Oh Warrior.. we can forget about the KFH FD deal now, it is not attractive.

These days FD promotion rates are getting higher. Maybe financial institutions are expecting BNM to raise the OPR in the not-too-distant future. Looking forward to seeing more >4%p.a. without CASA requirement.

Pump up to BR..?  hmm.gif  Now I do not have money for FD..

December is approaching…are you still going ahead with your plan to lock your $$$ in MBSB?


QUOTE(BoomChaCha @ Oct 29 2014, 11:12 PM)
But I quite like the BR monthly interest, I think will put some there but still need to see the whether first..

Aiya, about BR’s internet banking…really vmad.gif

I know that the online account is very convenient to check account balance, check monthly interest credited & to transfer fund.

I’ve tried to apply for a joint account Coop card to register for BR’s internet account…but some doh.gif staff repeatedly said can’t be done.

Ya loh.. I think it is better to place not more 1 year tenure now unless if the FD promotion is very fantastic..
I am still hoping there is another OPR increase soon..
Economists said next OPR hike should be in between June to December of 2015..
*
You've anticipated for the increase of the OPR till end of 2014...now you are willing to hold-up your MBSB plan until December 2015? sweat.gif

Fuh...respect your perseverance flex.gif

Warrior, you can get joint account for Coop card.
My Coop card is joint account, it cost me RM 8 for one time fee.
I think if your FD is joint account then you should be able to get your Coop card in joint account.
*
Thanks for the info & confirmation that the Coop joint account card exists.

Will apply for it during my next visit to BR.

If your Coop card is a joint account, are you able to view & perform transactions for your individual BR account?


QUOTE(BoomChaCha @ Dec 6 2014, 12:53 AM)
Warrior..it seems the FD rates are keep going-up lately...
So, I think I will put on hold not to place with MBSB 5 years..
Most likely I will go for UOB 1 year at 4.2% first..
*
I'm going to put on hold my plan to the "casino" as well tongue.gif ...but not because the FD rates keep going up, rather it's mainly because the Bursa shares keep dipping laugh.gif

another option ... hope not confuse you ... put into BR 1 year in how ever many certs possible. If you have emergency, and need to withdraw, they pay you the next best rate eg if withdraw after 9th month + x days, you get interest as if it was 9mth FD in the first place. That's what they explain to me last time. Pls call them to confirm smile.gif

I have made a premature FD withdrawal from BR recently & can confirm that the highlighted part is accurate.


QUOTE(magika @ Dec 8 2014, 04:09 PM)
Not the way to calculate premature withdrawal, like that I will put 5 years deposit, withdraw after 12 months still no loss.  drool.gif
On withdrawal after 9 months, they will refer to their own table for "pramatang" so they called it 9 months rate @ reduced rate.
*
Previously, I've posted in FD thread that BR has ditched the old "pramatang" table.

Currently, if you put 5 years FD deposit with BR, you'll get 4.50%.

In the event that you withdraw after 12 months, then the 12-month profit rate is applicable ---> 4.10%

Warrior, the weather condition sometimes is hard to predict.

We look at the economic condition of bolehland today, I think only few people will go for long term now.
Just take Affin 4.38% for 2 years as an example, 4.38% is quite close to 4.7%, this indirectly will give pressure to
MBSB to revise their 4.7% rate to higher rate.
*
Ya loh, we are getting poorer with weak oil price & weak ringgit...our purchasing power will be affected.

I don't think I'm going for medium or long term FD at the time being.

Initial plan now is to find higher % return than FD to soften the blow...next year kena GST somemore...beh tahan lo sweat.gif


QUOTE(BoomChaCha @ Dec 14 2014, 12:12 AM)
Warrior, I have never used the coop card in BR ATM machine except during the first time I had to use it in BR ATM
to activate the card. Just like other ATM cards, I think everybody can use the BR card in ATM as long as knows the password.
If to use iRakyat account, when I log-in iRakyat to view, perform transactions or IBG money, I just need to use the same user ID and same password that I have registered in iRakyat.

But I had experienced twice that when I wanted to IBG money from iRakyat, I had to get the OTP from BR, in less than a minute, BR sms the OTP to my mobile phone. In this case, the secondary name in joint account will not be able to get the OTP.
*
Thanks for the info.

Another Q: can we cancel the Coop card after activate iRakyat? To avoid kena charge annual fee by BR...

Bursa kena massive hit by foreign funds...any plan to trim down some FD placement & deploy the $$$ to support the market? brows.gif

Hello, I've received the pension scheme letter and now no longer put contribution for my EPF. My friends suggested that I take out the money from my EPF and put it into a more profitable "institution". I can withdraw about 14k from the fund.

Is it better to open a FD account or is there a better way to invest it? I'm still looking at other options such as UT or tabung haji..
*
Are you a gahmen servant in your twenties?

Besides FD, UT & Tabung Haji, can aim for stock too smile.gif

Currently some good stocks are offering 6-7% dividend yield...FD rate sure kena pwned laugh.gif

PS: DD is necessary

Ya loh, just place short term FD to see the cuaca first...

But can consider AM Bank 4.5% for 3 years.. hmm.gif

Consider, considering, considered...reconsidered tongue.gif & sudah get into the act rclxm9.gif

Do you yearn to be in on the act as well? brows.gif


QUOTE(BoomChaCha @ Dec 30 2014, 12:04 PM)
Warrior, I do not know the answer.
But so far I have not received any notification from BR that Coop card will be charged RM 5 annual fee..

Boh boon tay, I've pulled out almost all $$$ from BR & closed long zhong account with them laugh.gif


QUOTE(BoomChaCha @ Dec 30 2014, 12:04 PM)
FD market is similar to share market recently, everybody is guessing the FD rate will go up or go down..
But the big difference is that FD will not lose money, unless if Titanic (bank bankrupt) happens...  biggrin.gif
*
I've no idea the FD rate will go up or down but I forecast the rate will not surpass 4.5% within these few years nod.gif

Anyone try the AmBank 36 month 4.5% FD promo yet?
From the TnC, can't seems to find the interest frequency, e.g. monthly or half-annually.
Not sure if it is a good move to commit for 3 year straight... unsure.gif
*
I did happy.gif

The interest will be credited semi-annually.

The T&C did not mention anything about opening a SA requirement too...for interest crediting purpose grumble.gif
