I got a shock when you said MIA, because I thought it was MCA..

Do you have any news from him??

At first I thought you said Captain would help MCA for 1 month for this election..?

Where did you read that he said MIA for 1 month ? Speculation ?

If i recall correctly, at his money for luxury blog or credit card blog

So, Captain will come back in a month later?
But he has been missing for more than a month...

Affin Bank offers 3.7% for saving account (not FD), but minimum deposit is RM 1 million.

Affin Bnak offers extra 0.33% from their board rate for minimum of RM 20K deposit in saving account, if I am not mistaken.

Just came across with MBSB FD promotiion which I think it is extended
from last year November or December until 31 March 2013:

I believe 4.75% is for 5 years tenure.

haha why other banks didnt give hamper geh.. only BR?

how to do that ? share share

I heard AmBank did similar action during CNY. Even deliver to the house !

Any AmBank customer can verify this ?

wats the name of the promotion?

Was told by Affin you don't have to deposit the one million ringgit all at one go in order to enjoy the 3.7% promo rate. Their normal savings rates, depending on the type of account, increase and decrease according to amount of balance you have in your account - http://www.affinbank.com.my/rates/ratesislamic.htm. Now they are offering +0.33% to their normal rates.

For example, if you open a savings account now with RM100,000 you wil get 2.85% + 0.33 = 3.18% pa from 5 Feb to 31 Mar provided you did not withdraw anything from the account during that period. However, since this is a savings account you are allowed to withdraw any amount anytime you like. Let's say you decide to withdraw RM1000 tomorrow. The balance in your account will drop to RM99,000 and you will get 2.80%+0.33%=3.13% pa from 6Feb to 31 Mar. So, you will have earned the 3.18% for only one day.

Conversely, if tomorrow you decide that you want to deposit another Rm900,000 into your account, which means your balance is now RM1 million, you will get 3.38%+0.33%=3.71%pa from 6Feb to 31 Mar provided,again, you did not withdraw any amount from the account until 1 Apr.

Thus, depending on how much you withdraw and deposit, your interest rate will flactuate according to the amount of your balance at the end of each day. Bear in mind that interest is calculated on daily rest.

I am familiar with Affin because I have an account with them and their service, at least in my branch, is superb. They put the other banks RM to shame. Even though I am not a PB customer, they constantly update me via phone on my account status and even give me a shopping voucher, dairies and umbrellas and even a CNY hamper without my asking for them! Their staff are so accessible and best of all, their CASA account earns relatively high interest and is a very flexible and convenient place for me to park my money while waiting for the music to start again in musical chair game

The Affin Bank example I gave is based on the Affin GOLD-i which is available those who are 50yrs and above.

Asked my RM it seems that it is possible to close and open again SS. But I think very soon the bank will come with some rules to close the hole
