4.65% pa compounded interest , or 4.7% pa non-compounded interest for 5 years.

Still decent right? better than some unit trusts ..... 1/4 return in 5 years drool.gif drool.gif

p/s Can anyone tell me MBSB deposit guaranteed by PIDM or not?

Maybank E-FD is good because you can uplift at the day of maturity.

Maybank got some FD promotion now, but can only do it over the counter.

All banks' FDs can uplift or withdraw on the maturity dates, except holidays.

Placement of e-FD at CIMB banks

CIMB E-Fixed deposit


13. Would I be able to withdraw/uplift my eFD on the maturity date?

No, you will not be able to. You may withdraw/uplift the eFD one day after the maturity date. However you can perform withdrawal/upliftment at your home branch on the maturity day.

please refer to post a few pages back. Maybank has 4 months and 6 months promotion FD. If not mistaken it's 3.3%.

I usually withdraw my CIMB FD on the maturity date, interest rate pays on accurate amount.
But my CIMB FD statement is on a paper (deposit and withdraw via bank counter, a traditional type),
*
If you read the FAQ , it says for e-fixed deposit it can be withdrawn at the counter of the home branch at the maturity date.

But if we put in the online FD through CIMB clicks (e-deposit without paper or going to counter), we can only withdraw a day later.

FD placed through counter and online FD (e-FD) are treated differently by CIMB bank. Dunno why. I know it's not a problem with Maybank.

cherroy mentioned months back that if a FD maturity date falls on a Public Holiday or non working day, the interest will be calculated until the next working day. Well, he is absolutely correct. HLB does that.

Had a Maybank FD due on last Saturday, when I withdrew it, the amount printed at the back of the receipt shows interest until Saturday only. So asked the MBB officer how come interest not calculated until next working day (since not my fault the bank is closed on Saturday) and he said that MBB only pays interest for the tenure stated. But when he gave me the deposit slip to my current account, the amount included interest up to Monday smile.gif So, some banks' officer don't even knows what cherroy mentioned above.

To all who opened SCB Account recently to enjoy 5% interest, I asked my RM how much it will cost me if I close the account. She said that there will be a fee if I close the account within 3 months and told me just leave RM1 inside the account for more than 3 months and then no fees will be imposed  thumbup.gif

Actually , is there a difference if we put the FD at 10am in the morning and 8pm at night ? (through E banking)

Sometimes, I got less interest maybe counted as half day if deposit after 12pm? Got such thing?
