I posted this in POST 2491 of V2:
"Open acc on 29-5(Tues) with rm32700 and made a ATM withdrawal of rm50 and keep the balance until 31-July.
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.

MGM, thanks for the update. I still havent got my RM300 cashback and not sure I should withdraw or keep the $$$ there. Sigh! rclxub.gif

The OCBC 4.5% is straight forward lah, it's Fixed Deposit - deposit and no need to do anything until maturity (and even by just leaving the 20% in the Smart Saver and not depositing a sen for 3 months until you withdraw it together with the FD, the effective interest rate for the combo is sill more than 4%), unlike SCB Savings Account with T&C requiring some activities.
You got contribute mah in V2, but next time better post something related to FD when you want to write a message  wink.gif else it's consider spamming  tongue.gif
From your previous posts, you are good in analyzing the T&C like aeiou, MGM and gsc and your posts are always informative  thumbup.gif

Thanks.

Assuming below example..

Total fund = 30k
FD = 24k @4.5% for 3 months = 270
SmartSaver = 6k (is there any interest?)

Assuming no interest for SmartSaver, overall for 30k fund is 3.6% interest.

Please correct me coz I think I'm wrong.. tongue.gif

Guys, for the 3-month OCBC combo FD, I've a dumb question. I can just present a single banker's cheque as they can split the amount to FD and the saving a/c right? I do not need to write 2 cheques. Correct me if I'm wrong. blush.gif

1 single cheque will do. When I went for the combo, I split my single cheque to 3 accounts i.e. FD and Smart Saver for Combo and balance into my current account.

You are right, I just made the placement today & there is no limit to the 3-month Savings Combo Promotion  rclxms.gif
Only limit is my pocket  sad.gif
As for the minimum 20% of the FD amount placed under SmartSavers Account. They offer 2.5% - 3% pa depending on the amount of montly deposit into this account. To get 3%, minimum monthly deposit is RM1,000.
*
The min monthly deposit will need to continue for 2 months right, 1st on the start of 2nd month FD tenure and 2nd time on the start of 3rd month FD tenure. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Eg...
15 Aug - Open FD with SmartSaver a/c (30k in FD, 6k in SmartSaver)
15 Sep - Deposit 1k to SmartSaver (30k in FD, 7k in SmartSaver)
15 Oct - Deposit 1k to SmartSaver (30k in FD, 8k in SmartSaver)
15 Nov - FD matured (30k in FD + interest, 8k in SmartSaver + interest)

no need to bank in exactly on the 15th, as long as you bank in the following calendar month. It calculates based on calendar month

no need to bank in in Nov coz 15 Aug is considered as the first month.

Thanks bro.. smile.gif

Don't dare to withdraw the money as I worry I might not get back he RM300. Would like to transfer the funding to HSBC for the 5% promotion in KD.

Not sure what else I can do? call SCB to ask for status?

I called SCB and confirmed we can withdraw the money, just like 1 other member here has confirmed. The guy said the 300 cashback will only be credited in Sept. Not sure how true. Let's wait n see ... rclxub.gif

Just deposit today OCBC Combo with Smart Savers.
Did my calculation approx 4.2% pa for 3 months in total.
Initially when met RM for 3 months rate she quote me board rate, and after that only I ask about Combo and Internet FD then did she elaborate.
Thats the reason we have to have to be ready with our homework before depositing. Then after that her assistant was assigned to do all the paperwork. Relationship Officer (as to her title) was more than helpful & efficient, she did all the explaination & recomendation not only the pros but the cons too.  1+ up for her.  rclxms.gif  The RM1k per month deposit I plan to do it via Giro RM2.00. Less hassle..

Also deposit in the Internet FD thingy, and quite good at max RM25k 4.5% pa rate. Only thing is that the Bankers Cheque must await clearance before deposit thru Internet FD.

One thing about OCBC is, all transfer within own account (internet banking) are subjected to RM2.xx fees.

All in all, upliftment at BR plus depositing at OCBC took me 4 hours (2 hour - BR make mistakes in Bankers Cheques . 2 hour at OCBC)
So its quite a time consuming process for those intending to play musical chairs.

Just an update, someone was asking OCBC online giro, its max RM5k only...

BR FD upliftment Banker Cheque's free..

Same with me too. Luckily the staff reminded me not to withdraw from the SmartSaver a/c in the coming 3 months or else will not entitle for the 3% rate. Overall, we will get 4.25% which is the same as 1 of my housing loan interest rate. Not bad huh smile.gif

If for less than 1 month, I will park in my HLB Junior Account. But the current interest rate of 2.95% is only applicable for first RM50K, but, I have few HLB Junior Savings Accounts and in different branches too. First withdrawal per month free, subsequent withdrawals RM2 Fee. Banker cheque fee RM5.15, luckily I have PB so it's only RM0.15/cheque.
Yah, me too, if not needing the funds for more than 1 month, I'll just go with any promo that is competitive.
4% still pretty good rate.
Bro, gsc is saying for next month lah.
Young man, because of you, unker started a new blog which should be faster to download.

Yes, just called OCBC. It seems that there are 2 FD promotions:
1) Combo deal, open over the counter for 3-mth FD @ 4.5% p.a. and need to maintain 20% of the FD amount in a saving account. No cap on the amount. After 31-Aug, there's a cap of 2mil. and FD interest drops to 4% p.a.
2) Online FD placement, 2-mth FD @ 4.5% p.a., no need to keep 20% of FD amount in a saving account. Capped at 25k.

correct me if i'm wrong..
BTW, any difference between a banker's cheque and regular cheque? I intend to open an OCBC combo using a regular cheque but the phone officer said I have to wait for the cheque to clear (could take 2 days) before the commencement of FD...
*
From above, imho item 1 is slightly more worth it - average 4.25% for 3 months overall (but need to top up 1k in Sep and another 1k in Oct).

sorry it is not that straight forward, existing non-premier customer has to open RM10k FD and deposit RM1k into saving account then only can enjoy 1% bonus interest (existing is 2.95%, 2.95 + 1 =3.95%). The saving account has to be remained open till 31 Jan 2013. The savng account bonus interest is based on average daily balance (AOB)

I have just gone for OCBC FD/Saving combo 3-month 4.5%p.a promo....
Hehehe, die hard FDMCGC member here, even though it is a bit complicated.  tongue.gif
Gone to the Masjid Jamek branch, the premier banking tellers were terrible, straight faces and don't know the product details.
Luckily got a helpful sweet RM helping me.  biggrin.gif  Deal done within 30min time with nice Espresso while waiting...

Confirm the following from the RM:
1. promo revised to end by 31 Aug, new promo not annouced yet but likely lower rate.
2. the smart saver account (SSA) can be cancel after 3 months without charge.
3. amount in SSA can be earmarked once only per day even if you split to multiple FD cert, but you still get the flexibility of uplifting individual cert. The key is the earmarked amount is untouchable to entitle for 4.5% FD rate.
4. interest for SSA is credited at end of each month.
5. interest for SSA in the same month as FD start will get 3%, as you already deposited min RM2k (so it is best if you get into this at beginning of the month, i.e. 3% for the entire month)
6. interest for SSA is calculated for each month and no dependancy in between months, i.e. you can choose to deposit 1k the 2nd month and no deposit on the 3rd month.
7. Banker's cheque upon uplifting of FD will cost RM0.15.
8. FD starts on the same date as cheque deposit date.
9. If use SSA as the source of fund for online FD, it will be consider withdrawal and get only 0.5% even the original earmarked amount is untouched.
*
Thanks for pt 4/5. But for pt 6, I was told previously that if one doesn't deposit a single ringgit on 2nd or 3th month, the SSA interest is only 0.5%, not 2.5% (0% if withdrawal is made). There's a table showing the amount to deposit to get different SSA rates. 1k n above, we will get 3%. Please correct if I'm wrong blush.gif

OCBC Smart Saver account interest of 0.5% is only applicable for the month you did a withdrawal.

If one does not withdrawal or deposit any money, the Smart Savers account interest rate shall be 2.5% for that month.

If you deposit (no withdrawal) RM50 to RM999.99 you get to earn 2.85% for a particular month.
If you deposit RM1K and above (once again no withdrawal done), then you are entitled to 3% interest for the month.

Example, you deposit RM1K on 28th August and then go withdraw RM1 on 30 August 2012, the interest rate applicable shall be 0.5% for the month of August 2012.
