Newbie here. Hope to get clarification from the statement above. Does that mean the fresh funds cannot be from existing MBB saving a/c?

Finally a nice FD promo from Ambank. No Step-up and no CASA. QUOTE “AmSignature Priority Banking Customer” means an individual who shall maintain at all times the minimum balance in an active account in respect of each of the following category: a) a minimum aggregated total deposit of RM200,000.00 maintained under the account or joint account where the accountholder is the primary accountholder in any one/more of deposit account(s) with the Bank, OR b) a minimum aggregated total investment/deposit of RM200,000.00 shall be deposited in any investment and deposit account of the Bank or made with the Bank under the account or a joint account where accountholder is the primary accountholder. Meaning if a person has a current FD of total RM200,000 in multiples slips (more than 10), he can apply for AmSignature Priority Banking Customer and get the extra 0.10%, correct? If during the 15 month period, he withdraw the sum to below RM200,000, the bank will revised the rate back to 3.75%? Also, if a person deposit RM100,000 (the min amount), can he request for multiple certs and still enjoy the rate? This post has been edited by Human Nature: Jun 2 2014, 08:44 PM

Not too sure about the FD rate but there will be charges imposed: Fees and Charges Half yearly service fee of RM100 will be charged if the account minimum monthly average balance (deposits and/or investments) fall below RM200,000.

Thank you for spotting this. 3.75% is still okay i guess. With OCBC and Ambank offering promo with longer period (15 months tenure) to lock down the fund, I wonder whether the 'anticipated' hike in FD rate is substantial

Is it worth it to put short term FD (with lower FD rate) while waiting for the OPR change ? Do have some FD maturing in June. Hard call about putting in BR 3 months for 3.6% vs AmBank 15 months 3.75%. Maybe will still put short terms first. This post has been edited by bbgoat: Jun 3 2014, 08:47 AM

Fresh funds means funds from any other bank/sources other than that own bank. You will have to take out the funds from your MBB account and put it into another bank then take it out again to put in FD as fresh funds.

You may want to use other methods like family member who has CA account in the bank to issue cheque to you (I did that before), IBG, even cash depending on the amount etc. Read below website (from our Captain) to get more info on FD: http://generationsxyz.blogspot.com/p/fixed-deposit.html
