I believed they called it Gold Leaf, I have that though..

Its not only interest rates but gifts that are being given with deposit at Alliance, OCBC, Bank Rakyat n others. Wonder whether next forummers can post promotion with possible gifts info galore.. tongue.gif

I would love to deposit (decent rates of course) at banks that give free Ipad...

wah you got a Mont Blanc Pen in January 2012, same time I sign up for OCBC Premier Banking, so how come I only got the pathetic Passport Holder  mad.gif Oh I forgot, you different league, the extra interest you earn from playing FDMC earns you a Jap car with time whereas for my case, not even enough to change my car tires  tongue.gif

I would have thought that all branches has the same gifts. For the Mont Blanc each RM250k has to be earmark for 12 mths failing which cash penalty would be imposed.

Bank Rakyat gives hampers, bags, shoes bag, towels..

I was offered that decorative piece too but chose the passport holder instead. But both also useless gift.
Now you tell me, so at least I don't feel "cheated" because I earned 5% 3 Months FD for the total amount of AUM (well, almost full AUM because had to open a current account and a basic savings account to be eligible for the 5%) when I signed up for OCBC Premier  thumbup.gif

Besides me, only sylille reported that she also got 5% for total AUM back in early January. FYI, FDMCGC was derived from sylille's definition of moving funds around i.e. Musical Chair.

Same thing like those who deposit under ocbc combo deals, 20% in smart saver can be taken out..... must next time be faster to take advantage of loopholes..

It is confirm that can top up saving combo but 20% has to be kept at smart saver. Before end of Aug, effective interest rate is 4.2% (4.5% and 3%)in Sept will be 3.8%.(4% and 3%).

Better open on line FD for two months at 4.5% , max rm25000.

Bro, just for clarification. I have both as below.

1. OCBC Combo deals 80% FD 4.5%, 20% in Smart Savers (deposit next 2 mths RM1k each).
If I use Giro, to transfer on 1 September then its considered after clearance around 3/4 Sept?

2. Online FD is a different deal altogether using different Saving Account, am I right ?

OCBC Combo Deals, Smart Saver interest is in.. exactly 3%..

I think smart savers account cannot be touched even after 90 days is up, as it would constitutes as withdrawal, simply have to wait until the calender month is up..

I think the gold art (look like golden peach) is from Ocbc since it is like common gift throughout Malaysia Ocbc. The cash voucher is for those recommending firends. Strange to know it is out of RM pocket and not to disclse to others.

I dont think the RM is telling the exact truth. When collecting cash vouchers, everytime has to sign official receipt. hmm.gif

This unprofessional and irresponsible RM leaves me a bad impression about OCBC...

I suspect this RM steals my gift and put it into her own pocket.. is it possible..?  biggrin.gif


Added on September 11, 2012, 3:10 pm

If this cash voucher is from OCBC, why this RM asked me not to tell anybody??
*
No, it wont be possible for the RM put in own pocket as said everything also have to sign official receipt.
And I would not know about recent cash voucher (Parkson) , previously I received quite a number of secret recipe voucher though.

According to the OCBC hotline agent, usually customer will get free gifts immediately after
signing-up new account. But I did not get anything...

I did sign some paper work but I did not look at them carefully because I trusted her ...probably my mistake.. sad.gif
*
There are two types of free gifts OCBC:-

1. When opening Premier Account - If there is free gift on offer which has to be ask/nego before opening.
2. On recomending new Premier Account Holders - Cash Vouchers

BR
If recomended by Captain Gen-X, can get 0.1% cash to be deposited at BR Savings Account.. tongue.gif

Its 0.05% extra on own deposit and 0.1% cash if recomend friends, thats why put you on table.. tongue.gif

If not kiasu dont need play musical chair, any bank will do..

Early next week, I guess if you don't mind 12 months, you have option of HLB (Junior FD better if you got a kid), UOB and Kuwait Finance House but like I said, compared to BR, both interest rate/dividend lower then BR's dividend.  For 3 months, UOB's promo pretty good (since OCBC out for your case). HLB's 3 month offer only good is you have exactly RM10K to deposit.

As for the two months' time, will be in November, have to wait till then.

Didn't you read magika post that Bank Rakyat reward the person who introduce a new customer 0.1% of the deposit. However, still waiting for him to confirm if it is applicable for BR's "FD".
Maybe aeiou228 may want to check it out, haha
*
Its applicable 0.1% of total FD amount if you recommend friends to deposit in their FD. You will need to open a saving account with BR, then when your friend open FD at any branch, just gave them the name n account number of the referral. I used to give back all the RM to my friends and relatives.

BR also gives free gifts and can nego, if shy get pittiance. I used to get hamper, towels, bags, a few shoe bags, just thick skin and demand, also extra 0.05% rate. Try to be nice and get nothing.

OCBC, when recomending Premier Customers no matter which branch also need to inform who the referral is, also need to ask what is the gifts, and also keep harassing. Be too nice a guy, doesnt pay, be kiasu it pays.. sweat.gif

PS: Pls enquire first.

Bro, next few weeks, when? See first page or check my blog when it is about to mature. Whatever it is, do compare to Bank Rakyat's rate and if you decide to go with them, don't forget to tell them magika recommended you, haha. Come to think of it, if the deposit is of significant sum, get a family member to open an account with BR first and then he/she introduce you to BR  rolleyes.gif

yes, you are right, if one is not happy with his/her current RM, one can do the above. If you know which RM you want, you can even request that she be assigned to you.

Sorry, I am "new" to this. What is RM ? I have FDs with many banks like AmBank, PB, HL etc. No encounter with this RM kind yet. Ha.

Appreciate your help if I can get more and better return via this RM from my FDs.

Thanks.

Its for Premier Banking above RM250k for some banks with a Relationship Manager (RM) handling your account. Dont need to go to counter although sometimes faster at counter.
Pls read back the thread so dont have to ask repeated questions such as PIDM, Islamic Banking, Cooperative Banks and also be aware of doh.gif certain forummers.

magika,

Noted and thanks.

Just finished reading this V3, took me the whole morning in between things.

Very informative. Did not know that we are entitled to the extra FD interest if the mature date is on the weekend.

I have one FD with HL due on Fri and the counter lady suggested that I wait for a day later to withdraw as it takes some time for their computer system to update. Captain Gen X used Malboro cigarette as the value yardstick but I don't smoke. So I use durain as my value yardstick. Each day lost in FD interest = few good D26 durains  for me. I think I will insist that I get $ on the mature date.

Cheerio.
*
Yes, need to insist or ask them to pay three days interest. Pls calculate interest due to you before upliftment as some of us(me) have found out. hmm.gif
