I don't see anything on Mach FD in my Hong Leong Connect

just called Affin bank...the service rep told me that only RM 1 mil in the CASA gets 3.71% for the duration of the promo..

12 months FD is at 3.6%...no special promo going on now.

looks like can cross off Affin for now.

very limited mach branches
that the only concern
like the kuwait fin
require u open money box account also

Hi, just returned from Mach branch at Sunway Giza. The 4% promo only starts today and end 7 March.

For those intend to open the FD with banker's cheque or personal cheque, I was told only the Sunway Giza branch can process on the same day, i.e. FD starts on cheque bank in date. Other branches will ask you to bank in your cheque at Hong Leong Cheque Deposit machine (at HLB and and not at Mach branch) into MoneyBox acct; after cheque clear only you transfer fund to new FD via online.

I went to Mach branch at Paradigm Mall and end up got to visit the Mach branch at Sunway Giza to open the FD.

Well, at least secure a solid 4% p.a. straight FD for 12-mth, less hassle for me.

As per HL Connect, I am new to it, still learning on how to use it...

As I understood from the Mach teller, once you have the MoneyBox acct (open at Mach branch), you can operate (placement/uplift) the Mach FD via HL Connect, i.e. an eFD product.

Say I open MoneyBox a/c at any Mach branch, then I just bank in the check and start new FD via online? And upon maturity, I can withdraw it from ATM? Sounds good if true then I can avoid to walk in counter and waste the hussle..number queue, time and parking. Will be good if they offer cheaque book, do they?

Ok, found the button called "New Mach FD Placement" inside the MoneyBox acct detail screen. This is to open new Mach FD.
I am new to HL Connect myself... Hope this helps.

Hi, I see the Mach FD like eFD from other banks, e.g. MBB that I am using. You can double confirm with the bank. Not sure about cheque book.

Thanks I got it already, it's only available to Mach by HLB MoneyBox account holders.

Just a small pillow as a token, nothing much.

Now this is interesting

So highest FD rate is MARC, then UOB? I am also looking for FD to temp park my money for 1 year.

Need to find out the existing rate first. If 12-mth rate @3.4%, then the effective only @ 3.6%, upon uplift the extra rate is void, not flexible.

The marc promotion looks a good deal as it is under pidm ad well. May visit the office to open an account first.

There's no MACH branch in Penang island.

From T&C: http://www.affinbank.com.my/news/campaign/...eFortune-EN.pdf

To participate:
a. New customers must open a CASA account and maintain minimum incremental MAB of RM 20,000 in the account
b. Existing customers need to top-up a minimum incremental MAB of RM 20,000 into their CASA account

Yeah too bad. Just found out that the branch only available in kl selangor.

Current AmBank board rate for 12-months is 3.20%

Among the higher non-promotional board rates after Bank Rakyat and Affin.
