i dunno bout this. u need to contact nearest branch ler.
i didnt take the offer as working days, i'm in sgp.. cannot make it at 8pm...

FD is not considered an investment.. it's more to savings IMHO.

Just to share,

called up UOB Uptown branch and was told that there is this 3months promo going on now for after 4pm Fixed Deposit at 3.58%.
The personnel said that once the cap has been reached (300mio) they will stop the promo.

The earlier post that said 3m@ 3.88% is not true

oops...thanks for clarification!
would be my mistake for wrong info

Who said it must be a worst investment?

or you rather wish you had bought some banks share during 2007? instead of putting in FD.

hi ronnie, so if i top up in the month of Nov / Dec, the top up amount is eligible for the 5%? account opened in Oct.
Coz somehow i read somewhere saying can only top up in Oct.. i might be very wrong.. thx

Of course your top-up amount + base amount gets the 5% assuming the ADB for Nov & Dec >RM3000

Eg. October : RM10000, 1st November add RM10000
November's 5% promo will be calculated based on RM20000

orites! thx for clarification

Smurfs masterminded this?

Its ended already

Don't really understand the point of UOB adopting Smurts as a marketing promo, they don't really encourage children to open account with them. In the last thread I reported that the PB counter teller had to get "permission" from their execs to open account for my children's FD.

if you noticed in the ad, the promotion has been extended to 30 Nov.

anyway was there on saturday morning n dumped 50k bonus for 3 months @ 3.58 % pa.
the children had fun with the Smurfs, photos taken too.

the Smurfs collectable mugs are given for opening new or top up current or savings accounts min RM3k.
Bank not pushing for new childrens' accounts but enticing new current/savings or top ups to existing accounts.
why not, Smurfs bring in the kids, parents tag along, kids eye collectables, parents open new accounts or top up, get collectables, kids happy n enjoyed the morning.
you can say that it's just a gimmick to draw in the crowd, but it works.
characters could be from toy story or monsters inc, but Smurfs are so family !.

y the promo 3.8% pa dont hv at the website?

Standard Charted rate still 5 %?

Only for those account holders who participate in the promo in OCT2011.

came across this excellent website on calculating average daily balance. We can use it to calculate interest earned. I havent received my statement from SCB and hence does not know the difference between this spread sheet versus SCB way of calculation. May be some members can check it out.
