I will be surprised if you get an answer on which branch. Ha ha.  tongue.gif

Likely to be branch related as diff branch hold the function in diff location and diff time.  biggrin.gif

Just received the invitation cards today.
This makan function is not the local branch function. It is organised by BR headquarter for all the branches of BR in Penang.

I heard there are a total of 7 branches and they invited more than 100 pax.

Find out from your local BR branch not to miss out.

Forever BR supporter..

ok at 3.96% if substantial amount??? Are you sure?
of course ok if you compare to lower rates elsewhere la.

But if you compare to the 4.7% BR itself is offering, you would have heart ache how much you have lost especially if amount substantial AND over a long period of time.

That is the advantage of going long term for the highest possible rate, hit it hard and long........

Br has silly fleeting policy on interest payment.

paid on same date as FD is the best, easy to track.

after that, changed to no matter which day Fd starts, interest all paid on same day ie 1st.causing lots of confusion when track the payment. now changed back again.

Next is requirement on names in saving account..Last time as long as SA got FD depositor's name, can autocredit. Now need exact same names in same order!If not have to do manual credit.

Finally realised my Jan 2014 interest is lesser than usual, by 0.05 to 0.10%.

Anyone with BR FD 12m or 24m placed in 2012 or 2013, check your interest for this month. Any cut?

FD rate cut by 0.05% recently, but old FD from 2012/13 also kena??

24m:
1.3.12- 1.3.14
8.3.12-8.3.14
19.3.12-19.3.14

6.4.12-6.4.14
9.4.12-9.4.14
10.4.12-10.4.14

Any of you guys with FDS in that same period of time as above and received no interest cut?

Received SMS from BR's ABM to collect their "beautiful hamper" as described by the ABM. Collected the hamper and asked for another one. Was able to get one more like last year. Claimed that I have 2 accounts with them. Ha ha.  rclxms.gif  icon_idea.gif

Have not opened it up yet. The ABM claimed that the value of the hamper is higher than last year.  biggrin.gif

Yeah they sent to my house at 4.00pm, apologised and said they thought I had received earlier! If i didn't SMS the manager, they would have thought i had received already, what a messy system in BR's hampers delivery...

I attached the pix here, are they the same like yours?

getting the 1st million is usually the most difficult, subsequent millions should come much easier, as
money makes more money and your earning power increases with time and experience.

i asked the local BR , they are not very keen in offering higher rates. That also before i mention this is from many different persons. 0.05% above board rate no problem.

How's the FD group nego coming along?

Anyway, I paid a visit to a supposed new BR branch. But instead was only an agent for BR, Koperasi Simpanan dan Kredit Bersatu.
They have their own deposit scheme (FD) & the interest rates do look Extremely attractive but they have so far only been in the market for 2 years. However, to fund the deposit scheme, they provide personal loans to government servants & practise the direct salary deduction via ANGKASA so should be pretty safe.

However, do take note that there is no monthly interest payout like BR.
Anyone had any experience or heard anything about them before?:

the rate offered is so high. I am worried if they are safe.
