Have a question about BR. If BR credits the interest every month to your account, what is the penalty if we do an early FD upliftment?

I mean the rate offered are equally high (above average) as compared to other banks.

It can even goes up to 3.75% upon 5 years deposit.

5 years is a long time, my friend.

Ambank is offering the same 3.75% for 15 months deposit and is guaranteed bu pidm. I will move my funds there where my existing fd expires. BR is offering 3.95% for 15 months, so the difference is rm250 for 100k placement. i think i will treat this opportunity loss of rm250 as an insurance for my fd. Any thoughts?

3.75% for 5 years is not attractive as it seems.  shakehead.gif
Good to spread out FD to minimize risk. For me I have FD across BR, Citibank, MBB etc etc.  nod.gif

I just hate to have so many bank accounts, so difficult to keep track. I have been keeping my funds with hsbc for years but they are giving shitty rates. BR gives the best rate but i just don't feel good about them right now bcos of the 32m saga. I would not park my funds to any bank that is easily influenced by a cabinet minister.

I have a FD account with AMbank but with interest rates 3.15%.

Can i add additional cash into existing FD account or open a new one with 3.75% rates?
*
You need to bring in fresh fund of min 100k to take advantage of this promo rate of 3.75%.

BR require minimum placement of 5k only right with 15 months of 3.95%?

The other possible option is PB which need minimum 30k for 8.88%!

Guess 100k is a way too impossible for me to have this fresh fund as a fresh grads. blush.gif

Dont be conned by the 8.88%. It's a step up rate and i believe the effective rate would be much less than 3.75%

I am referring to https://www.pbebank.com/Personal-Banking/Pr...r-FD-Rates.aspx

But the step by FD din specify min amount of placement. hmm.gif

It's a way to complicate matters by the bank. i did a brief calculation, i dunno the prevailing SA rate, but even if the 20% SA gives 1% interest pa, the effective rate is less than 3.7%

Less than 1%, hardly anything lol. OCBC Smartsavers better.

Haha! So i think the effective rate would be less than 3.5% actually. Perhaps many people dont understand this and would be attracted by the 8.88%....

BANK RAKYAT - NOT Eligible for PIDM

If you are willing to go deposit with a non PIDM member, then check out Bank Rakyat Deposit Account -i which is based on Islamic Principles and like all Islamic banks' products, the profit rate cannot be guaranteed.
===

hi , can i ask ..what is the meaning of profit rate cannot be guarantee?

let say if i place 100k into their 1 year FD ..does it mean i am entitled to cash out the interest rate monthly?

what happen if i decided to cancel my FD after 8 months? is that any penalty?
*
Logic will tell you there will be penalty for early upliftment. Otherwise all people will place their FD for 60 months or above to enjoy the highest possible of interest rate! To what extent of the penalty i do not know maybe the regulars who have FD in bank rakyat can enlighten us. notworthy.gif

I have a questions worth pondering, instead of focus on interest rate too much, the following questions could be a good decision making for FD...

Question 1: which bank would you invest FD in if hypothetical they all offer same competitive rates?

Question 2: why would you choose this bank?

I choose the bank with cute girls only. wub.gif

Just terminate 1 CIMB eFD. Surprisingly the amt immediately shown in the online acct and I GIRO it out. Last year it took almost one day for the amt to show in the online acct. That's good and an improvement by CIMB for its customers.  biggrin.gif

Yes, CIMB rocks. I have both hsbc and cimb fd accounts. hsbc just sucks compared to cimb.

So its not advisable to put FD in BR now? I already have a FD at Mach Hong Leong at 3.7%. Can I open another FD under the same account ? Thanks

We should send a clear message to the gahmen that we the rakyat will not tolerate such nonsense. If all of us boycott BR, the gahmen will realise thier mistake. If everyone show the 'tak apa' attitude, in future worse scandal may appear and yes, it will affect us all.
