You just missed the boat with SCB's promo rate.... Wanna add RM30k to my SCB account  ?? ;-)
Try out HLB's promo FD rate of 3.8% but for 12 months
*
hi ronnie, so if i top up in the month of Nov / Dec, the top up amount is eligible for the 5%? account opened in Oct.
Coz somehow i read somewhere saying can only top up in Oct.. i might be very wrong.. thx

Of course your top-up amount + base amount gets the 5% assuming the ADB for Nov & Dec >RM3000

Eg. October :  RM10000, 1st November add RM10000
November's 5% promo will be calculated based on RM20000

Can we clear out our deposit (but leave a token sum behind) from SCB on 30dec and still earned the 5% interest(for 29 days) as long as the ADB is > rm3000?

I think can but just want to reconfirm.

i also wanna know ( I also think can) - i plan to take out all from the account (nothin left behind lolx)

i moved my funds from SCB eSaver to OCBC 3 month FD - the receipt that I got is "GIA-I Fund" something... and no where in the FD slip says 3.5%... even though the teller told me it is 3.5%. weird... it only has a nisbah stating 20-80 I guess...
anyone opened FD with OCBC? pls share if this is normal.. thx smile.gif

I opened mine in Penang OCBC.  The FD certificate did state 3.5%.  Maybe you went for islamic?

Yeah i went to ocbc islamic bank.. Hmm means i will still get 3.5% or not? Sigh seems gotta go to the branch again to verify..

Moving of funds from savings to FD is entitled to the 3.5% Promo?

According to the brochure and the teller - yes wor. But the FD slip i got doesn't state that.
Note - moving funds from scb esaver to ocbc fd. Not scb fd.

of course e$aver is a saving account and you can deposit and withdraw any time and still enjoy 5%. What I dont understand is  the logic of moving out from 5% to 3.5%. May be something we have miss?
*
reason for this:
1) i move the funds on thurs (29Dec) therefore lost the 5% interest only for 3 days in Dec. After Dec 31, the interest rate will be 0.x%
2) I heard OCBC FD 3.5% ends on 31 Dec so I placed my FD on 29 Dec
3) I am on leave on Thurs so I got ample time to do the above

Juz my preference smile.gif

Searched alliance bank website, could not find info on 3 month 3.6% FD wor. Is it true? Anyone opened FD there?
Moving my funds from ocbc so ocbc is not a choice for me.
Seems 3.6% is the best offer at the moment for 3-6 month FD

For the RHB 3.638% did you guy take into consideration of the 10% 90 days in CASA (assume negligible interest)?

If yes, then 3.638% is competitive.

If No, then please someone work out the average for RHB.
*
3.638 is without considering the 10% that is locked for 3 months.
I've done a quick calc, assuming no interest for the 10% from your FD amount for the first 3 months, and for the final 9 months the 10% put into a 9 month FD of 3.2% pa, the effective rate is around 3.526%

Note: no guarantee my formula's correct. To my best effort.

In this case, why dont one go for a 1 time full fd with rate better than 3.6% pa?

Looking for FD for 3/6 months. Guess uob is the better one (ocbc fd maturing so cannot put into ocbc as fresh funds)

Not cOnsidering bank rakyat due to convenience issue.

Please advise where did you get this info?  Can't find it on OCBC webpage.   

Why need to closed account and go back in on Monday?    Since FD already matured, why can't withdraw and open a new FD account; on the same day?    rclxms.gif

I guess because its valid for fresh funds only.
Is this promo for private banking / fd with savings acct only?
