Request CIMB to prepare a Banker's Cheque in your name to deposit into FD account. Some banks are charging RM2.15 or RM5.15, not sure about CIMB.

I just want to share here that Public Bank seems to have waived the Banker's Cheque fee for FD withdrawal. I was there today to withdraw my FD and as usual I requested for Banker's Cheque, surprisingly they only charged 15 sen for the stamp duty unlike previously where I was charged RM2.15 for a cheque.

Would like to ask whether Hong Leong Sweet Deal FD 3.75% able to open up via Hong Leong online banking? I don't have Hong Leong account at the moment, so is it worth it to open up a saving, and then to create the FD via online banking? Or does the Sweet Deal only works for paper application, that means must do at bank and get certs.
*
You have to go to Hong Leong Bank to open a conventional FD account to make a placement over the counter, whereby a FD certificate will be issued to you. If you do not have a savings/current account with them, the interest will be added to the principle sum upon maturity.

P/s
If you are only interested in e-FD then you might want to go for Mach FD Promotion, but somehow you still need to go to Mach Branch (limited branches) once to open the Money Box Savings Account before going online to make FD placement. Check it out here: https://www.machbyhongleongbank.com/promo/mach-fixed-deposit

So, the conventional FD, Sweet Deal 3.75 promo, only available via certs, be it you have a savings/current account with them or not.

Meaning, existing HLB savings/current account users with e-banking, can't make placement for this special promo FD? They must also go to over-counter?
Okay thanks, this I've known but no near branch at my area yet.
*
Correct, it is an over-the-counter FD placement. If you have any existing savings/current account with them, the FD interest will be credited into your nominated account monthly, otherwise it will be added-on to the principle sum upon maturity.
For more info, refer to their Tn'C here: http://www.hlb.com.my/promo/pfs/dep_kitty1/tc_en.pdf

15c stamp duty is what they charged me in PJ for a check amount that includes principal and interest. I am not sure if they will charge you RM2.15 if you take your principal in check and interest in cash. Can anyone confirm this?
*
Confirmed. If you take any amount in cash from the principal plus interest lump sum, UOB will charge you RM2.15.
I wanted to do that last week but was told that I had to pay RM2.15 for the check instead, but I rather paid just 15 sen for the check. biggrin.gif

My current Bonus Savers is ending in May 2013... can I put back the funds into another round of Bonus Savers for June 2013 ?
*
One can have multiple placements for Bonus Savers so long as the promotion is still on, but need to move fund out and return to make new placement because of the so-called fresh funds requirement. biggrin.gif

Precisely.

But as discussed earlier,it is inconvenience for multiple placements (different dates) of Bonus Savers if you have
only one Smart Savers account, because all funds will "stuck" into one Smart Savers for 2.9% interest (require
to deposit minimum RM 1000 into Smart Savers during the second and third month to eligible for 2.95%) until
over the end of 3rd month.
*
I actually made 2 placements within the same month (08 March & 18 March) with only one SmartSavers account, so the only viable way is to make withdrawal on July 01 to be eligible for 2.90%. In this case, I need to prepare to deposit an additional RM1000 on June 01. I might withdraw the FD(s) on maturity separately or deposit into SS account and withdraw altogether on July 01

2 options:

Hassle to manage FDs on different FD placement dates:
If you withdraw your FD separately from Smart Savers on different date, this mean you will split your funds into 2 portions on
different date; then you will need more time, energy, effort, and money (petrol) to take care of 2 portions of funds (FDs).

or

Get a bit low interest rate at 2.9% for less than 1 month period
If you move your 2 funds from matured FDs into Smart Savers and withdraw all funds in 1st July, this means you 2 FDs will
get 2.9% interest for 22 days and 12 days respectively. And all your money will park in OCBC for almost 4 months.

In overall for these almost 4 months period, you will get lower than 3.96% interest

Now just realize that OCBC is too smart to offer Bonus Savers....  biggrin.gif
*
Hassle, yes absolutely. This is the outcome of moving the funds around to different banks at different dates earlier... taken a wrong move. I guess this is the only time for me to consolidate the 2 FDs by depositing into SmartSavers account and settle for less interest, hence a win win situation for OCBC. Precisely, one really has to be witty enough to outsmart these financiers and so in this instance I have failed miserably. cry.gif

Anyone else with recent experience for UOB on the fee?  biggrin.gif

Just to confirm, if my FD matures on 28th June, I can uplift it on 28th June itself without any penalty, correct?
*
I had made 3 withdrawals quite recently in PJ Branch, UOB only charged 0.15 sen for the stamp duty on condition that the amount is not split. Principal + interest earned in one lump sum and has to be in the same name.

Just back from my FD trip!

UOB insisted to have fresh fund for the promo. The most, they can only accept 50% of the fund. So I inquired on the banker's cheque fee. The staff said it is RM2.15. So I told her about the RM0.15 and its condition. Even the manager is not aware it. RM2.15 has always been their practice. Nevertheless, she said she will give me RM0.15 for this time, haha, but being a pain, I said I will be insisting for the RM0.15 in future too so she better check with the HQ next time. I paid RM0.15 only for 4 cheques  laugh.gif

Then went to OCBC for 3.70% 12 months. Dealing with the officer was pleasant but got slightly mad with the staff that is issuing the cert. He kept entertaining other customers who came later and put my documents aside. After 20 mins of waiting and observing, I said I would like to speak to the manager, then only settle  doh.gif
*
This is strange because the DU UOB Branch had always been charging me only RM0.15 stamp duty for a cheque whenever I withdrew my matured FD without any insistence whatsoever.

If you auto-renew after the 3-month Mega Save Promo Fixed Deposit interest rate of 4.5% p.a., it will revert back to board rate for 3-month Fixed Deposit which is 2.85% p.a.

I believe many of you guys here made FD placements with Hong Leong Bank recently, may I ask whether you guys do receive quarterly statements from HL for your conventional FD placements. In my case, I placed a 12-month Sweet Deal Conventional FD in March 2013 and because I do not have any CASA account with HL the payment of interest will add on, thus far I have not heard from them at all.
