Hi TS, i may need your expertise.

This one looks confusing, what is the actual rate for 12 month deposit?
*
I teach u how to calculate Average so that next time you can calculate yourself.

Total up all the 12 months rates then divide the total sum by 12. You will get the 12 months average rate.

It's 4.33% PA, is this consider high? Or is there any other FD that higher than this one?
*
4.33% pa? That's the highest 12 months FD rate in Malaysia. You sure your calculation is correct ?

Bro, you teach him half-way only. You forgot to tell him to read the Terms and Conditions too.

That's the problem. The link given was also half-way, can see only 11 months interest rate and no CASA thingy.
Luckily I never teach divide by 11 months tongue.gif

aeiou228 taiko, the biggest number shows the 12th month there. smile.gif

Question to all gurus here:
I've 50k cash in hand, but will be withdrawn after 12 months. Do you guys have any investments that gain more than our annual EPF rate (Excluding stock market, property, forex)?
*
Nope, not there. U can click the link n see it for yourself.
If you r still single, forget about epf. Epf is like one way street till age 55.
You need more cash for your housing, children education etc before 55 years old.

guys...

3.2% one month tenure vs 3.6% 12 months tenure ...which wan better if take into account compounding interest? cheers
*
3.6% is better. Teach you a simple way to distinguish the difference just by one glance, no need to count month after month.
The difference between the two is 0.4% p.a.
Ask yourself can 3.2% compound interest out of 3.2% FD interest equals or more than 0.4%?
3.2 x 3.2% = 0.10%
Therefore 0.10<0.40
It is not a precise answer as I excluded some negligible variables but it is still 99% correct.

Previously, I copied and shared in the above which was posted by cybpsych at Maybankard 2 Cards Thread as I thought the info would be beneficial to those of us having OD facility. I.e. Withdrawing Bank A FD and then perform IBG transfer to Bank B and then write a cheque at the same time to Bank A to be eligible for FD Promo with Fresh Fund.

And with the short discussion between a few of us, one of us mentioned about performing IBG over the counter. And guess what, I wasted RM2 to try out IBG transfer and I am happy to report that the transfer was credited into the receiving account on the same day smile.gif

Well, I just published another article with the title A Little Bit Of This and A Little Bit Of That. Actually this is the 4th article with the same title. As usual, I will be covering numerous subjects in my series of articles with the same title A Little Bit Of This and A Little Bit Of That. In this new article, you will learn some new stuff or maybe nothing at all.

So, for those of you who have time to waste and more importantly a kiasu like me, please click the link below to read my article and learn more about what I have to say about IBG Same Day Fund Transfer (plus other stuff that may not interest you).

A Little Bit Of this and A Little Bit Of That - Vol.1, Chapter IV.
*
There is another method I wish to share is than how one can still manipulate the fresh fund from the same bank A even in the afternoon ie after 12.30pm IGB giro same day clearance cut-off time.
If one can only go to the bank in the afternoon, the over the counter IBG giro trick no longer work. Therefore instead of IBG giro, withdraw the FD by Banker's Chq, write a chq from Bank B OD account to Bank A to be eligible for FD Promo with Fresh Fund. Then bank in the Banker's Chq bank to OD account at any Bank B's CDM before 4pm for same day processing.

The pro for this method are:
More flexible and convenient time allowance up to 4pm. (Avoid morning road traffic and banking rush hour)
Banker's Chq withdrawal from FD account is usually FREE. At least for OCBC, HLB, CTB....
No OD interest incurred.

The cons is, need to walk to Bank B to deposit the Banker's Chq before 4pm.

The fact is you can't conveniently withdraw EPF money as and when you like.

I found an easier way to comprehend this is that if my fund stay through the night then I get the interest for that daylaugh.gif That is how I compute those daily interest or ADB (Average Daily Balance) type of schemes, and verify to what the banks have given me. So far my calculation matches to the actual interest I get from the banks.  nod.gif

Your method of interest calculation is absolutely right.
That's what Interbank Bank Overnight Rate calculate too.

For easy understanding, today bank in > overnight > tomorrow withdraw, that's is one day interest. Only count the overnight day and omit the day of withdrawal.

Can I combine the money withdrawn from two CIMB saving account (me and my sister) into a single Banker's Cheque?
*
The direct answer to your question is, can not. Because of different withdrawal voucher, different signatory.
The indirect answer is yes you can do it as what suggested by bbgoat. Or just cash contra then withdraw by chq from one account.

Just came back from my musical chair journey today.

Unable to do IBG for the above issue due to amount limit and no cheque facility. However, I asked whether is it possible to combine into a single banker's cheque and the counter said yes  biggrin.gif Luckily coz the banker's cheque fee is RM5.15! So made a saving there  laugh.gif

After that went to UOB to uplift a matured FD. No issue. Made an inquiry whether is it possible to top up RM10000 and consider it as fresh fund. Not possible. However, was told that there is a retention rate of 3.30% for 12 months. Banker's cheque fee is RM2.15.

After that proceed to OCBC to make placement for the 18 months option. Spent more than 1 hour because the counter service is practically inefficient. They already completed my slip but didnt call up my name so I had to keep waiting. Then turned out there is a mistake and had to get it corrected.

Anyway, for that 18 months option, it is printed on the slip as:

#545 DAYS, *180/365=3.60%PA/4.00%PA

Can someone confirm whether its the same for theirs? Can check OCBC online banking too?

I am abit concern because when I check OCBC online, it shows (see image):

6540 months tenor and 3.6% rate?
*
I was wondering how a two diff savings accounts holders can joint issue a single bankers chq without the cash contra. Can you elaborate in details on how it was done?

My sister was present with me at the counter. We just fill up one banker's cheque form under her name and let the counter staff to handle everything. I just signed the withdrawal slip and no other document. I think they consider it as though both parties withdraw the money in cash and add together.
*
Ah...! That's clears things up abit. It was a cash contra method as suggested earlier ?
You signed cash withdrawal > contra the cash to your sister's account > then your sister signed banker's chq form to withdraw by chq.

No need to peek. If your sister sign the chq withdrawal form alone and the she is the only account holder, it was a cash contra alright.

I have 6 certs are affected, all are 5 years FDs.

I have not received any dividend after 1st May, except the 1 year FD that needs to be credited manually;
so BR owes me 6 FD dividend since after 1st May.

I do not think I will receive any dividend during this month..

And I do not know when will BR pay the next dividend after 1st May..?
I guess either 1st of June or FD maturity date in June..?

It seems only two of us are affected in this forum?  hmm.gif
*
Ask all BR depositors here, if all of them didn't receive the div as per scheduled time, it can be a serious indication.
Defaulting a scheduled div payment can be due to technical glitch but it can be also due to tight cash flow.
A healthy banking system shouldn't have this kind of alarming indication.

Oh..but I have not heard any other forum members are complaining about this matter..? except two of us..

I asked Top Cat, he said he was not affected..
The Guy also did not say anything...
tbheng did not complain...
magika keeps quiet, so I assume he is not affected..
Warrior HJebat also did not say anything...
gchowyh also did not complain...
Top Flo keeps quiet too...

Who else..?  hmm.gif
I do not think it is due to tight cash flow la...  biggrin.gif  so scary meh..?
Because I received 15 days (16th to 30th of May, my 4 FD maturity date is 16th) advanced dividend on 1st May..,
but no dividend from BR since after 1st May...

I think it is BR technical glitch... hmm.gif
*
Sorry for pressing the panic button. I hope it was just a technical glitch. Just want to remind you guys to be on full alert as early as possible when such indication first surfaced.
Hard earned money wor...don't play play. sweat.gif sweat.gif
Usually, defaulting a promised income/div payment is never a good indication especially for those MLM companies, ponzi scheme, gold investment, grower scheme. Of course we can't compare those companies with BR.
Last year BR's total deposit taking was about RM67 billion, FD interest payment must be quite substantial.

Guy, comparing these 2 FD promos, basically which one would you go for?

UOB
13 months @ 3.65% (100% interest will be credited after 6 month).

HLB STEP UP FD
1-4th mth - 3.3%
5-8th - 3.6%
9-12th - 4%
effective 3.63%
*
In this case, go for the bank nearest or known to you.

Btw, does can anyone can confirm about my calculations about this?
http://www.affinbank.com.my/General/Rates/...rest-Rates.aspx
Saving 20k, rate 2.8%
=  560 per year
Correct?
*
You need to confirm with Affin whether the interest calculation is based on tiered rate or not. If based on tiered, the average interest is ~1.65% for RM20K.
