Hmm.. 12 mths.. for average 3+%. Not bad. Better than what Uncle sam can give me.
But, then again, who's need to hold treasury now? nod.gif

Guys,

I thought I saw an ad from OCB or UOB bank (not sure) on 3.8% FD for 12 mths just two weeks ago.. but wondering if anyone here could confirm.

Savings Combo
Enjoy exclusive 12-month Fixed Deposit/Mudharabah General Investment Account-i interest/ indicative profit rate when you put aside 20% of the Fixed Deposit or Mudharabah General Investment Account into your selected Current/Current-i or Savings/Savings-i Account at the same time.

3.80% for 12 months

Mean effective yield is about 3.64%...anyone can confirm my calculation? unsure.gif

Thanks PinkSpider for digging this up...

Btw, how do you come up with effective rate of 3.64%?

Looks like there is clause on this.. "when you put aside 20% of the Fixed Deposit into your selected Mudharabah General Investment Account into your selected Current/Current-i or Savings/Savings-i Account at the same time."

The board and declared rates for 12-month Malaysia Ringgit Fixed Deposit and Mudharabah General Investment Account-i as at 1 March 2012 is 3.15% p.a. The amount deposited into Current/Current-i or Savings/Savings-i Account under this offer will be earmarked for 90 days starting from the placement date.

Kinda of confusing.. How exactly does one get 3.8% yield as promised? hmm.gif

25 April 2012 to 25 May 2012 = 30 days only.
Ensure the interest calculation is divided by 366 days

What was the step-up promo rate offer by SCB?

Eligible Customers must place a minimum amount of RM50,000 (subject to a maximum of RM1,000,000) in fresh funds in a 6-month Step Up Fixed Deposit with SCBMB during the Promotion Period. “fresh funds” means funds in Ringgit Malaysia which do not originate from any account held with either SCBMB or SCSB.
  
5. Eligible Customers who fulfill the above requirements will enjoy special interest rates on the Step Up Fixed Deposit (“Step Up Rates”) as set out in Table 1 below:
 
5.1 The Step Up Rates will be higher in each month of the Step Up Fixed Deposit term (each month called a “Cycle”).
5.2 At the end of each Cycle, the interest earned on the Step Up Fixed Deposit in that Cycle will be credited into the Eligible Customer’s current account or savings account as nominated at the time of placement (“Nominated CASA”)
5.3 Upon maturity of the Step Up Fixed Deposit, all proceeds will be automatically credited into the Nominated CASA.
5.4 An Account Confirmation Advice will be sent to each participating Eligible Customer after placement of the Step Up Fixed Deposit, to confirm the details of the Cycles.

Thanks Lipton tea,

I was hoping they would compound the interests back into the original FD account instead of dropping
the interest into another "current" or "saving" account.
What's the current interest that they have in their "current" or "saving" account?

What the plan after 6-month? Withdraw everything and look for another offer?

RM 8000 x 3.8 x 3/12 = RM 76 (assuming zero interest earned on the RM2000)
RM 10000 x 3.8 x 9/12 = RM 285

total interest = RM 361
interest rate 361/10000 is 3.61% . this is an approximation as bank is using day to calculate interest

Thanks for the calculation.

So far.. I think Affin Bank still offer the best straight rate (3.6%) town for a 12 months FD without all the "step-up" and "special clause" gimmicks that other banks are doing.

it is max RM50000, min RM10000. If max limit not set, people will put more than that. Bank objective is to attract more customers base and set the limit per customer.

Premier customer min. RM 300,000. 50% of FD entitled to 5%.

This is is mighty promotion, min RM10000, maximum RM50000 for FD. 1st Saturday every mth is the mighty weekend. But this Sat is public holiday thus next saturday is mighty weekend. Advice to call the OCBC branch which you intend to go as branch operates differently

Thanks gsc.. looks like OCBC has two offers:

a) This 'mighty' FD promotion with limited weekend opening, a min 10k & max 50k deposit, a 3 mths only 4% pa deal.

b) 3.8% FD for 12 mths but required 20% of the FD amt to be deposited in 'saving' or 'current' account at the same time and freezed up for 3 mths.
