Because last time I ask a question from this thread version 1 and I was told like that.
So means I was misinformed?

Either so or you misunderstood. I have no idea. But the most important thing is, now you know the correct way of calculating FD interest already smile.gif

Calculating FD interest is very simple. You don't need to come out with a spreadsheet or anything. You can easily count it manually or using a calculator.

Bro, the rules state that no mlm scheme.
The no homework rule only applies for education corner.
Just admit you are not willing to share your knowledge.
This thread is made to discuss about fd so I have the rights to ask for guidance.
Or else this thread beats the purpose.
If you talking about shares maybe you won't want to share your secret but this is fd.
Even you know the kungfu the bank won't give you any privillege.
I duno what you will get by not sharing the knowledge but what makes you and me different is I have the guts to try and share it out while you don't.

As i've said, go back a few pages and you can find your answer there.

No. It's not. Many other bank offer this kind of Shariah compliant FD too.

Wrong. It's RM10,000 (your principal) + RM75 (a rough estimate).

ohoh, its a 3 % interest for a year , if 3 month is 300 interest divided by 12 month x3 month =RM 75, why rough estimate? any surcharge?
*
Because it's counted by days, not months like us did. And no. There is no surchage.

Is I am not mistaken, CIMB calculates FD rates based on monthly basis,
but not daily basis
Nope. CIMB Bank also calculates its FD on a daily basis too.

Today went to SCB to withdraw my funds and was informed that they are going to offer 4% interest rate; but, my RM said she has yet to read the terms and conditions and therefore could not advise me.

Anyway, withdrew the funds from SCB and proceeded to OCBC and was surprised that they have promotion for new Premier Banking Account. So ended up opening a Premier Account with OCBC and getting 5% Interest Rate for my FD  thumbup.gif Click here to read more about OCBC Premier Account which enjoy 5% Promotional Interest Rate for 3 months.

You have been misinformed, I can confirm only need RM1K in new current account because my FD cert clearly states 5% Interest for 3 months.

Bro, there probably is an even better deal from Citibank. I received the below sms about 40 minutes ago.

RM0.00 Citigold: Start the year with 6.28% p.a extra for 3 mths.


QUOTE(Gen-X @ Jan 3 2012, 02:01 PM)
Seriously, there is nothing good with OCBC Premier Account i.e. no Premier credit card that comes with the account.
I totally agree with you that there is nothing good about OCBC Premier Account. It's like they are offering this product simply because some of their biggest rivals (UOB, HSBC, Citi, Standard Chartered etc.) in MY and SG have this kind of banking product.

To force us to buy a secondary product is the biggest turn off of this Citigold promotion.

I went to SCB this afternoon, RM there told me that in order to get
5% interest rate, I can put 50% of fund into 5% FD p.a. account for
3 months term.

And the remaining 50% of funds will put into 3.8% p.a. for 9 months
term, buy need to open the followings:
    (i)  FD account
    (ii)  Saving account (RM 20 to open)
    (iii) Current account (RM 400 to open)

According to them, deposit all 100% fund straight into 5% FD account and
without opening a saving account and a current account is not allowed.

You meant OCBC...

Initially she got the quote's code wrong. So she used the blue color for her reply. And i just helped her to fix the quote's code, the rest is original biggrin.gif

By the way, i noticed Standard Chartered has just revised the interest rate for the e$aver Account. The interest rate for RM0.01 - RM100,000 was 2.5% when this account was first introduced in late 2007.

By the way, Reserve Bank of Australia cut the interest rate before the end of last year. I think there is little hope for BNM to increase OPR in the near future. Consider ourselves lucky as long as they keep the OPR at this rate for now and do not cut it again biggrin.gif
