above 100k?

Did anyone know where are the Mach branches in Klang valley? Thinking to open FD there, I believed this will be the highest one for saving less than 50k.

OK, noted.

Did you nego for higher than 0.1%?

Its 12 month deposit, board rate at 4.01%pa, nego sucessfully increased it to 4.20% pa with 0.1% for introducer thereby effective 12 months 4.30%pa.

Wa lau eh, if I didn't ask, you senyap-senyap la...

Fuh...but really you are a trailblazer! 4.20% for 12-month tenure Respect...respect...haha!

But how is it possible that your incentive rate as an introducer was considered as an FD rate? Aren't the 0.1% suppose to be credited into your SA?

Mine was credited into SA.

Ya, I considered it as FD rate because at the end of the day what matters is the returns nothing else . You can name it as what also does not matter, cashback , incentive and the likes. What really matters is the returns, so the same goes for banks or financial instituition, not really looking at quality of service provided, for musical chair players , safe good returns are above everything else, Premier or Private Banking status is of no importance either.

Regarding the credit into SA, my total AUM interest is also credited into SA monthly, and will be withdrawn to compund it further.

You da man! (I assume la)...I reckon if you go for the >60 month tenure, you'll get 5%.

Frankly speaking, I was planning to deposit it into EPF, however I was a bit late or lazy to make a decision, so maybe will deposit it at max RM60k pa later on. Better deposit at EPF than 5 year tenure elsewhere. That where Bro gsc made a wise decision in my opinion.

If person A uplifts his FD and put that amount to a new FD account under person B (new customer), can get introducer fee?
