Hm, the first thing I ask her was whether the 3.7% promo for 1 year still got or not cause I did read here that you guys also said no more already.
She straight away replied still on. I'll be going this Friday again and see how it goes. If not, then will just put into OCBC. laugh.gif

but BR 12 months already 4.02 rite?Is there rumour that the interest will go down?rate are not attractive as early of the year.

i hope not. i expect bnm to raise rates by 10-25bps before yr end.

if not, the rm will burn faster vs usd.

emerging country currencies are being mauled by a rush back to usd incl indon, indian, s africa, brazil currencies.

Ocbc 3.7% for 13 months, joint account

yep, i wud do that if not becos ocbc branch too far from i am usually.



confirmed, uob can give 3.65% for 12m, just you ask the officer/teller to talk to manager. not sure if min 50k or 100k.

smaller amounts, they can give 3.60%.

no need any sav a/c or curr a/c, no tie up with anything, no frills...

Not all banks personnel are bad. I have nothing good to say about banks like Hong Leong, Maybank, OCBC, BR, HSBC, CIMB and the likes also. Its all upto individual performance.  notworthy.gif

yep, it's about the branch, officer, rm u deal with...

for the branches i deal with, i have few issues with cimb, hlb and uob. pbb is fine but the rates suck.

my experience, i stay far far away from mbb and ambank.

others, never tried...

If the money is from same bank (even from different account), mostly do not treat it as "fresh fund".

QUOTE(munkeyflo @ Jul 30 2013, 12:38 PM)
Same bank diff account - not consider fresh funds. Have to be from outside of the bank.
*
just to reconfirm...

if i deposit 20k originally into sav acc, then put 10k from there into 12m fd of same bank.
3mths later, i want to put the other 10k into fd as well - bank dun see that as fresh fund, won't accept?

You have to transfer the funds out then put it back into the bank again. Which is why you see some of us here discussing what's the best way (cheapest and fastest) way to take matured FD funds out and get it back in for FD promo as quickly as possible.

I think some other banks are exceptional and they might accept but generally, the banks that I dealt with so far, do not accept transfer of funds from same bank as "fresh funds".
*
likely it varies from bank to bank. maybe policy changes from promo to promo within same bank...?

just like the example i gave, i had no problems doing it with hlb and cimb.

uob, dunno as it was fresh-fresh.

just to share if u have not been reading. besides new gomen ruling on borrowing and fitch downgrade, there's a whole string of articles in the past few days and weeks on the the severity of the local debt situation, borrowers and bankruptcies. let's just hope all is still under control. however, do know the bank where u keep yr money.

I saw some of your comments way back and just did not wish to reply. However I am interested in other forumers experience with FD traditional banks or whats not.

since u asked, just to share... i do not put my money in non-pidm entities. i do not hv experience with them, but.... i just want no exposure to the non traditional, often labeled "shadow banks" that hv certain risk, a risk anyone can dispel or take seriously. no one can say that is right or wrong, just an individual's risk appetite at best or perception at worst.

see, 99% of the time, nothing happens, all is safe. but what if that 1% happens to you, what do u do?

like life, accident, medical, home burglary insurance, there is no value in buying n paying until n unless you know it happens to u. such is the nature of insurance.

all said, it's all about how u view the local economy, yr confidence on the banks incl bnm, yr trust on the politicans and the the real state of the economic health n the accompanying intrigue that surrounds us.

To each its own poison I would say. However while its good to share the merits each case has, its not very nice to often post as if its a high risk option. PIDM has been here for not so many years, so without it as before then will be keeping all the cash under the pillow. It has been overhype and the risk is very minimal. Another overhype myth is regarding the Kwsp fund imminent collapse. This has caused quite a number of contributors withdrawing and then what depositing in banks at a much reduced rates. Some forumers here even dare to increase their contribution. So who is right. Dont think too much of what we cannot control, such as the state of the economy, the stock market and the likes. Even in chaos, there will be opportunities.

Just to get rid of the myth regarding koperasi debacle, my better half including her family was refunded. Hope others old enough can share their experience.  rolleyes.gif

no disagreement with that.

i think no. posts that say shadow entities carries higher risk than pidem protected = same no. as those saying no such thing, no diff.

the impt thing is one shudn't not say the additional interest gotten is without any additional risk, that wudn't be correct.

Did anybody doing calculation which 1 month FD with their 1 year compounded interest + auto renewal higher than 12 months FD?
*
just take 3.20% pa. approx, you get paid 3.20%/12 or 0.2667% per month.
compound that over 12 months, u get 3.247% or say 3.25%.
that comes nowhere close to 3.5-3.7% offered by most banks for 12mths.
the difference is the premium u lose by keeping the flexibility on 1 month maturity.

A fresh graduate with a bachelors' degree will probably earn RM 3000 a month.
After paying income tax, they get around RM 2250.00 each month.

bro, if u got time, go read some of the threads in the prop section.

there seems to be supermen these days, i m not sure.

and pls dun say 3k a month as that may be seen as insulting as some claim 5k starting is common, 8k after 3 years, 15k at 30 is the norm.

i felt out of place, so i came here...
