BCC thanks for sharing

Correct to calculate as below?

((3.38/1.1) + 3.58 + 3.78 + 3.88 + 5.38)/5 = 3.939%

Imo, regardless of the effective rate, it's not worth it. Judging from the simplest calculation,
Assuming capital 100k
If 100% fd @3.7= 3700
If 80% fd 20% casa @4.5= 3600
*
it state that you only need to maintain CASA for 90 days which make a whole lot of difference.

Anyway it does sound too good to be true.

Waiting for BCC to clarify, can't find more info on RHB site except the 15 months step up promo.

Haha. Dunno. Maybe we are missing something out here. Earlier you all calculated 4.5%+ and now it's like 2.5% laugh.gif

both also don't make sense, i already email a RHB banker for more info.

BCC thx fir sharing.

it work out to be
1. 3.735%
2. 3.675%
3. 3.745%
4. 3.333%

does not include interest gain in CASA amount and i remove the capital as soon as they are free to be released. (i.e. package 1 the 5% removed from capital after 3 months)

Still a weird promo. better go for step up promo just 3 months more only.

Ha ha, with the RHB promo, BR cannot claim to have the highest FD rate, the 3 month rate is higher than BR's 3.6%.  brows.gif  brows.gif

seems like RHB has improved their 15 months promo;

http://www.rhb.com.my/Whats_New/deposits/s...D/#.U7pHrZSSzyQ

((3.48/1.05) + 3.68 + 3.88 + 4.08 + 5.38))/5 = 4.067%

First FD promo to breach 4% mark but 5% have to maintain in CASA for 90 days biggrin.gif

For these kind of promo, for example, where we need to maintain 5% in CASA for 90 days, do we need to manually go to the branch after 90 days to arrange transfer from CASA to FD or it is automatically done?
*
I think cannot transfer from CASA to FD, the 5% can only withdraw?

Easiest account to maintain should be as below;

Thanks for calculating the effective rate !  nod.gif  notworthy.gif

Wow, RHB FD is even better than BR's 15 month's 3.95%. Some more with PIDM.  rclxms.gif BR cannot cliaim to have the highest FD rate.  shakehead.gif

I see, thanks. So for RM10000, only RM9500 will go to FD. The remaining RM500 cannot be added up to the same FD account after the 90 days period.
*
i think they don't split in 95:5 ratio;

so to deposit 9.5k into FD, you need 475 in saving account.

But ya, whatever in the CASA can't go back into your FD from what i understand.

The FD accountholder and the CASA accountholder must be of the same party or in the case of joint account,
the FD and CASA primary accountholder must be of the same party as well.

QUOTE(lowya @ Jul 8 2014, 09:04 AM)
so lets say if you withdraw RM10 from the RM475, the FD interest will be forfeited somehow?
*
Customer is required to hold new funds in RHB Current / Savings Account (CASA) as prescribed in
Clause 4. FD and CASA placement must be exercised on the same day. If the holding on the CASA
account is uplifted, customer will not be entitled to the Promotion Rates. RHB reserves the right at its
discretion to accord the FD Promotional Rate with our prevailing 3-month FD board rate respectively.


Question is; is this for the 3 months rate or total 15 month all follow board rate.

Also just realized you need to maintain CASA for 15 months as they deposit the interest every 3 months into CASA.

I will wait until the D day only decide, maybe rate go higher again tongue.gif
