I win also I lose. Would have been happy if OPR increased this time instead of Nov.  smile.gif  sad.gif
Oh..? Why 1 win and 1 lose..? Quite funny.. biggrin.gif
Actually no lose lah..but just make less interest only..

Have you thought about your back-up FD plan if in case cannot get the SCB 4.25% tomorrow?
I mean if the quota is full before we reach SCB?

I think it is better to call SCB RM first for "reservation" before we go, so that we do not need
to go there for nothing.. sweat.gif

I am thinking maybe my back-up option is Am Bank 3.85% for 5 months, what do you think?

Starting about few months ago, have encountered a few banks asking this question. Could be BNM requirement. The question is more on "what is the purpose of withdrawing the FD".  biggrin.gif

They are not only asking, but also write down what I say on a paper.. sweat.gif
But most of the time I will lie to them by saying that I want to buy a car for down payment..

This is quite nonsense to ask "what is the purpose of withdrawing the FD"..? biggrin.gif

If they ask me, normally I say "better rates elsewhere, yours too low" (which is most of the time true) tongue.gif

Should tell them others are offering me better rates. That way, they might up their rates in the future. In the end, we win. biggrin.gif rclxms.gif

Guess it is on right away.   Branch Manager called me earlier today to inform me about this. Think like the last time you will have to tell the counter staff to ask their higher-ups about these special rates.

FYI, funds newly deposited into Affin's savings account can be used to open FD that require fresh funds. I have done it before with the assistance of the Branch Manager. I realised that the Branch Manager does have quite a fair bit of autonomy.  Once, the BM even waived the fresh fund requirement to allow me to open FD at special promo rates.

Thanks so much for the tips as well as the Affin Bank Islamic future FD promo..
Next time I will try to ask Affin if I can use existing fund to place FD, of course in order to protect
your privacy, your name will not be mentioned.. notworthy.gif

Yes, sometimes I say the same like what you say..

But I am curious why banks want to ask this question?
I think this is for banks' marketing survey..? hmm.gif

Backup is RHB 15 mth 4.06% FD.

Have got the len lui h/p number to call SCB before I go. tongue.gif Actually their location in Pg is pretty bad in terms of car parking.

Yes, they did write it down but should not be an issue. I would say FD elsewhere, for investment etc. biggrin.gif

For conventional FD for short term 1-3 months, is CIMB the 'king' (highest interest) of all?

Just discovered RHB allows to withdraw FD in all branches nationwide.

But do not understand why sometimes when withdraw FD, bank will ask where am I going to bring the money to?
Is it a Bank Negara requirement?

Your $$$ all tied to FD because of the high rates available during that time?

No allocate some for super duper mega sale in stock & property?

If your weather forecast is clear (to deposit in MBSB), don't forget to inform me.

However, if your weather report includes natural disasters or extraterrestrial activities (higher FD rate elsewhere), make it double-quick to inform me biggrin.gif

In SCB today for the 4.25% FD. The "consultant" recommended a "JustOne" account which does NOT need any money in saving account. Normal SA need min RM20 there.

Interest is paid on the 6th mth then at the final 15th mth to the saving account. Did someone say that interest only paid at end of 15 mths ? hmm.gif

FD can be placed up to 4pm the same day using cheques. smile.gif

The FD may be extended next week. Have to call to confirm. smile.gif

Did anyone who place FD with SCB for the 4.25% received an sms from the bank on something about "Plastic Resins"?

Mine did, from KFH to SCB. But then again I might be lucky whistling.gif
You'll have to do it before 1.00 or 1.30pm, for same day transfer.

It is best that you confirm with the bank officer.
