Bank Rakyat is offering the best rate in town.
However cannot link to Internet Banking so
very difficult to personally go-to-and-fro.

FD is for capital preservation with higher return than Saving A/C
Once its done, focus your time on other ways to grow your wealth.

What do you mean by:

I was at BR, I asked can place FD from BR's internet banking.
The staff said no. Must be there in person.

Some more must open bank account, pay RM8 per year.
Earn from FD, pay back to bank, some more so troublesome.

... I personally think there is no issue asking for assistance from any banks if encounter with problem these days. I have never encounter and banks refuse to help me -- except giving me misguided information due to their standard of expertise which frustrated me at times ...

I know how you feel.
Lucky there is one bank manager who is understanding with me.
You have to build rapport with bank staff preferable at branch.

However, in the end, bank = big. U = small fry. Consumer assoc = useless
So don't expect much from banks.

When I opened the 3 mths FD @ 3.6%, I asked to be paid at the end of the 3rd mth; hence no need to open the SA.  smile.gif

Thanks for sharing.

I took some big time money out of the BR to place elsewhere. Because I don't think the bank is in good hands anymore..Since the Deepak fellow can get free interest loan on RM32millions.... Maybe not safe anymore, last time they were giving more Interest rates... now only 3.90%PA for 12mths.

Whereby the AMBank can give very close... I got some at Hong Leong at 3.76%. Even got some at StanChart at 3.5% for 6months... OCBC also can get 3.78%. BR is bleeding now.... They cannto attract any more depositors ,since their rate is no longer good and its not Insured like other Banks...

How did you get those rates?
Were they on promo or you nego with bank officer or you put in 100k for 13mths?

Ya, agreed with you, I also hate to juggle with many bank accounts. Have been trying NOT to open new accounts when some banks are having FD promotions. Now I am using Excel to track my bank accounts and FD maturity dates.  cry.gif
