Yup, the 1st incident was reported to the HQ and the branch manager contacted me to follow up. Will be doing the same thing for this 2nd incident.

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 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.

Oh okay. So since the min placement is RM10000 to FD alone, i will need to bring another RM500 for the CASA. Man, I hate this CASA thingy biggrin.gif

Previous CASA FD promo is not so attractive but now it breaks the 4% barrier drool.gif If there is not much change of FD rate after OPR meeting, i will move some FD from BR to RHB dy. The new RHB branch at my place is opposite a shopping mall and has ample parking space biggrin.gif

parking is the least concern as you only visit them every 13mths for renewal or withdrawal.

Haha parking is important for me as there are several FD to take care every month..most in small amount sweat.gif

For my area, BR is the worst as to park/walk very far under hot sun...but its rate is the highest laugh.gif

Read from the other thread that MBSB, CIMB n RHB may merged. I wonder whether the RHB promo (and CC benefits) will be affected too.

Some banks have also announced the revision of their deposit rates, but the quantum varies from one lender to another as well as the deposit tenure.

Among others, Maybank’s deposit rates will be revised upwards by up to 15 bps.

HLBB and Hong Leong Islamic Bank Bhd (HLISB) will increase their fixed-deposit and Term Deposit-I rates by up to 25 bps.

Following the revision, HLBB and HLISB’s new deposit rates for one, six and 12 months would be 3.05%, 3.2% and 3.3%, respectively.

Meanwhile, OCBC Bank (M) Bhd and OCBC Al-Amin Bank Bhd will be increasing their fixed-deposit and General Investment Account-i rates respectively by up to 20 bps, depending on tenures effective July 21.

On CIMB eFD deposit slip, it states:

Upliftment of eFD can only be done a day after maturity date to fascilitate interest calculation and crediting. Interest will not be calculated for upliftment before the eFD maturity date.

The maturity date is today 21-July-2014 and the interest has already been credited to the saving account. If i uplift now, will I lose the interest that has been credited?

before they revamp their site, i am always forced to wait until the next business day upon maturity.

After the revamp i uplift on the maturity day itself, i always choose interest credited into principal so far no issue with it.

okay thanks

nice to see that the rate has been changed to 3.25 for 1 month eFD biggrin.gif
