thanks for your comments. i was thinking of taking out my Rm 10,000 fixed deposit from RHB bank and put in another RM 5,000 into a new fixed deposit. worth it? or should i wait for the maturity date finish only i deposit it together with my RM 10,000?

You can put in additional rm5000 fd now without uplifting the 1st rm10k fd. So you don't rugi at all.

hmm.. open another one? do they have the same amount at the end of the day? i mean if i combine them together and seperate them. Besides, RHB, which bank offer the best fixed deposit for now?


Added on January 5, 2012, 10:55 am

in that case, when is the maturity date then? push to next year rather than this coming april 2012?

Your nick suit you best tongue.gif maturity date is decided by you, you can't ask the people here. I wouldn't know when you want to place the fd and how long is your fd tenure.

my RM 10,000 interest rate during last year is 3.1% so it is not that much but i think it is a good choice to put the RM 5,000 to 3 months FD rate. After that, when can i switch bank to?
*
Aiyo, your are really the champion of all the noob questions in this FD thread. rclxms.gif

You can switch bank when your FD maturity date is up.

here is the latest on SCB offer.

eSaver Plus Account, for selected customer who had previously deposited RM1,000,000 in October, they will get special interest rate based on tiers.

First RM500K - RM3%

Next 250K - 4%
*
That's the best return so far for those category of people who placed FD in the blocks of RM200K each if there is no cap for the 4%.

I would like to get the facts straight for OCBC promo
So to get the 5% FD promo, we have to:
1. Deposit 300K FD
    - 150K for 3 months at 5% interest
    - 150K for 9 months also at promotional rate of 3.8%
      Can we still quality for the 3.8% promo rate?
2. Open 2 other deposit products

So after the 3 months FD matures, we can take it all out?
*
Ya, more or less straight with addition you must sign up as premier customer. But after 3 months, don't withdraw all la, leave behind min RM200k to stay in touch with your RM ma.

What if I deposit more than 750K? What are my interest for my RM 750000 to the max bank limit? Or did you mean someone needs to deposit in blocks of RM 250K to enjoy the 4%?

It is not very attractive if I deposit only RM 750K. The effective rate is only 3.33333%.
*
Er..Maybe my posting confused you, I refer those who make FD placement in the blocks of RM200K or higher as rich people who has millions of $ in their bank accounts.
eSavers is a savings account and the rates are tiered basis, if there is no cap, these rich fella are best benefited because they don't need play musical chair for the OCBC 5% but 1m cap.

The other day i met this bunch of ppl, who are active into pledging FDs. But i also got to know these ppl have tons of loans (including housing) which are not paid off and the loans are much more than the FD sums. Wouldnt it be more prudent to park the moneys into the housing loans to enjoy the "savings"?

Anyone here who does the same care to enlighten me a bit?
*
Last time we can use 30% term loan and 70% OD to buy a new house. So being kiasu like bro GEN-X, After I kira kira kira, FD so miserably low, I "park the FD into OD" and voila....my "FD" suddenly worked overtime to "earned" me 6% to 7% interest. Until now my OD facility is still there unused right from the disbursement but the best thing is I use the OD facility as a no cost, no commitment yet highly liquid "Opportunity Fund" to standby for opportunity deployment. tongue.gif

Cant understand how FD park into OD can earn 6%? I used to have an OD but converted into term loan. Of course the term loan is reducing monthly which unlike OD, the loan facility is fixed.

Share opportunity deployment if you come across, tq
*
Oh sorry, I put it too briefly. It simply means instead of placing money in fd, place it in od to cover up the outstanding overdraft. OD interest is always higher than fd interest. i don't earn the OD interest actually but I save from paying the high OD interest. So my cost of borrowing is actually equivelent to the fd rate.
As for the opportunity deployment thingy, I just learned these jargon from bro gark today. I used to call my standby OD fund as contingency fund but now I know i can name it as opportunity fund too. biggrin.gif

Islamic banking can not have FD in the first place, instead it use the term investment and the interest rate is replaced by profit.

But I heard Islamic product's profits are usually fluctuate,
just like Bank Rakyat... anyway, I am not so sure about this..

Guess why the bank put indicative profit ? Because future profit can not be predetermined. In can predetermined a future profit then the profit tak halal already.

Well, if the bank no need to keep to the advertised indicative profit promise, then even they advertise 10% indicative profit, no body would want to invest.

Hi

To all members of FDMCG clan, this sms from SCB just came in to my mobile minutes ago. Looks like we have another round of FDMC game to play with. (I'm referring to the sms at the top.)

80:20 is just an explanation of the profit sharing, but they will still pay 4%.

The customer service guy was very confident about the islamic FD interest rate not being fixed.
I wonder how can we confirm this since OCBC's officers ALWAYS seem to have different versions of the same product!
*
Sometimes customer service people just want to play safe of what they say, similar to the SCB customer service advising one of the forumer here to keep the esavers account balance until 4th Jan at low interest rate in order to qualify for the special bonus interest. It was later proven unnecessary.

You can't get an official answer that indicative profit on deposit investment based on mudarabah principals is guaranteed. But off the record, they might verbally tell you it is more or less fixed.
