Yes, we are planning to gather a big fund from all participating members so that we
can negotiate better FD rates with the banks.
To answer to your questions:
(1) With a unique code for each member, each member will go to the bank to place FD by themselves.
There is no such thing we will pass our monies to one member to place FD for us.
Each participating will have a fully control of their monies, they can even cancel and not to participate our plan, and no questions will be asked.
(2) Participating members just need to use the unique codes to identify themselves to the bank so that they can get the special FD rate from the bank. So it is up to the participating members whether if they want to have a single name or joint name on their FD account. Participating members can use their existing FD account to place this special rate FD.
(3) We do not know yet. But we have short listed Bank Rakyat and Affin Bank.
Let me brief you our plan:
(1) Consolidate a big fund first
(2) Talk to the bank.
(3) If the bank says ok, then one of our participating members will generate and PM confidential unique codes to each participating member. Then submit these codes to the bank so the bank can
identify us.
(4) We will not reveal the special rate and unique codes in public to avoid unnecessary problem. We will PM special FD rate and unique codes to each participating member only.
(5) Participating members go to the local bank, submit their unique code to get special rate, then place FD just as usual.
(6) All participating members' privacy are 100% protected.
(7) We use unique code because we do not want to explore our identities.
We will improve our planning and procedures little by little..
Please let me know if I am not answering to your questions.
You further questions are very welcome..

How will the bank quote their rate? According to the lump sum of all participant or quote before we participate?
Please update me the rate if it's nice i might take some of my FD which will mature early April and place under this, do they do things like CASA or it's just a normal 12months FD?
