Regarding saving accounts, I have one at Public Bank. Let's say if I have 4-digit savings in the bank now and I want fixed deposit. How to apply?

At least, I have some income protection or sort. Thanks and any investment opportunities? Let me know.
*
Saving to FD is straight forward.......
if you want some kind of protection.....most banks has PIDM protection for you monies...
if you want to have investment opportunities.....(bear in mind as with any investments....there are risk of losing part/all)
if that is ok...try look for some FD with Unit trust investment option...

FD is monthly or annually? I just wanted to secure for savings and little of it be for leisure. I guess some of you out there have sustained good incomes too. Best wishes!  brows.gif

Unit Trust? Let me know is the procedure difficult to make?

Never mind, I went to the bank myself.

Apparently, you must present the bank officer a letter of employment, student ID, or business registration if you're self-employed.

They need to do a background check for fraud prevention (misuse of account, money laundering, etc.).

Hi, I have yet to open a UOB eAccount but feel that 3.5% p.a. interests on entire balance above RM 50k sounds too good to be true. I wonder if they pay lower interest for the first RM 50k, and only 3.5% for balance beyond RM 50k.

Let me know once confirmed?

Does anyone know how does the Tabung feature really work? Is it a seperate thing from your savings account? Does it still earn interest on your savings account? If not, why would you wanna put your money in the Tabung feature?

According to the image & link posted by yklooi.... The bank need not hv to gives you reason....

Yeah, i don’t mind that clause. I want to close the account but it  is a joint account requiring both sides to sign. But having problem to get the other side to follow me to bank. If the bank can touch my other account or FD then problem.

looking and interpreting this clause....

i think it will be auto close.....
what do you interpret?

I am compiling a list of banks that now allow remote bank account opening along with the requirements. Currently i know the followings :
- Hong Leong Bank
- CIMB Bank
- AmBank
- Alliance Bank
- UOB Bank
- HSBC

Any other banks ?
*
i can't remember from which thread,...just recently a forummer posted that a bank advertised remote opening, but end ups he need to go there personally to have his particular verified before he will receive a PW for opening and also need to go there again to confirm account opened

just seem cannot remember which thread or bank name,....
will try to look for it.

All sifus, is Public Bank Unionpay saving account worth to apply? Just to maintain 10k in account balance every month to get RM10 cb?
*
RM10 pm = RM120 pa...
= 1.2% pa

what is the saving rate for this Unionpay saving account?

is it 1st 3k = 0% pa
then 7k @ 0.30% pa = RM 21pa

which meant 10k you will get 21 + 120 = RM141 pa? or 1.41% pa ?

Thanks. So no need to every month pump in rm10k. Just make sure every month balance got rm10k then can easily get rm10 cb per month?

It is worth if you don’t want to put the rm 10k in fd. No need to wait mature date.
*
if that is the case,...many would tell you to put into MMF.....
No need to wait mature date
better rate than this 1.41%

Hey, have you guys seen this latest promo from StashAway? They just shared a promotion for their cash management portfolio where you can earn up to 3.2% per year

Maybe you guys can take a look if it's so difficult to get an additional savings account? There's no lock up period, worth checking out imo

from your posted image,....the 3.2% pa has conditions....

where else,
from their site,...

Mm yeah, based on the website you do need to refer your friends to enjoy the promotional rate of 3.2%

They mentioned a cap of 20k as well, though this doesn't affect me as I won't be putting 20k inside

But generally, the steps seem simple to me given the higher rates that we can get compared to the rates of shorter-term FD/other saving accs

Many had gone to kdi save for the higher cap @3% too though.
