Hi, I went to enquire about Affin's 12 mths FD. 3.6%. The customer service person told me that interest would be credited monthly into savings provided I put in RM10k minimum. Anyone has experience in this?
Thank you.

got 3.9% out there from the first page, anything higher than inflation rate?

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 don't know about you, but it doesn't sound professional to me as a bank not to define wth is pihak berkuasa.

Affin.

Location is near my place, and not many people. so all transactions are done super quick

And then maybe RHB. Same reason as above.

And of course Maybank, because E-FD is very convenient.

Thanks for your comment, it's good you know what you need specifically...

how about a quick comparison on Affin vs RHB vs Maybank?

(add Public Bank & Ambank too if you are familiar)

Like any insurance, this one would charge a premium and dilute the FD interest rate, am i right?

On PIDM website, many are members
http://www.pidm.gov.my/About-Deposit-Insur...ution-List.aspx

Next reverse question would be: "which FD package offers the most competitive rate that has PDIM coverage?"

Btw, are we looking at a revision of rate soon? how soon is that and is it likely upward or downward bias?

Thanks in advance... notworthy.gif

Received sms from HSBC abt thier FD promotion - 3.7% for 12 mths and 4% for 36 mths.
If FD rates goes up substantially that will affect the property market badly cos less people can afford to borrow housing loans.

5.88% p.a.

Current top contenders as i gathered:

Affin 3.6% HL 15m 4.0%
BankRaykat 3.9%
UOB 3.85% 13m
AmBank 3.75% 15m

wait 5 more days, first fd promo above 4.0% will secure huge customer orders, let's see which bank has good marketing department. As of now, which one will you pick?

i think they don't split in 95:5 ratio;

so to deposit 9.5k into FD, you need 475 in saving account.

But ya, whatever in the CASA can't go back into your FD from what i understand.
*
so lets say if you withdraw RM10 from the RM475, the FD interest will be forfeited somehow?

Hence why it's call the stupid CASA thingy. laugh.gif

Some banks will do the ratio thing, some will be % of your FD placement into CASA.
Most likely just lost out on the interest earned from June 1st until now.
*
they want you to pay for extra banking charges to maintain the CASA accounts?

Previous CASA FD promo is not so attractive but now it breaks the 4% barrier  drool.gif  If there is not much change of FD rate after OPR meeting, i will move some FD from BR to RHB dy. The new RHB branch at my place is opposite a shopping mall and has ample parking space  biggrin.gif

parking is the least concern as you only visit them every 13mths for renewal or withdrawal.

... less player less competition -- fix deposit rates included, but I am quite sure there is more to it than that ...  it does make me wonder why banks are making promotion for rates, rather being straight forward and apply it to the board rates ... smile.gif  ....

2 reasons, from marketing standpoint, consumer buy on sentiments. dont you buy more because tesco go more cheaper promotion? second to track the marketing campaign results and fine tune for next one.

Ha ha, a lot of hungry fish waiting for baits ?  drool.gif  drool.gif

For me, I would look at the bank's history of offers, wait until at least 2 banks rate increase, .......

This fish will be choosy as far as baits are concerned. Hungry for a short while.  cry.gif

no need bait (freebies), just open the right fishing net (4.2% without CASA and tell us here) will do, fishes will jump in.
