Mach FD 4%
The interest you earn they will put inside to your debit card. You cannot cash out, you have to use the card to shop, to spend. You cannot earn compound interest, no snowballing.
The interest they gave you, in the end will take back 1% to 2% from merchants.
After the telemarketing explained to me, I throw back some simple questions to him back. He kept quiet. I asked them back. Who is the winner?
Customer? Merchant or Hong Leong bank?
Ah...!! You probably missed out our discussions about MACH FD in the earlier pages where fund in the MACH SA can be GIRO out to any bank account at the cost of 10sen per transaction up to the limit of rm10k per day.
From now on, you don't have to 'spend' your money in order to 'cash out' fund from 'debit card'.
By the way, HLB actually don't credit the FD interest into your debit card, instead, they credit the interest to your MACH SA in which a debit card linked to this SA was issued to you.
The max monthly interest you can earn from MACH FD 4% promo is approx Rm833.33 due to the max deposit cap of rm250k. So if you wish to maximize the compounding interest, rm833 is sufficient enough to make a FD placement.
You win, merchant win and HLB also win.
