Bro, thanks for reading my articles

Oh, I am sure you also read about RENTAS in my article, which cost more than GIRO over the counter. RENTAS allow more to be transferred. I wonder if BR have RENTAS facility?
Yes, the UOB 13 months promo is Pure FD. And interest will be paid semi-annually into a CASA account. So, if you have a CASA account then no issue. However if you don't have a UOB Savings or Current Account, you need to open one. AND most UOB CASA account have some fees! If you going for the UOB 13 months FD Promo and need to open CASA, check out their eAccount which is FREE (no monthly fees) but you got to pay for the ATM card I think.
Bro, if no need CASA, why does the interest go into?
AVFAN - last year we discussion at V4 about AUD. AUD/MYR exchange rate about 3.2 then. Well, AUD/MYR is now below 2.9 again

USA/MYR strengthen but AUD is weakening like hell against USD (AUD/USD down 0.83% as of now). Time to start monitoring AUD/MYR

3.2 -- > 2.9, that's 9.375%. Whomever deposited in AUD Term Deposit back in May 2013 had wish they have deposited in RM instead.

Since BR stopped issuing banker's cheques, they did an IBG transfer for my matured FD to my CA in another bank but the monies cannot be used until after 6pm today - so cannot placed new FD for today!
Why does it take so long (945am till 6.00pm) to credit the monies?

Guys, Bank Rakyat does have RENTAS for individuals. I just did it last month for RM 5 over the counter. By the time I reached RHB on the same day, the funds were already there.

15mths 4.25% at Standard Chartered before 19th September.
12mths 4.0 %.
These must be the highest RATES offer at this time for PIDM Bank Deposits.
Nice promo but I just closed my account last month! Too short duration also, just a week and a half.
