One question, do banks auto renew using board rate or follow the rate from original cert?

I have colleagues who just auto renew their FD without checking and have been doing for years.
*
Follow the tenure of the original cert but renew at current board rate.

You can leave it there on auto-renew for years and just go update your FD cert when you remember.

Then just go update FD cert every 5 years should be fine. 5 years is a long time also. If you don't go update means you probably forgotten about the existence of that funds already. laugh.gif

But who still does that manually nowadays? i prefer e-FD as i can monitor it or uplift it remotely.
For the promo 4%, this is the first time i got the FD cert physically which kind of new to me.  hmm.gif
Hope i will remember to uplift it when it matured.
*
True, but there are still lots of people out there that don't trust online banking. laugh.gif

And a lot of promos are not available online. You need to do your FD placement over the counter to get the promo rates.

Did you get the FD promo from the eFD ? My impression is eFD do not have promo most of the time, I may be wrong.

For me, the FD promo earns more but just have to go to the bank. But for some, may not bother the extra from the FD promo.  brows.gif  laugh.gif

Yea, on top of that. If got large amount, can nego with branch manager for higher rate. And also to get some gifts.

Can't do that with eFD.

Just wanted to spread out my FD in different banks.

Actually FD return is not that good. I was quiet for a while because I invested into property last year and I get 20% to 100% return.
*
Yea, FD is more like savings for the extra cash in hand and not really investment. Lately also not following the promos already cause playing with DCI. laugh.gif

Properties these days quite high price already, still can get so high return? thumbup.gif Maybe I should look into it.

FD is not for those in wealth accumulation mode like our Captain said. tongue.gif

DCI ?

Property is good to go in but unsure which one. Penang property getting higher & higher. But still good to spread out some bullets.  biggrin.gif

A temporary place to put your money until you know what better ways to deal with it. laugh.gif

Dual Currency Investment. If converted then move funds overseas.

Yeah. I would like to apply for Maybank2 Gold card but seeing that I am not working yet = no income proof

But I have my FD and ASG which shows money of >RM50k. Can that be use?

Best is to check with the bank. Sometimes they say you need to show proof this that but sometimes the sales agent don't really follow also.

Bro, firstly, how old are you?

Secondly, clcik here to Credit Card Ask General Question Thread as more people there should be able to assist you.

Last but not least, I not not with Maybank Credit Card Evaluation Dept, so I won't have a clue if they will approve your application or not. You can easily go to Maybankard Centre to enquire if you qualify for their card or not.

munkeyflo, since you under probation I will not launch a complain and you may be excuse for spamming with two posts in a row, hahahaha. But seriously, in CC section, the Mods/Staff do not encourage posts in a row unless if a thread is inactive for a while and a member one to bum it to get the attention of others on what he/she wants to share.

Don't report me la captain. notworthy.gif

Yea, cause one post one reply in these subforums means trying to gain post counts, i.e. stars. That one was because I saw his reply only after I posted. Not spam leh. tongue.gif

Hi Gen-X,

My mum doesn't need fresh fund for HLB. I just asked about the fresh funds (withdraw cash and come back the next day) cause it happened 1-2 years ago.

I asking about UOB promo because maybe my sister is interested. And I am not sure whether they will auto-renew at board rate or auto-renew at promo rate upon maturity.

So it would seems that to be eligible for promo rate, I need to go to bank upon maturity and uplift it.  sad.gif

By the way,
How do you put a box around the person's name (like summoning the person here)?
*
Auto-renew is always at board rate. Just take note when is the due date andden look out for any good FD promos around that time. After all, it's only once a year. Unless you have FD maturing every other month, then it's almost a part time job running around chasing the latest FDs.

Hence, you decide whether you want convenience or you want highest FD rate.

Hi there,

When they say fresh fund, can I use RM10k from Bank A to put into FD Bank B but the next day, transfer RM10k from Bank B to Bank A?
*
This means that you got 20k all together right? You can do it on the same day like Captain said, since you already got the funds to put in.

QUOTE(smile888 @ Oct 24 2014, 11:57 AM)
Hi everyone, how do you all manage to quickly dump in money into fd from one bank to another? wouldnt you all be losing the previous bank fd interest which at the end of the day you dont really benefit much from the new fd in other bank?
*
Most of us wait till our FD is mature only we jump to the other bank. We won't lose out on interest that way. If you uplift early, then of course you'll lose out on the interest. Which is why some of us are also placing FDs in shorter tenure, so won't miss out on certain promos. laugh.gif

Guys, u hv not heard of "Hell has no fury like a woman's wrath."? So don't mess around with lenglui Flo. Once her probation over you better watch out tongue.gif

Aiyah, Captain Gen-X not piloting pirate ship so don't need eye-patch to enhance his image.  He is really a v nice n respectful young man. I am v thankful he called me 'Sis' instead of 'Auntie'. Very flattered u guys, young enough to be my little bros, r calling me lenglui. Actually, I am an ex-lenglui who now totes a pension card to get senior citizen's privileges from banks. laugh.gif

Those Priorty or Privelege  banking nowadays r really rubbish. Majority of the RMs r like buayas. They sulk n won't layan u anymore when u tak hui their sales pitch once too often. Despite serving us brand-name coffee/tea their brew still leave a bitter after-taste. Even their gifts, if u r priveleged enough to receive them, r sub-par. BBG, hope the tray from HLB is worth ur time n effort (like having to ask for it?).

Sorry Flo, know its OT. Hope u will just let it slip this time. Will keep mum after this post smile.gif
*
Eh eh, don't mind me. I got no power here at all. Just another random forumer posting on FD thread like you all. tongue.gif

Ya I agree those Privillege banking nowadays always give sales pitch only. But sometimes still get special parking and also special service from some of them, just have to constantly say no to their sales pitch. biggrin.gif

Thanks for ur reply..normally how u all do transfer from 1 bank to 1 bank? Use banker's cheque? Or what else method can be use?

Bankers cheque would be good. If you have a personal cheque book then you can use your personal cheque as well.
