I also found out UOB does not pay interest for the last day of FD.

For my case like example:
I placed my 3 months FD with UOB on 3 December 2012, maturity date printed on FD cert is 4 March 2013 (because 3 March was Sunday).

If calculates from 3 December 2012 to 4 March 4 2013, they are 92 days.
But UOB only paid 91 days interest.

I talked about this issue to the FD head of the UOB branch, she said because most people will come to withdraw FD during the maturity date, so UOB will not give interest for the last day of FD.

Then I asked OCBC about this issue, OCBC said they would pay interest for the last day of FD.

interesting... good to know, tq.

the natural next question is do banks, any bank pay interest on the day of making the fd?

or there is always a 1 day "no interest"?

The OCBC 3.8 better or 4.5% better?

I plan to open one..

The 4.5% need minimun 7.5k?
*
OCBC 3.8% is actually 6 months tenure.
First 3 months you get 3.8% p.a. each month, for the next 4th, 5th and 6th month, you get 2.85% board rate each month.
Please find the effective rate on the first page.

Please check out page 5 for Bonus Savers Deal's promo rate 4.5% for 3 months (effective rate is 3.96%), it
requires minimum of RM 7500.00 (RM 5000.00 for FD, RM 2500.00 for Smart Savers or CASA, but it is always better to sign-up or
use Smart Savers account rather than CASA in terms of better interest rate return).

http://www.ocbc.com.my/assets/pdf/Accounts...5Jan2013_v4.pdf

You can see the Smart Savers interest table on the first page.
If you can top-up RM 1000 each month for subsequent two months, you will get 2.9% rate in your Smart Savers account.

I suggest to take Bonus Saver Deal, but it is depending on your personal financial planning..

These are the banks what I can think of:

Banks pay interest once the check is submitted during the first day of FD (must bank-in check before 4.00 pm):
(1) UOB
(2) OCBC
(3) CIMB
(4) Kuwait Finance House
(5) Am Bank

Not Major Commercial Bank (Koperasi)
(1) MBSB
(2) Bank Rakyat


Banks do not pay interest until the check is cleared:
(1) Standard & Chartered
(2) HSBC


So far I just found out only UOB does not pay interest for the last day of FD.

The FD head from the UOB branch also predicted the FD rate will be either drop or maintain in Malaysia market.

But I did not understand why she said: when election is approaching, better place FD in short term..?

You are more than welcome. Captain.
Don't mention "permission" lah.. this is a very small matter mah..
This was what KFH Pavillion told me: KFH will bank in advance interest within 2 weeks.

KFH needs at least 2 working days to clear the check before they pay advance interest.
If place FD in KFH Pavillion, these are the parking fees involved:

(1) First day to place FD: RM 5.00
(2) To collect FD cert from KFH few days later (maybe 2 to 3 working days?): RM 5.00
(3) To collect advance interest within 2 weeks: RM 5.00
(4) To collect principle money when FD is matured: RM 5.00
Total: RM 20

Can save RM 5.00 if collect FD cert and advance interest on the same day.

I heard KFH can send somebody to depositor's house or office to collect check for placing FD.
But I am not sure if KFH can deliver FD cert or not?

Bro... No2 Are u sure need to collect few days later ?

Nice to see you again, Bro.

I have never placed FD with KFH, but if I am not mistaken, KFH does not give FD cert on the spot, do they?

Like Bank Rakyat, sometimes they can only prepare FD cert in about 4 days later.

Since you have a FD account from KFH, then you are right and I am wrong.. blush.gif

I love to have advance interest but I hate to go to KL downtown to place FD...

I feel like KFH's style is very similar to Bank Rakyat

Why the parking is free?

3 possibilities:
(1) KFH gives you free parking? Like put a stamp on the parking ticket so you can get free parking?
(2) You can find free parking there easily? Like park in the alley?
(3) KFH is inside the business building or shopping mall which provide free parking for first 1 or 2 hours? But this is impossible

Yeah kah? It seems KFH provides a better customer service in Penang..
No wonder Penang is selected to be the 8th best place to live in the world.. biggrin.gif

I already asked KFH Pavillion can they provide free parking in Pavillion, they said no, no, no, because KFH
will need to pay for the parking fee.

Another KFH on Jalan Pinang is also not easy to find parking unless pay parking fee for it. But I am not sure if
KFH on Jalan Pinang will offer free parking or not? It is a very traffic congested area..

Other KFH branches are very far from me... sad.gif


How soon can you get your advance interest?

I found out this when I was in UOB this afternoon:

If the FD account has one name only, if put the same name on the check when withdraw, then UOB charge RM 0.15 for the check.
If the FD account is joint-account with 2 names, if put the same 2 names on the check when withdraw, then UOB charge RM 0.15 for the check.

If the FD account is joint-account with 2 names, if put only one of the names on the check when withdraw, then UOB charge RM 2.15 for the check.

If put or add other person name(s) on the check, then UOB will charge RM 2.15 for the check.

So in conclusion, if the name(s) on the check is exactly the same on the FD account, then the check will cost RM 0.15; otherwise the check will cost
RM 2.15

Guys, newbie here. Let's say if I wanna withdraw a huge sum of money from my saving account (i.e CIMB) to put into another bank's FD, how can I do so? Request a bank draft from CIMB? Or a cheque? How much will they charge for that?

Request CIMB to prepare a Banker's Cheque in your name to deposit into FD account. Some banks are charging RM2.15 or RM5.15, not sure about CIMB.
