RHB hasn't revised as well. Is it due to the merger talks?

Won't that be bad for CIMB/RHB's capital (those Tier stuffs)? Those having accounts with multiple banks (e.g. RHB and MBB) are going to shift their cash to banks with higher FD rates.

I remember reading here that some forumers think/expect the MBSB FD will automatically become PIDM protected once MBSB merged with CIMB.
My thinking is... it may not necessarily be the case.
A financial institution whom is a member of PIDM does not mean all their products are PIDM protected.
They can likely left MBSB FD stay as-is, i.e. non-PIDM protected post-merger.
I have seen (based on my experience) banks that have non-PIDM protected products though they are a member of PIDM. For example this MBB investment acct is not PIDM protected.
Just my 2 cents.  icon_rolleyes.gif

Gold investment account doesn't fall under the scope of PIDM, which only covers certain type of deposits.

I think what you meant is the the PIDM protection might not apply retrospectively on deposits placed before the merger?
