Thank you for the fd rates information.

After reading all of the fd rates, I've decided to open fd at Kuwait Finance House at 3.85%. Was told that the up front interest will be credited to my savings account in about a weeks time. Another surprise is that if the amount in the savings is above RM1,000, their saving rate would be at 2% which is quite a good rate for savings. The savings account comes with Internet banking and meps card.

Wow, the upfront interest is really tempting.  drool.gif And it is PIDM protected too!
If you put the upfront interest as new FD, it will push the 3.85% to near 4% (3.998%)!!  drool.gif
But...Boh ho ho... cry.gif  just called KFH and their 3.85% promo has just ended. No new promo yet.
The board rate for 12-month is only 3.25%. So sad...
My GIA-i at ocbc is maturing in Jan... hope there are more 12-mth promo coming up soon. Too tired to run after 3-mth musical chairs...

Hi, just to update, I called KFH two days ago asking for new FD rates, the CS told me their new offer now is 3.88% from Jan to March 2013.

If the interest can be redeposited at 3.88%pa, effective return will be 4.03%.

KFH pays upfront interest, however, the interest goes to a savings account, and if the savings account is maintained above RM2,000.00, the saving interest is 2.00% per annum.
