I do not think now it is a good idea to move RM to oversea lah, unless got kid study oversea.
Singapore, US FD rates are low, I would rather to keep RM here to take advantage of the
going-up interest rate.

why "If hesitant then only considered later half of the year" leh..?
Scared about what leh..? hmm.gif

Yes, I noticed AUD has less volatile to against the recent depreciation of RM.

QUOTE(gsc @ Dec 11 2014, 01:15 AM)
Thanks for the reminder. Public bank foreign currency account automatically move it to working day if maturity falls on off and rest day. I noticed ths a couple of years back but not sure is the bank still practice this.

I wonder in general will bank allow client to move maturity date to working day during the FD placement.
*
I do not think so. I think each bank has different policy.

For example, my SCB FD will mature on Saturday. SCB does not move the Saturday FD maturity day to working day.

So, when this FD matures, it will auto renew on Saturday for another new 15 months FD, therefore I have to request
SCB to put my FD principal + earned interest to my SCB saving account upon FD maturity so that I still can earn at least
1 day interest in my saving account after I make withdrawal from my SCB saving account on Monday.

QUOTE(aeiou228 @ Dec 9 2014, 04:49 PM)
I have a different view on this and my choice would be RHB 9mths.
After factor in the compound interest for the next 3 months from 9th to 12th. The effective rate is 4.182. Very close to UOB 12 mths 4.20% already. Therefore for Rm50k deposit it's RM6.75 lesser interest over 9 mths period but i get the advantage of earlier maturity. Upon maturity at 9th month, I don't think can get 3 mths 4.35% but one still can renew 9 mths or 12 months for higher rates. ( assuming prevailing FD rates remain the same)
*
I think I prefer this strategy because of the advantage of earlier FD maturity.. hmm.gif
I am still expecting the interest rate will go up again soon during next year...

Move RM to oversea..? This will cost money in currency conversion and processing fee.

Instead of 3 months 3.85% from UOB and OCBC, any other banks for min 10k?

UOB & OCBC located quite far from my place.

Lol...

Actually i placed before the eFD, on Public bank... They will call you once the FD slip is ready in the bank. I was just transferring money from saving account to FD, done online. And few days later, they called for collection of slip.

I'm just wondering if those promo that need new fund, eFD still applicable?

I dont think that qualifies as eFD though. hmm.gif Thats conventional FD placed online. Maybank used to have that, not sure now, placed online then later collect cert. Online eFD placement is online, no cert ot receipt, upliftment online to CASA.

But u can only do that via someone personally present at that country Or you somehow have an account opened there before...

problem is how we can put it under our own name to earn that %?

I know once rubles FD gives 13% pa, and i'd put into that FD rate using USD..

back from placing another FD with Affin for the 2yrs 4.38% p.a. thumbup.gif

utilized IBG "fresh" fund from MBB >> Affin's SA which i did from Monday till Wednesday. Better than using MBB's banker's cheque @ RM5. rclxms.gif


FYI, Affin has a new 6-mth FD promo.

6-month @ 3.90% p.a. Fresh fund with min. RM10k per customer.

This is better than its own board rate of 3.70% p.a. for 12-mth, but still lower than OCBC/RHB/AmBank/UOB/Alliance @ 4.00% p.a. laugh.gif

Attached Image Attached Image


ps BoomChaCha, Affin pays interest if maturity falls on non-working days.
