Ocbc combo must remember to top up RM1000 every month in SS. I have forgotten to top up last month  sad.gif

It can be automated by using own account transfer standing instruction. The service is free but make sure don't transfer from SS account.
Anyway starting from today, the cost of IBG GIRO transfer reduced to 10sen per transaction, thus you can register the standing instruction from any banks without paying the 50sen to RM2 GIRO fee liao.

You will get about Rm600 to Rm650 for 3 months FD. To learn how to calculate the FD interest, just read through few pages backward and you can easily find repeated questions and answers you are asking for.

Is the FD higher for this offer or is it just for the user's preference to have a SDB?
*
This SDB promo offers you a 4% p.a. FD of 3 months. Maximum placement is RM20K nia. Only in Puchong branch.
The SDB security is pretty save and sound. The new branch is a stand alone building all by itself, strong room at upper floor, dedicated lift, dedicated guard outside strong room (forgot to ask if the dedicated guard jaga 24/7 or not.)
No worry about wall-boring thief.

Just called up OCBC customer line, now is just 1/2, no more 2/3 and end of promotion is 30th June

I guess you heard it wrongly.
The amount deposited into the CASA, which is EQUIVALENT to 1/2 of the FD amount, will be earmarked for 3 months.
So if you place RM20K in FD, you must also place RM10k in CASA. It is still 2/3 as usual.

Public Bank is honest to tell you the Effective 12-month FD Rate for this is 4.16%
Looks OK lah.... not too bad with PIDM guarantee.

You get monthly FD interest creditted into the PLUS Savings Account.
*
In this Ad, I would say PBB intentionally published the effective rate 4.15% of FD only in an attempt to camouflage the 80:20 FD:SA placement ratio which in turn will bring down the overall effective rate to 3.2x% p.a.

You can't IBG without recipient's account. The best method for you is to write a chq if you have a chq book or issue a banker's chq.

Why embarrassed seeing our RM, you are the customer and you get to ask your RM to make coffee for you, hahaha.

What is embarrassing is when we park our car beside our RM's car, and she's driving the latest 3 series BMW/A Class and we driving a 10 year old junk, hahaha.

And if you at a party and your new gf is hot, your ex would be the one embarrassed  tongue.gif

Well, to the contrary, I would love to see my RM if I''m free. I would ask her what's new ? any new promo ? any kantao ? Sometimes I do get latest promo from her which is not available in this thread.
Anyway, 8 out of 10 times she is always busy with other PB customers.

I have a question, hope someone can help me.

I have 15k to buy FD

1. OCBC promo FD 4.5% for 3 month
- 10k in FD, i need to have minimum 5k in saving.

2. Bank Rakyat Makeen FD 3.65% for 3 month
- I can put 14k in FD, deposit 500+/-

With the same amount of money, i earn more from Bank Rakyat FD.

Correct me if im wrong. TQ.
*
Your 5k in OCBC's savings account can earn 2.5% or 2.9% interest. You calculate again and see which one better.

It very much depend on individual branch policy. If you observed certain branches does not have many staff to do the immediate processing.

ps: my replies are not combining?
*
It will not combine if you reply a single quote one at a time. You need to tap/click on the quote buttons of all posts you intended to reply then click/tap the "more options" button.

I would prefer to read all quotes in one post rather than several posts. More orderly and neat. Replying quotes in several individual posts will stretch out this thread and it will cause "new to thread" readers longer time to look for essential information.

Sometimes uncombined post is inevitable due to timing but i hope all regulars here try your best to combine quotes using the above method. icon_rolleyes.gif

Received called from Hong Leong bank saying there is a FD promotion 5.25% per year. The staff wanted to make appointment to explain to me. I asked her is this 5.25% a pure FD and not reuired to buy any structured products or unit trust etc..she said is pure FD. I told her email to me the detail first begore meeting up...no news thereafter...anyone of you aware of this FD promo?
*
Apparently, when a "simple fd" which requires meet up to explain, chances are the so called simple fd comes with string attachment.

HLB quite snake, their MACH FD also snaky one.

To the contrary, I find MACH 4% 12 mth FD is the best in its category because it pays monthly interest automatically to my SA. With monthly compaunding interest, the effective rate is higher than 4%

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. biggrin.gif

I am a retiree (67) but still hold an account with EPF with some cash.
Since EPF is paying much better dividend than FD or TD,
I am thinking of putting a certain sum into my account monthly.
Have check with EPF and was told that I can contribute min RM50/mnth and max RM60K/yr.
Any downsides to this scheme?
Would appreciate feedbacks from participants.
TQ
*
The only downside I see is the fund withdrawal options are pretty limited ie you either make lump sum withdrawal or once a month partial withdrawal.
And not as liquid as FD as it may take days to receive the money.
