good, any min. amount and CASA requirements?

RM20 for CASA then should be Basic Saving Account, just make sure its Option 1 meaning without yearly ATM fees. 
In my opinion going long term for 2 years and above is good decision.

So the basic guide should be RM20 opening deposit for Basic Saving Account.

Agreed that Affin 2 years 4.38% is the best deal so far, after that RHB 9 mths 4.15%. May have to go the 2 years route at 4.38% for now until a better one comes up. Just early this year was putting in BR for 2 years at 4.25%, then to 4.2%. So Affin 4.38% is GOOD !

Young Magic is a sifu in SA. Learned on the BSA with option 1 from him. Never know about this until now. 

Why no ATM/ Debit card ? Then not true Option 1 , i think ...
Someone posted open CASA at RHB also no ATM card no charges but not BSA.
No ATM card passbookless then how to check balance or perform transaction over the counter only is a hassle.

Hi, i have few hundred thousand cash which i want to place for fixed deposit. May i have an advise on which bank is the best in my case ?
Is there anyone who can intro me to the bank ?

(1) RHB 6 months - 4.00% p.a.
(2) RHB 9 months - 4.15% p.a.
(3) OCBC Pure FD for 12 Months - 4.10% p.a. (Free Medklin Assens Air Steriliser plus a chance to win a 916 Gold Coin - RinggitPlus only)
(4) OCBC Pure FD for 3 Months - 3.80% p.a. (Free Medklin Assens Air Steriliser plus a chance to win a 916 Gold Coin - RinggitPlus only)
(5) UOB Pure FD for 12 Months - 4.05% p.a.
(6) UOB Pure FD for 3 Months - 3.80% p.a.
(7) May Bank upfront interest for 12 months - 4.00% p.a.
(8) Penang OCBC for 6 Months - 4.00% p.a.
(9) Affin for 24 Months - 4.38% p.a.

So for current offer, would RHB 4.15% for 9 Months be the best offer ?

guys. im new here.

just a little confused. why would people put fixed deposit in Singapore when the rates are around 1%+ compared to Malaysia's 3%+?

why dont they convert to MYR and put as fixed deposit here? am i missing something here?

thanks in advance guys.

Aaah...understand. Thanks a lot for the clear explanation!

Of course, if there is a FD promo that can accept RM 1000, I would take the promo instead. But, I will skip this idea, since most promo will require huge amount of money. 

Since the FD tenure is 1-year, it is okay for me to go to the bank once a year to make the deposit.
Thanks, I will just follow your idea of splitting the FD into multiple accounts.

Since Mach by Hong Leong offers 4% for 1-year tenure, I am trying to decide between Mach and Affin bank.
Regarding Mach Fixed Deposit Money Box Campaign:

1. I have a saving account (with an ATM card) in Hong Leong Bank. Still, do I have to open Money Box Deposit Account, before I can open Mach Fixed Deposit online?

2. Can I open the Money Box Deposit Account in Hong Leong branch?

3. Also, I have to consider the cost of the saving account (minimum account opening amount is RM50; debit card annual fee is RM8.00). Is it worthwhile for my case?

Thank again for your advice. 

UOB Christmas Promo 12 months 4.2% extended until 31 December 2014. Click here to my Fixed Deposit Page for more FD Promos.

I tell you, nowadays I don't really have to move my funds here and there to satisfy the big hassle fresh fund requirement. Today and back in November, UOB PB staff got approval for me to have my matured FD renewed at Promo rates. But of course I'm a humble and nice guy where I begged nicely, hahaha. Like I mentioned before, most RM don't get any commission from our FD deposits and it is not in their scope of works to go get HQ approval for "special" FD rates requested from their customers. They do it out of goodwill, and of course once a while show your appreciation, e.g. like sylille mentioned, she was willing to take an Affin staff out for lunch because he/she was so helpful. And being nice to the bank staff also got other perks, like they will not be stingy in giving you Ang Pows packets
