Hi, for Hong Leong Mach FD 4.0%, one must open it at MACH branch only? Hong Leong branch unable to?
HL Mach FD only works for minimum placement of RM10,000 for 1 year right? After 1 year it will revert back to the current FD rate if you continue the FD tenure.

Alternatively, Hong Leong Bank also offers Islamic FD at 3.8% where the promotion ends earlier (today) than the stipulated date, due to overwhelming response. Conventional FD from HL also having a promotion of 3.75% until somewhere next month right?

(Seems like Hong Leong is more prosperous, either that or they are desperate for money.)
*
Yes HL MACH branch only as you need to open a fixed deposit account under MACH.

Do you really have to pay RM1 each time you withdraw money using your Mach VISA debit card from Hong Leong Bank ATM ? The Fee Disclosure table seems to suggest so  rclxub.gif

Have not done that but was told i can bank in to my MACH acc at any Hong Leong Bank

Is there any hidden fee for MACH acct, such as annual fee etc? I'll probably get one just for FD and no intention to use it btw.

Haha the catch is here, unless there's no annual fee, don't think I'll get one since I don't plan to use it.

I think I'll probably go for HLISB, HLISB no annual fee right?

8/10000 is only 0.08% and MACH you can withdraw in multiple of 3k without affecting the remaining balance in your FD.

Well your choice biggrin.gif

M2U and Pbebank serve me well, no intention to open so many accts and get charged annually, unless it's 100% no hidden fee whatsoever then I'll apply lol.

M2U and CIMB serve me well but they are not giving me 4% P.A. laugh.gif

I can open Mach and enjoy 4% rate, and when the FD matures I can simply close it to avoid being charged. But quite mafan to open and close just coz of this, prefer as simple as possible.  biggrin.gif

Most of the higher rate needs you to open / close or deal over the counter. smile.gif

If you already have an MACH FD account (Must get the personnel to help) then i don't see a problem.

Mine - i pass the banker's cheque to the staff - they help me to create my MACH FD account (Not Money Box Acc.) and direct deposit into my account. Happen around 1pm

By 4pm i can see the amount in my account online.

Let's say if I open my Mach FD account tomorrow, and Mach FD promo ends on April, I still can add fund to my
existing Mach FD account after April?  Up to RM 250K?
*
Yes you can - the only difference is after April the rate will be lower unless they extend it again or new promo.

Just treat it like another bank account that allow you to place your FD online and get promo rate.

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.

Hi guys

last month i've moved out some money from MACH to CIMB - they charged me RM1 for two transactions (Both more than 1k) but was later refunded. I didn't launch any complaint but i did read that the free IBG is in the form of refund - meaning they charge you and refund later. My account balance (Money Box) was less than RM100.

Yesterday i transferred the interest (less than 1k) to CIMB - again they charge me for it. Will monitor if there is a refund later and report.

From my reading and understanding - they meant they will charge RM1/transaction if you transfer less than 1k per month?

Yes.
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.

[attachmentid=3338029]

then it is subject to how to calculate average monthly balance.

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.

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
*
That's what i thought as well based on my transfers. the balance is referring to the IBG amount.
