Sorry if this is out of topic or wrong thread.
Would like to know which CASA offers the highest interest?
So far CIMB's MoneyMultiplier is 2.5%, MBB's Saver-i is 2.1-2.3%, any other banks' products offering better than these?

Yes I have children. Will look into these and thanks. For HLB 2.8 to 2.9 is as good as 1 month fd.

A little birdy told me that people high up is discouraging banks from offerring higher interest rates... therefore I guess from now on we shall see less FD promos offering more than 3.6% for 12 months tenure.

so my paranoid and wild imagination kicks in ....... conspiracy in the making to make people like us go deposit with BR and MBSB (which are both kind of related to the government)  sweat.gif  laugh.gif   

But here is the good news, HLB still can nego for higher rate for 12 months straight forward FD as of this week.
That is if you deposit/sign up for the promo on the last day of the month and withdraw in full the SS portion on the 1st day of the month (by the way, better check T&C every time you sign up if SS portion to be earmarked 3 months or 90 days, extremely important if your deposit involves the month of February).
*
Lets say I put in rm51000 into OCBC combo promo on 4/10/2013.
If on 4/1/14 I withdraw everything my effective returns will be 3.735% as compare with the best scenerio of 3.767%(a diff of rm4), which I think is still better than anything in the market, what more I already have the smartsaver account and Fd accounts in OCBC, so processing should be fast.
This promo if compares with BR's 3.6% would return me an additional of rm18, not much actually, just enough for 3 meals.
Bu then BR comes with gifts that's if they are still generous.With the curb on Personal Loan, I think BR might need less funds thus lower FD rates.
But if I were to leave the amount at SCB diff will be rm100.

Aih bad luck day  sad.gif

Went to Ambank for the 3.55% but found out need to open saving account with min deposit RM300. So had to drive to UOB for the 3.60% 12 months.

The worse part is, kena parking compound RM100..discounted rate RM50  cry.gif  cry.gif  cry.gif  cry.gif  cry.gif

At least got discount, I got a police's parking compound at a ulu place's (white line roadside) during Malaysia day, no discount non-negotiable, rm150, who says the police not hardworking. Can only console myself that the banks are paying for me, thru CC rebates.

Goldman Sachs Asset Management LP boosted holdings of Malaysia’s ringgit and the Philippine peso in recent weeks, betting the prospect of interest-rate increases will spur appreciation.

The ringgit will strengthen five per cent against the dollar by year-end and an 8.1 per cent gain is likely for the peso, based on estimates given by Philip Moffitt, head of Asia-Pacific fixed income at Goldman Sachs Asset, which oversees US$860 billion. Benchmark rates in Malaysia and the Philippines will increase at least 25 basis points by the end of 2014, according to the majority of economists in Bloomberg surveys.

"We expect interest rates to rise over the next year in Malaysia and the Philippines, and that’s less likely in some other Southeast Asian economies such as Thailand," Sydney-based Moffitt said in an October 8 phone interview. "We’ll see a bounce in the two currencies."

If you have a child, two-month temporary funds of <rm50000 and need to withdraw funds when required(allowed once a month) then this account would give a Max returns of 3%+1.1%. Better than FD as returns are paid in full counted daily.

I cannot only manage to find this 1 and it seem no so good as per claimed.

Additional Divided of 1.1% per annum on incremental of the Average Daily Balance between RM1000 and RM2 million.

Meaning Average Daily Balance below RM1000 and above RM2 million are no entitled for additional Divided of 1.1% per annum.

http://www.maybank2u.com.my/WebBank/loyRew...ContextualClick

There are few conditions.

Additional dividend will no paid for account below than RM500 (minor/trust) and RM3,000 (individual/joint).

pls read all t&c before consider to take it

I was referring to the minor/trust account not the individual/joint account which has more conditions.
