HSBC Amanah Term Deposit-i 5% Deposit Drive Promotion until 18 January 2013 for NEW Premier and Advance Accounts

One of the condition is that we must deposit 30% into Premier Account-i or Advance Account-i which pays miserable interest rate.

Click on link below to read my article on the HSBC Deposit Drive Promo where I touched on the T&C and calculated that the maximum effective interest rate for Premier Account is only 3.627%!!!

I've just returned from HSBC Amanah Kota Damansara.
Took their new branch opening offers: 5% 3 month TD-i for non-premier category.  rclxm9.gif
The requirements and process seems rather straight forward.

Required the following 2 products to be openned:
1. Term Deposit-i: min RM5k, max RM50k.
2. Amanah Advance Acct-i: min RM100. rclxms.gif
(I have highlighted about the T&C said min RM500, the teller said RM100 is enough. RM500 is for Amanah Advance Acct-i alone.).  
She said the TD-i slips will be ready when my cheque cleared. I requested her to mail it to me instead of collecting at branch.
I also requested for internet banking. It is FOC.
I was given a big golf umbrella and recycle bag as welcome gifts.  biggrin.gif

This should be the highest FD rate for the moment. Highly recommended.  nod.gif

Hong Leong Bank Latest Step Up Fixed Deposit Promotion Rates

QUOTE(cherroy @ Nov 19 2012, 04:44 PM)
I just came across HL leaflet that got 12 months FD with step up FD 4.28% (for 4Q),
1Q 3.08%
2Q 3.18%
3Q 3.28%
3Q 4.28%.

Other Promotions
Some banks are also offering step up interest rates (with or without condition, e.g. some banks require that you deposit x amount in savings or current account), so you better average them out and I would think they still won't be able to beat Affin 12 months Fixed Deposit rate of 3.6%.

Click here to my new blog called Fixed Deposit Malaysia where I have published an article to show you how you can combine OCBC FD Promotions to earn more money AND how you can continue earning 5% interest if you had opened a joint account earlier where the FD is maturing before 31 December 2012.

ADB from 29-5 to 31-7 is consistently rm32650. So satisfied all requirement to entitle for rm300 cash back in August. Should be allowed to withdraw most of the deposit from 1-8-12."

Went to SCB DU and they say can withdraw from 1-8-12.
Previously SCB JB said must wait until 29-8-12 to get the RM300 cash rebate. Banyak susah oh.

Whoever get the rm300 rebate please report here ASAP.

If I remember correctly, withdrawal from SmartSaver account can only be done over the counter not online. Maybe have to transfer to other CASA that can do online.

Once I can confirm getting my rm300x2 cash rebate from SCB , I will put 50K in HSBC and the balance into this 4.5% OCBC promo. This musical chair sure is getting hotter, one hot offer after another and it is not even year end yet. Didn't actually sit down an calculate the extra interest gained from this effort. Hope it is worth it.

The tracking period is for 3 month
1. May to 31 Jul
1. June to 31 Aug.

So withdrawal outside the tracking period shouldn't affect the ADB movement.
