Hi everyone,

silly question here.

Is it the FD withdrawal for a banker cheque can only be done on the FD placement branch?

can it withdraw on any branch? my FD is on Public Bank.

Thank you

This was discussed in the previous thread - yes and no. Majority of the bank only allow you to withdraw at the branch you placed the FD.

And for the record, Mach by Hong Leong is giving contradicting information in their Products T&C, FAQ and Products Disclosure Sheet too. In the Products T&C, it stated the minimum account opening deposit is RM200. But in the FAQ page, it stated there the minimum account opening deposit is only RM50. Moreover, up till yesterday, it is stated in the fee disclosure table that we need to pay RM1 for each ATM cash withdrawal using the debit card even it is through HLB/HLIB own ATM. But they amended this already today and it is actually free.

Luckily we have edwardcgg who is willing to find out and share the information with us!

Seems like HLB are not reviewing their documents before posting to the public. Thanks for the info about FREE for HLB ATM withdrawal rclxms.gif

However, the minimum deposit for the account opening still contradict, right? Is it confirm to be RM50 now?

btw, the banker cheque or bank draft charges for mach is same with HLB? (rm5.15)

Yes. Still don't know which is the correct one, whether it is RM50 or RM200. May be you can finally find out tomorrow ? That's if you are still going to a Mach branch as planned tomorrow  biggrin.gif
Can't find this anywhere in Mach website. But since they are the same company, it is therefore safe to assume that it is the same (RM5.15). Perhaps you can ask too tomorrow ?

alright, I will drop by on mach tomorrow since mid valley is the shopping mall which i visit almost every Saturday tongue.gif

Yes you are right with RM50K deposit.

I still think the Junior FD is better as you get close to 4% for the next two years. Plus the interest from the FD credited monthly and get to earn close to 1 month interest rate.
I think it is another promo mention by @jasmine2001, the another 3.75% promo is for other FD but not the "Priority Banking", minimum deposit is rm10k
refer to this post. http://savemoney.my/hong-leong-bank-sweet-...30th-june-2013/

Hi all, just to share my experience on HL Mach 4% FD (which I shared 2 months back. I think I was the first to spot this and share here).  tongue.gif

I went on the launch date (7 Jan).
1. Min amount to open Mach Moneybox acct: RM50 cash deposit. (RM8 will be deducted from it the next day by the system.)
2. FD Placement option#1: Ask Mach staff to deposit banker's cheque and open FD. FD start on the same date.
3. FD Placement option#2: Deposit cheque into Moneybox acct via machine. Once cheque cleared, u can place FD via HL Connect. FD start on your transfer date (i.e. after cheque cleared. I din take this path. The info was told by Mach staff.)
4. FD interest auto-credit into Moneybox on monthly basis.
5. Min balance in Moneybox? Not sure. But I IBG my interest out and left RM2.xx in acct. See screenshot. Will do that every month after the interest.  laugh.gif
Time flies, already 2 months.  thumbup.gif 4%, you can really see your money working hard for you every month.

Thanks for the info rclxm9.gif
Seems like the minimum balance to keep can up to RM1.

So the current unclear things is the bank draft fee and account closure fee after 6 month of account opening.
By the way, what is the minimum amount for the free IBG? in FAQ they mention subject to minimum monthly average balance of RM1000.00. What does this mean? If not fulfil the condition, the IBG will be charged?

Yes. But if the minimum balance to keep is only RM1, then the account closure fee is not important anymore. Worse come to worse, just leave RM1 in the account, don't touch it for 1 year and it will auto close by the bank   biggrin.gif
tongue.gif Yeah, problem resolved

QUOTE(MilesAndMore @ Mar 9 2013, 12:42 PM)
By the way, i just noticed this under Sky High Savings. Does that mean it may be possible to withdraw every single cent even when the account is still active ?   hmm.gif

QUOTE(MilesAndMore @ Mar 9 2013, 01:15 PM)
No. According to their products T&C, you need to keep a minimum average monthly balance of RM1,000 to be eligible for the IBG fee rebate, which will be credited back to your account the following month.
this mach money box is pretty much useless, have too much restriction for the attractive feature sad.gif

QUOTE(bearbear @ Mar 9 2013, 01:21 PM)
i transferred more than 1k from Money box to CIMB mid February, the refund of IBG was on 1st March. My money box account nvr had more than RM100 other than that one day in the month.

In that case, your latest IBG might not have rebate already? hmm.gif

QUOTE(jasmine2001 @ Mar 9 2013, 04:31 PM)
YES, and we have to open a new "pay & save Account" for interest.

This promo also provided for conventional FD, don't really need to open any CASA with the bank. Interest can be credit on principle-sum and auto renew upon maturity (of coz the interest will back to its board rate)

QUOTE(HLB Sweet deal FD Promo T&C http://www.hlb.com.my/promo/pfs/dep_kitty1/tc_en.pdf)
11. For Hong Leong Fixed Deposit (Conventional), the FD interest shall be credited into the Customers' nominated CASA monthly or interest add-on to the principal sum upon maturity.
I wonder for FD account holder on HLB can apply for HL Connect? Although is not a CASA holder?

About the mach money box, so far all is in expected, will open this account together with FD next week.

1. Account Closure is NO CHARGE after 6 month
2. Account opening deposit minimum RM50
3. Minimum balance to maintain = RM1
4. Minimum balance to enjoy features (sky high saving & free IBG) = RM1000
5. No Bank draft facility on mach branch, but can request on any HLB branch, fee is same with normal HLB bankdraft charge (RM5.15)

btw, the consultant say money box is "current account" and she also dunno why they make it a current account without cheque.

Good to know. All this while I thought CIMB Bank inter branch withdrawal limit of RM50,000 was generous!
Yes. Gotta find that out as the nearest Mach branch to me is a lot more than just a few hundred of km away   sweat.gif

doh.gif I missed out the inter branch withdrawal limit

if the amount placed on mach is over the limit, will need multiple banker cheque which will cost a lot (RM5.15 per cheque) sad.gif

QUOTE(aeiou228 @ Mar 10 2013, 03:31 PM)
Fund in Money box account can only be transferred out via HL Connect or ATM cash withdrawal subject to the withdrawal limit. To withdraw from another non MACH HLB branch, you need to do online fund transfer from Money box account to a conventional CASA before withdrawing it at a non MACH branch.

Other info about MACH not mentioned in TnC:
1) Don't perform online MACH FD placement during non working days because the FD will only commence from the next working day. Keep the fund in your Sky High Money Box account to earn 1.8%pa first.
2) While placing MACH FD online, there will be no FD rate of your selected tenure displayed on the screen before your click the final confirm button.  Therefore, better make sure that the quota for the promotional FD rates is still available before placement.

Thanks for the additional info smile.gif

the withdrawal part will be a pain for me who don't have any conventional CASA with HLB. If amount over the inter branch limit, i will need to request multiple banker cheque on different day?

Yes, just open another HLB CASA and problem solved. Debit card annual fee charged once only.
just open a Casa and no more pain.

if i dont want to open another CASA on HLB. then the only way to withdraw is:

1. by the limit of the inter branch withdrawal with banker cheque (limit still unknown, charge rm5.15)
2. use the FREE 5 times IBG on money box (maximum 25K for 5k each IBG, take minimum 5 working days to transfer 25k, subject to maintain 1k on balance)
3. ATM cash (daily 5K and 1.5K each withdrawal, will be most troublesome and holding cash is not safe in current days)

since i will only place 15k for the mach FD, during maturity date, 3 times of IBG and 3 working days can be done to transfer out all my money back to my account. Total charges will be RM1 for the third transfer as it is below 1k already.

Is the IBG method safe enough to transfer money? quite worry if something happens and the transfer money gone rclxub.gif

Like i've mentioned, their RM1000 balance is very funny.

I withdrew RM3k from my FD deposit mid February, on the very same day i IBG transfer to other bank in form of 2k and 1k respectively. They charged me RM 1 x 2 transactions.

On 1/3/2013 - they refunded RM2 to my account.

My money box balance - less than RM100.
*
i see, dont know how they define the "average" balance of rm1000
maybe is the balance when you do IBG will need to be over rm1000?
so in this case, performing IBG when balance < 1000 will be charged
** my assumption only** biggrin.gif

Perhaps sometime in Feb, you have a one day overnight balance of RM30K or two days overnight balance of RM15k when you bank in your chq into Money Box account pending online FD placement ?
1 day overnight credit balance of RM30k is enough to meet the minimum Monthly Average Balance of RM1000 qualification requirement.

this make sense, so i will have average monthly balance of 1k by just let it overnight 2 days after withdrawal of my 15k during maturity date. rclxms.gif
