I must have been looking forward to the OPR change. Have not considered RHB's FD promo.

Looking at the attachment sent by BCC, the top right hand shows "For Internal Use Only" ? BCC able to get it for our consumption. notworthy.gif

RHB is playing with numbers trying to lure people at diff FD rates. sad.gif

I will ignore all RHB FD promos since they are all 1 year FDs.

About "For Internal Use Only", I just went to the counter and asked for a copy only..

Ya, I hate this type of tying up cash in CASA.

Thanks for sharing RHB's FD promo.

I saw Affin Bank promo yesterday in newspaper with prizes for Merc for saving, FD accounts.

Below site not fully launched by Affin:

So if Affin FD rate goes up together with OPR change, this may be a good one to go in.

I saw these 2 from another forum:

Their FD rate is now 3.73% for 1 year by end of June. I think no need CASA. I received calls from UOB last week on the 3.73%.

For the right one, it is for CASA account. Gift with requirement to hold CASA of various amounts for certain months. I was in UOB last week and this week to withdraw FD. Saw their brochure. smile.gif

The one shown by BCC is for 3 months. The 3.73% 1 year FD is the latest that they are offering by end of June. smile.gif

OPR raised and no more promotion. Is it possible?

FD promotion will always be there depending on that particular banks need for cash. With OPR change whether it will move up by how much or same amount, hard to say. My opinion. smile.gif


QUOTE(lowya @ Jun 27 2014, 09:11 AM)
got 3.9% out there from the first page, anything higher than inflation rate?

You mean Bank Rakyat (BR) 1 yr rate 3.9% ?

I have a questions worth pondering, instead of focus on interest rate too much, the following questions could be a good decision making for FD...

Question 1: which bank would you invest FD in if hypothetical they all offer same competitive rates?

Question 2: why would you choose this bank?
*
Ya, each person will have their own reasons, even if one bank offers higher rate than the other. Not to mention the same rates.

One more could be courteous staff, sui girl .................... tongue.gif

I taught it is 250K per entity per bank.

As far as I knew, split to many account, won't entitle for the more coverage, aka you open 4 account with Bank A, you only entitled for 250k total.

You want 500K coverage then need to open account with Bank B.

Another way I think is to split into Conventional and Islamic deposit accounts  hmm.gif

the website said it's separate deposit insurance protection for that  nod.gif
*
Joint account with diff acct holders are counted as a separate account in the same bank. Meaning if I have CASA and FD accounts, that count as RM250k protection. But if in the same bank, I have another joint account with another person, then I have another RM250k protection.

Is my above interpretation correct ?

Per below from PIDM website:
Joint accounts - Joint accounts enjoy separate deposit insurance protection provided the records of the member bank disclose the names of the joint account holders

If I am not wrong, yes.

A has current account or 10x many accounts in bank Z-- 250K total.
A/B has joint account or many accounts in bank Z - 250K total for A/B.

As if we look from the perspective of entity, account A is not the same entity with account A/B joint account.
*
Thanks, that is clear. Per entity protection is limited to RM250k in one bank.

h, expected how much change ? Probably just 0.25%, right ? I guess if correct, not much adjustment to BLR and thus also not much impact on the property market.

Expected adj 0.25% to 0.5%. Speculating July to Sept for the change. Anyway, that is what is being reported in newspaper. biggrin.gif

Actually, I'm also not sure. I think it'll go back into my Mach account. I did create a Mach account, came with ATM card. Then I transfer money into that Mach account to place FD last time. Interest is now credited into that account monthly and I think principal will masuk that account also when due.

Either I go ATM to withdraw, which I doubt I can. Or do online transfer, which also has limit. Or go to Mach outlet when the time comes kua. August got 2 Mach FD due, have to figure it out before then haha. Any others got experience with Mach?
*
I remember seeing others saying about getting banker's cheque from HL Bank once Mach FD matured. Online xfer has the limitation as you mentioned. Anyway maybe those who have experience on this can confirm. smile.gif

Mach only has 1 branch in Penang island. I missed out on their promotion and waiting for the right time to open acct there. But they are in Paragon which has lousy parking there ! mad.gif

Ooh. If can get banker's cheque from HL counter then it'll be much easier.

Mach quite convenient from my place, recently found out they open another one in Klang also. laugh.gif
Just open account with them enough edi lor. Everything else place online ma.

Ya, I like to do things online. But if to get bankers cheque from HL Bank, after FD maturity in Mach, without having to go to Mach, then should be OK. Just one trip to HL Bank (instead of Mach & HL Bank). smile.gif
