BNM raised OPR 25 basic points, SRR up 1% to 3%.

Good, BNM is looking seriously on inflation.

and the lowest HLB?

huh? you posted highest UOB and now you say UOB lowest?

I heard my fren said FD rate in Vietnam is 10+ % and his boss has opened an account thr.

for a quick question coz I dunno where to ask this question.

I have RM 500 worth of coins (5 cents coins to 50 cents coins) which I saved for quite some time and I would like to bank in to my account. Is it possible to do so where I need to bring the two big containers to bank or is there any other way?

thanks

I just checked with UOB last Friday, UOB has two new FD promotions:

(1) 6 months tenure: 3.5%

(2) 3 months tenure:
        3.3% for 1st month
        3.3% for 2nd month
        3.6% for 3rd month
    So, average is 3.4% for all 3 months tenure

Minimum FD placement is 25K

Sometimes it depends on how do you negotiate with the bank when renew your FD.

Update:
This technique does not work on UOB. UOB needs fresh fund only.

I agree with based on the SCB Website's T&C...
But come 1 Nov 2011, won't your account becomes "Existing Customer" from "New-to-Bank Customer" ?

SC T&C requires a min of "ADB" of 3K throughout Oct (31 days). It means that if you deposit 3K on 1/10/11 and maintain it for 31 days,it's OK. If you open the account on 11/10/11 then you need 4.4286K. That is 4.4286 x 21/31=3. If you open the ac on 31/10/11 and it'll be 93K. Wah lau !

Better be quick if you want to take advantage of the promo.

The cheque is posted on 3-Oct-2011 for the eSaver account opened on 1 Oct 2011. Now just need to wait for month-end to collect my 5% p.a. Bonus Payment

it is worth to open esaver with standard charted with 5% pa? is it higher than normal FD of 3 months?

sifus.. how do you calculate..

Lets say if I am a new customer and I intend to open an e$aver account with an initial deposit of 50k but do not intend to top up my account, will I be eligible for the bonus payment rate of 5% p.a. for the 50k deposited from the account opening date till December 31.

Hi everyone, just to update, for islamic account like saadiq saver-i is not eligible to participate in scb 5% interest promo. Only supersalary or e$aver are eligible.

For new customers, they can make deposits anytime (or top up) during October only.
New customers will get flat 5% interest rate for 3 months from October to
end of December 2011.

What do you expect ???? 5% p.a. forever ?!     

Since my cheque officially clears on 5 October 2011, I assume the ADB calculation will be from 5-Oct onwards   

ADB is used for the 5% bonus calculation.

Interest = ADB * 5% * Total Number of Days (used to count ADB) / 365
