Renewed and top up my RHB FD for 12 months at 3.88% yesterday. The step up after 12 months will get slightly less than 3.78%. This is because of the 5% FD to be placed in CASA.

You have to place 5 % in CASA for the 12 month promotion?

12 month 3.88% is straight FD. No CASA. I was referring to the 15 months step up FD which needs 5% of FD in CASA.

Two different products offered by RHB
1) 12 months at 3.88% straight FD
2) 15 months step-up. after 12 months interest is 3.78%. With the 5% of FD in CASA, the interest will be slightly less than that of straight FD.

However for those who needs the flexibility in cash and expect an increase in OPR this year can take up the step-FD.

Unless again you are the only child in the family, then no problem. If you have other siblings in the family, better not.

Yesterday put FD in UOB, 13 months 3.90%. Interest will bank into savings account.

Anybody knows what is the diff and why some interest they want to bank in to savings/current acc?

They want you to keep money there which they can use and pay you less interest (compared with FD)?? hmm.gif

one thing you have to know, those run like a government body, their job function not include checking email.

on the side note, funny how people find opening a CASA so troublesome, u just sit there fill some form and done already, whats the big fuss?

also funny why many still interested to talk about <4% p.a. packages.  rclxub.gif

It is the responsibility of Bank Negara to regulate the economy growth, money supply, inflation etc..the tool BN uses to regulate this, for example the inflation rate is OPR. Thus it is not a question of too soon or too late. It is the need arises to regulate the economy that required the OPR adjustment

Another risk with locking in 5-yr interest rate is inflation rate may rise after GST implementation forcing BNM to raise the interest rates in the next few years

Depends on how fast inflation and interest rate rise.if 3 years rise a little,then do not affect as you already gain more compared to 1yr fd.Rite?

Add 5 years to your exsting age and if it is near to EPF withdrawal age limit, EPF can be a good choice as the interest is much higher than bank interest rate.....EPF is MBSB major shareholder if I am not mistaken..EPF also share holder of RhB..

Was informed by Affin bank staff that the 4.05% 15-mth already close from this week.. so no choice have to go for RHB 15-mth step-up promotion with CASA. The RHB 15-mth promotion will end on 31-Aug.
