For their co-op card, my understanding is no fee. I was trying to cancel their co-op card but was told, no annual fee.  smile.gif

Then letter from BR is charging what card ?

Did you do rentas at BR before ?

Bro Magika, when you uplift FD, BR can transfer the funds via GIRO to any other bank account of your choice and the cost is only RM0.30. If you do it in the morning, the funds will be credited to yr nominated account that same evening. So mebbe a good idea to open the RHB Basic Savings Account first and provide them with the account number when u uplift the FD.
*
My maturity date is on Friday, Giro received in the evening means I can only do placement on the following Monday. I will be losing 3 days interest. Not going to argue with RHB when the fund doesnt reach in time as it will be my own fault.

Those placing fd with RHB, does the bank accept banker cheque and consider the placement date on the same day itself ?
Going to uplift in cash and going to nearby Affin for banker cheque.

I never deal with BR before but if BR can Interbank Giro, then BR is either the member bank of Malaysian Electronic Clearing Corporation Sdn Bhd (MyClear) or MEPS IBG payment system. The timing of fund clearance should be the same as other member banks.
You can go to BR in the morning opening hour to do the OTC IBG to your other bank's current account, the fund should be good in the afternoon. Then write a chq and bring to RHB for FD placement on Friday itself.

Thanks. I do have current account.

However already informed BR to prepare cash for me so proceed with banker cheque option.

Thanks Captain.

If FD maturity date falls on weekend , do auto renewal date starts on weekend ?If there is no intention of renewing it albeit to board rate, but there is prevailing auto renewal instruction, so upliftment on the following workday, will it be considered early upliftment of the new period ?

hi Magika,
this is my first posting here but has been following the last few months.
like to share my experience regarding FD.
Last friday my FD matured with BR, They dont issue banker cheque.
so transfer my money to mbb about 11am.
went to rhb about 3pm, issue a personal cheque to them, they accepted it.
the new fd starts from friday itself.
*
Thanks.
Just got rusty as hardly move my funds for some time. I think we do have the same configuration ie deposit with BR, Current Account with MBB, new placement with RHB. However info came too late, as already instruct BR to prepare Cash so must be prepared to carry out whatever I have already decided. I dont like sudden changed of plans, very superstitious.

parmin welcome to the club thumbup.gif

Oops, just remember why I dont want use it this way. IBG after 9.31am receipient bank supposed to received by 5.45pm. This means when we issued cheque for FD placement, our Current Account does not actually have the funds yet. We are assuming that there is no problem in the IBG process. Normally there would not be any problems, but thats not how i operate. I dont assume anything. Thanks anyway.

Just received a letter from BR.. They stated BR also having upfront interest payment for FD, Min 5k now.

I did receive the info but did not realise its meant to be be upfront interest. BR communication with its branches is so bad that none of the branches attempt to promote it. However this time not really interested as will be moving my funds all out provided there still is competitive promo. Thanks

Latest offer almost equivalent to 4.16%.

bbgoat I remember last time BR did not charge me for IBG. tongue.gif
Over the counter supposed to be RM0.30 only, free for senior citizen and OKU.

Initially I thought I was cheated by lenglui. Paid her RM2 by cash.  vmad.gif Then checked the IBG sheet, clearly printed RM2 added in there.  biggrin.gif

So, it may yet be another inconsistency in BR operation.  shakehead.gif

magika when you go there again, can you ask them about nego rate ? You are our savior/fighter for our rights !  notworthy.gif

IBG charges are stated on their website, print how much also nevermind as you rich tauge laugh.gif

I just went this morning and the ABM said no more nego rate, nevermind also as not really intend to renew. As long as other banks got competive promo then ok if not go back BR. 'Where there is shade we shall sit' no need loyalty

I thought RENTAS should be nearly immediate/instant.

That we also heard but need confirmation from those using it before. Google it but there is just cutoff time for same day transfer.
Maybe previously IBG (giro) needs longer time frame but now IBG is also same day transfer with respect to cutoff times. So wonder whether it is still relevant for normal customers.

Maybe our bro cherroy can shed some light. notworthy.gif

Yes, there is cut off before about noon time to enable Rentas to credit in the same time based on experience.

But now, IBG if done early in the morning, late afternoon already credit into the account already.

Just IBG has max limit of 10~20K generally, so if bigger amount still has to do with Rentas. Correct me if I am wrong or slow in update the info.

Thanks bro. notworthy.gif

Am in Bank Rakyat trying to perform Rentas, initial reaction staff extremely unhappy. However I regard this as a learning experience and will update the process later.

Update on RENTAS at Bank Rakyat.

Not having the experience of using RENTAS plus lack of info on the net, so decided to perform it on one of my FD upliftment at Bank Rakyat. Staff at the bank rebuffed me on the use of the facilty so left with no choice, i called their customer service, after a bit of my stern lecture, customer service facilitate by arranging with my branch.Was informed cutoff time before 11 am contrary to existing info.

Went to the branch, immediately saw unhappy faces at the counter and backoffice. Counter officer informed me that normally only allowed for fund over 300k, that is questionable, but this time i let it be. However , need to write request letter to bank on the spot requesting to RENTAS my fund to receipient bank. No standard form means , maybe, i am the first individual to use that facility. biggrin.gif

RENTAS is immediate real time transfer. How i know ? Immediately after being handed the transfer statement, i login my receipient bank and available total in full is shown. rclxms.gif

Summon bbgoat

How much it cost ?










Nil or RM0.00 , maybe due to FD upliftment or maybe officers afraid I will lodge further complain. laugh.gif

Standard RENTAS charge could be RM 2. Some bank used to charge it for RM 4.

I was informed by customer service that it is at RM5 for cable charges.

I received a SMS from RHB today but did not bother to go see my RM and the tellers don't know about the promo:

Enjoy Interest Rate up to 3.95% p.a. for our 3-month FD today! For info, please contact your relationship manager. T&C apply.

3.95% for 3 months ? summon bbgoat to investigate

Off topic a bit

From reading the posts by you guys, I feel that Bank Rakyat is really not that competent.

U comfortable placing so much $$$ with it? sweat.gif

*
Actually which bank is competent ? I do have grouses with OCBC and Maybank also. But bear in mind that BR is not a truly commercial bank , so no real exposure of the real world, a kampong bank.

You are something to have called, write-up to get what you wanted. Zero fees for RENTAS ! 2 days ago I did OTC IBG in BR at RM2.  notworthy.gif

So, where did u move the bullets, to RHB again ?

What again ? Only deposit once with RHB.

QUOTE(Gen-X @ Nov 14 2014, 02:23 PM)
hahahaha, this is really funny.

But what you say is true, some get charge for IBG and my hero pays nothing for RENTAS.

And then some have to call their BR branch to have the monthly interest credited into their account!!

And with the fake gold fiasco where BR lost tens of millions and 0% interest loan to carpet man worth hundred of millions (which BR had to cover their ass by putting out a statement that Islamic Banking got no interest charges!!!), many still have full confidence in the co-op bank.

And to answer your question, not on their behalf, greed makes them blind PLUS their money is guaranteed by the Rakyat.

Captain, change the world if you can, if cannot learn to live with it. Let me dig some dirt on RHB first .. laugh.gif

I think there will be more good things to come from BR. One of their staff called me just now. It seems they are having a post mortem on their dropping deposits ( cause bbgoat withdraw) . Their enquiry based on how much other banks seem to be offering to enticed our mass withdrawal. biggrin.gif

PIDM protection is based on one account per bank. Conventional and Islamic is considered as 2 banks though.

Instead of:
"It's max RM250K per account"

I think more accurate term will be RM250k protection per individual or entity (company account) in particular bank.  smile.gif Not account based.

Below copied from the link by Captain (PIDM pdf file):
The RM250,000 deposit insurance limit is applicable per depositor per member bank

Its aptly described . notworthy.gif I concur

There was some debate back then as the example shown only muddled matters.

Just spread it around as without PIDM = shakehead.gif shakehead.gif no wonder no nego rate

I dont believe in Bernas monopoly so i dont eat rice biggrin.gif

Young man, dont be afraid to make a stand, BR or not its upto personal preferences. MBSB also same loan to civil servant. In fact all banks have personal loan not only for civil servant but everybody. Only few banks have the angkasa auto deduction priviledge though. So boycott certain banks to benefit other banks ? Wat same % pa ! Must start boycott certain company even have loan for pots and pans.
