I believe certain banks allow it.

Such as CIMB.

Captain, usually how soon do we know the result after this BNM meeting?
*
The result is on the day itself by major news coverage.

If the central rates retain unchanged, no change from the bank.

If there's change in the rate, the bank will take time to implement the rate. Maybe 1 to 2 weeks my guess.

No la, I don't want to be smart in fixed deposit. I just want to place the deposit only. I'm very lazy to read tnc one. I prefer the old days where advertised rate is the effective rate. No putar belit one. rclxub.gif

Totally agreed with that view!

Seems like OCBC is promoting that FD campaign on radios too! I heard it on one Chinese radio channel.

If you do not attend to it, they'll auto renew it. I believe the interest will be added to the principal.

After renewal, then, if you withdraw it, you'll be getting any interest for the new renewal.

Why carry cash? Convert to Cashier's Order or Bank Draft to bring over to other banks.

Is that charges involved? Does it worth for the interest difference of <0.5% and also to cover the charges incurred for transfer if any?

Just my two cents.

There's another type of IBG called RENTAS (CIMB calls it Instant Transfer). The transaction is more expensive. Fund appears immediately at beneficiary account.

HL calls it PAY+ . but got limit per day right? says RM5k per day?
*
Limit should be similar to standard IBG.

From CIMBClicks:

QUOTE
Transaction limit

You can transfer any available amount to your own CIMB account(s)
Transfer up to a maximum of RM5,000 per day for fund transfers to a third party account within CIMB Bank or CIMB Islamic or to an account in another bank via IBG or Instant Transfer.

QUOTE(suadrif @ Apr 10 2012, 09:37 AM)
quick question.
can i do this:

1. i put rm5k into fixed deposit for contract for 4 months
2. wait for 4 months to get 3% interest
3. withdraw it after 4 months, collect dividen
4. bank in again rm5k into fixed deposit, for 4 months
5. repeat all over again.

which means in 1 year, i can get 4% x3 = 12% in a year
am i correct? or i am too simple minded?
*
The 3% is per annum rate. You need it to divide with with 3 to get the 4 months rate which is roughly 1%.

i am not sure about the rate if its per annum or per month because some bank does not mention the unit rate.
Now i know it is per annum rate smile.gif
thanks for the nonconstructive post  whistling.gif

Just as per norm, the advertised rate is per annum basis.

Guys, I'm kinda new to all this FD in Msia.

I'm wondering how come Msia bank FD interest so high minimum also 3% compared to eg Singapore and Brunei usually only 0.xx%?
*
The FD interest is governed by the OPR rate from BNM. Current OPR rate is at 3% since May 2011.

Sorry I'm new to the terms OPR BNM what do they mean?
Since Msia FD interest so high, does it make sense that Bruneian/Singaporean would wanna open FD in Msia?
I know ya, taking into consideration of the exchange rate by the end of the FD period.
*
OPR means overnight policy rate.

BNM is acronym for Bank Negara Malaysia - Malaysian Central Bank.
