To add, why should tax payers "repay" those "greedy" people wanting to deposit in those institutions for a little bit more interest (instead with those where their funds are insured under PIDM) in the first place,  tongue.gif
*
thats right. shouldn't bail those greedy people, only deposit with Bank Simpanan should be guranteed. BSN not under BN?? cool2.gif

btw, only deposit up to RM250k are insured by PIDM, so would be wise for those deposit more than that to spread around to a few banks shocking.gif

I got a response from PIDM regarding bank rakyat:

Kindly be informed that all commercial banks licensed under the Banking and Financial Institutions Act 1989 and all Islamic banks licensed under the Islamic Banking Act 1983, including foreign banks operating in Malaysia, are member institutions of PIDM. Membership is compulsory as provided under Akta Perbadanan Insurans Deposit Malaysia. However, Bank Rakyat under Cooperative Bank not compulsory to become PIDM membership because as provided under Development of Financial Institution Act (DAFIA) and Malaysia government. All depositors at Bank Rakyat will be protected by Malaysia government under Ministry of Finance.

So you are protected but not through PIDM.
*
so BR protected, but until RM??? PIDM until RM250k

all sifu,

would like to know which bank offers the best FD product as per below conidtions:

- FD principal amount = RM3.0 millions
- FD tenure = 60 months
- need FD interest credited monthly

What is the best interest rate currently bank offers?

Heard someone said if FD deposit more than RM1.0 millions, you might have lower interest rate / kena withholding tax.

Also, how to calculate the FD interest amount per month?
e.g. RM3.0 mil x % of interest rate / 5 years x 30 or 31 days?

Should I separate the amount (e.g. RM1.0 mil per bank) or all into one bank?

Also, knowing that maybank offers 3.8% p.a. for 60 months but don't know whether it applies to RM3.0 mil or not?  any advice?
Your kind attention and helps are much appreciated.  TQ in advance
*
Can try Bank Rakyat more than 60mths 4.65% i think, can nego for extra %. Interest i believe is credited monthly. Why not go and ask? If i am introducer then maybe can get some benefits. whistling.gif

just use excel to calculate .. maturity date - dep date will get u number of days , then divide by 365 x %. got this from the forum. However just to note, Maybank calc is slightly unconventional.

I though you already have an existing OD facility.
The fastest is FD pledge against temporary OD on your current account. But must find out the processing fee of this option first to see if it still worth it.
It is good to have an OD (pledge against your property) facility for occasional ad hoc "deployment" (I quote the term used by one of the forumer here) of some contingencies. With OD account, one can take advantage of chq clearing time too (Off topic, I wouldn't elaborate it here).   
I always advise my friends when they buy their first house to split the housing loan to 2 types of loan ie term loan and OD. The banks normally allow up to 50% of the total loan amount in the form of OD facility. Just make sure you have enough spare cash to cover up the OD upon final loan disbursement to save interest ( you spare cash now work harder to give you better return in OD rather than in FD).
*
Thats what OCBC quote me is FD pledge. No processing fees n BLR - 1. Trying to see what option is open to me as occasionally n unpredictably i need large amount of cash. OCBC needs 7 days. Trying to find out whether any FD deposits came with OD options which can be instantly mobilised.

its ok as using less than 10 days vs uplift my fds. Any better rates offer for OD.

E.g : FD RM150k - 3.26% Expected returns RM401.92

OD RM150k - 5.6% 7 days OD RM184.11 rclxm9.gif

SCB 's latest campaign (cashback reward) gives up to rm300 (4% return - annualised) if your average daily balance is rm30000 or more for a period of 3 months in the CASA. Presumably you would still get the usual 1.6% pa for the supersalary casa.

Not quite understand their cash back reward but it sounds good:

http://www.standardchartered.com.my/person...aign/index.html

Both existing CASA customers and new CASA customers are eligible. I think we don't need to put in RM30,000 right away, just add RM10,000 each month for three months something like that.
*
it does not sound good when there are too many tricky words in the terms n conditions. shakehead.gif

its 1% cashback when u use the debit card, but if looking at the example(T&C) only ADB min 10K (per mth 300k) rclxub.gif

I'm talking about the offer of deposit in bank of SCB, they now offer up to RM300 as an interest of putting a sum in. Isn't this sound like FD?

From last year to now there already had come up some really good offer. If you with them for a while, you know they don't like to play trick..

Standard Chartered Deposit CashBack Rewards Campaign and Gold Coin Contest
4. To participate, new customers must open an e$aver or SuperSalary account in either May or June 2012 and existing customers must have a
current or savings account (CASA) with Standard Chartered Bank Malaysia Berhad or Standard Chartered Saadiq Berhad before 1 May 2012.
5. Average balance = Total of day-end balances in the CASA account every day in that month/ Number of days. Average balance growth is the
increase in average balance as compared to April 2012.
6. Customers must perform at least one online bill payment or ATM cash withdrawal or debit card purchase transaction from their Standard
Chartered account during the promotion period.
7. To be eligible for CashBack, customers must have minimum RM10,000 CASA average balance growth in either May or June 2012, as
compared with April 2012 CASA average balance, and maintain the amount of that growth for 3 months, as well as satisfy all other criteria.
8. CashBack amount depends on customer’s CASA average balance growth.
9. For the Gold Coin Contest, customers are entitled to 1 contest entry for every RM5,000 in their total CASA average balance growth in each
campaign month (May or June 2012) as compared with April 2012 CASA average balance.
10. The above is merely an excerpt of the Terms & Conditions governing the Standard Chartered Deposit CashBack Rewards Campaign and
Gold Coin Contest; and the Free Transaction Fees & Debit Card CashBack on Debit Card Promotion.
Click the above links for full Terms and Conditions.

Excerpt from T & C

Table I
Total CASA Incremental AB (RM)
CashBack Rewards (RM)
10,000 to 19,999.99
100
20,000 to 29,999.99
200
30,000 & above
300
EXAMPLES
Continuing from Example 1 above:
From Example 1, Mr A’s Total CASA comprises 1 Savings and 1 Current account with SCBMB, and his Baseline is RM20,000.
The total of day-end balances in Mr A’s Total CASA during May 2012 is RM1,000,000. His Total CASA AB for May 2012 is RM1,000,000 / 31 days = RM32,258.06. His Incremental AB for May 2012 is therefore RM32,258.06 – RM20,000 = RM12,258.06, which satisfies the May minimum Incremental AB requirement.
Mr A uses his Standard Chartered debit card to pay for petrol on 15 May 2012. He therefore satisfies the Qualifying Criteria in May, and his Tracking Period is from 1 May 2012 to 31 July 2012, (92 days).
The total of day-end balances in his accounts during the Tracking Period is RM5,000,000. His Total CASA AB for the Tracking Period = RM5,000,000 / 92 days = RM54,347.82.
In this case, Mr A’s Incremental AB = RM54,347.82 – RM20,000 = RM34,347.82; which means Mr A will be eligible for RM300 CashBack Rewards.


CONclusion

Can please deduce from the above what is the total needed to get RM300 cashback ? n wat trigger the cashback. Pls inform me n maybe I may not comprehend wrongly. My apologies if misunderstood n no banks play tricks , its just that we ASS..ume

Based on my understanding of the terms and conditions and my calculations, I'm going to do the following:

6-May: Deposit RM11,500 into my existing SuperSalary account (the earliest I can deposit the money since I only know of this scheme now)
22-May: Deposit RM25,000 into my existing SuperSalary account (a bit short on cash now, will get the RM25,000 by 22-May)

Some time in May, I will make a RM10 withdrawal via ATM.

Then I think I will satisfy all the conditions for the RM300 cash back.

Add the RM300 cash back to the 1.5% I will earn from the SuperSalary account, it's roughly equivalent to a total interest rate of 5.45%.

Wonder if there's any flaw in my calculations?

Here are my understanding about the SCB deposit cash back reward, please correct if any mistake found:

First off there are two tracking periods (promotion periods) which are

a) 1 May 2012 to 31 July 2012 (3 months)
b) 1 June 2012 to 31 August 2012 (3 months)


So if you have fund now, you can take the offer now or you can wait until beginning of Jun to start depositing your money.

The cash rewards that you will get will depend on the total incremental average balance (AB) after the tracking period which is 3 months.

For total Incremental AB from RM10,000 to 19,999.99, the cash reward is RM100, from 20,000 to 29,999.99 cash reward is RM200 and 30,000 & above cash reward is RM300

If you are an existing account (esaver ac, current ac, etc) holder in SCB and like to get the maximum RM300 reward. Based on the calculation, you got to deposit in about RM31,500 today and leave it there until 31 July. And make sure you do one of these in the first month (May) of your tracking period:

i.  online bill payment, or
ii.  cash withdrawal via automated teller machine (ATM), or 
iii.  a purchase transaction using a debit card.

Let assumes that your existing account has a balance of RM200 carried forward from April to May and you will deposit RM31,500 in today and leave the RM31,500 unused till 31 July then the calculation of CASA Incremental AB in this case should be:

Total day-end-balances for the tracking period =  RM200 x 3 + RM31,500 X 89 = RM2,804,100.00
Total account Average Balance (AB) = RM2,804,100.00/92 = 30,479.35
Total account Incremental AB = RM30,479.35 - RM200 = RM30,279.35

So after the tracking period, the Total account Incremental AB is RM30,279.35, which will entitle RM300 cash reward.

For new customers to open an account today, they only need to put in RM30,000 and leave till Jul 31 to get the maximum reward. Also you must do one of the mentioned transactions as well.

If you have mastered the calculation, then you know you don't have to put in RM30k ++ immediately to get the maximum rewards. Just make sure you satisfy their criteria in first month and then you can deposit more in later.

No offense, but is it possible that u print this simple statement n ask the manager to countersign.
