I can confirm up to RM2 as that's the amount currently in my MoneyBox. I opened with Rm100 deposit because they gave free water bottle.

Lets say 3.8 interest rate. You invest Rm 10,000. Thats Rm 380 per annum, which equals to RM 30 per month. Ain't that a bit little  sweat.gif

RM380 guaranteed. What other investment method got such guarantee?

FD not for building equity.

All talk about 7 million = how much from FD, as far as I know most FD got cap amount above that they won't pay the rate jor (I think above 1 million then they will reduce your interest rate).

What if you want to transfer much more than that, like 100k or something? Banker's cheque doesn't depend on the amount right?

Let's say if he put all 7.58 million in BR FD to earn 4.6% per year for 5 years, he can earn RM 348680.00
interest per year for doing nothing..,  sweat.gif  and some more no need to pay tax..
I thought need to pay tax for interest on savings amount above 250k?

In my previous experience safest and easiest (if there's an ATM card) is just withdraw everything yourself. Bank will not know unless disclosed to them, and if amount is relatively small (not in millions) then withdrawing first saves a lot of time and hassle.

This is for savings/current not FD though. Currently FD is mainly online for me, so same principle, can just login to the online account to do it.

wanna ask, I'm new in this FD.
I heard that usually those that offer high interest rate one, the rate only will be counted on the last of the month. Means like I'm placing it for 1 year.
the 1st - 11 month, the rate is just the normal rate, then only on the 12th month it will be the high rate.

Is this real ?

Cause i intend to open an FD this month.

Suggest you read much more information on FD, not even sure how to begin to explain to you. Depends on specific promo. In general tiered/step FD are nonsense offer.

mind elaborate more? my CCs are earning more than my FD monthly  sweat.gif

FDs earn money on money you have saved (and can still use).

CCs 'earn' money on money you spent. If you didn't spend that money you'd have more.

Of course, there's always required spending, but anything above that, no matter your CC give you 50% cashback, you're still not 'earning' money, just spending a bit less.

CCs have 50% cashback? which ones? smile.gif makes no sense, they would just lose money on it, since they only charge 2% or 3% how can they give anyone 50% cashback?

Don't have la, max also 7% or so (AMEX on the Maybank2Kards). Just using example, even if 50% still doesn't mean you're earning money. So lagi at 1-7% you're not 'earning'.

Guys, need your help here about mach hl fd.

I put in 1k into fd promo@3.7% for 6 months. I realised that the fd interest credited into my account is different.

2nd month: 2.84

I use compound interest calculator and I just can't get these two figures. Anyone can help?
Thanks.

Guys, what is the best way to take out money from maybank to put FD in bank rakyat? Carrying cash would not be convenient right ..

Banker's cheque? Safest way IMO. Of course, if you're moving small amounts (a few thousand) then you may not want to pay the fee. Maybank's banker's cheque fee, if I'm not wrong, is highest among all.
