Well Done Gen-X

Check-in V7 Good job Sifu

reporting in...best pidm deal now uob 13m?

Bro, UOB 13 months interest paid semi-annually too deposited into CASA.

This post has been edited by Gen-X: Sep 6 2014, 10:19 AM

Newb here.

Where do I find the comparison for eFD rates? (online placements)

Too lazy to walk in to bank.. hehe

Reporting in to V7

I guess it depends on what bank accounts you have too. Say if you don't have a CIMB account but CIMB gives the best eFD rates, you still have to walk in to a branch to create an account and CIMB Clicks before you can place your eFD.

eFD rates are usually stated on the bank's website.

Can withdraw on the second days means the whole amount, or need to leave a token sum inside the SA? Should be able to transfer out using online IBG right? Thanks

the missing article = EPF caught in tricky bind

http://www.therakyatpost.com/business/2014...ht-tricky-bind/

Recent released weak July export number has suggested low possibility of rate hike in Sept BNM meeting.

Ahhh... Too bad for ppl like me with no loans.

https://www.pbebank.com/Personal-Banking/Pr...A-Campaign.aspx

the 4% of PBB , izzit all type of saving account entitled for it?
sorry still new, cause it write what product FD plus conventional

BoomChaCha
1. Fuiyo, 5% FD + 3% SA and you still hesitate to act? What makes you to have different opinion now than you had before?

2. Why don't wanna attend HLB open house? You kena spooked by giko's tale? It's still OK for me la...just join in the celebration, mingle with people & compete in games. It is a very informal public event if we do not have any money transaction. So it won’t draw much attention.

3. If it is 3 years, then I’d say it is possible that MBSB will revise the 4.70%...I thought you were referring to the possibility of a revision between now until year end

Warrior, I hate the feeling of regret since after missing the 5%.
I did not want to repeat this regret, so I decided to execute my "Dead or Alive plan."

"Dead or Alive plan" means I am willing to take a 5 years gamble either to earn extra FD interest or to lose some interest
for 5 years.. I had to gave myself the guts to do it...


Aiya, don't want lah.. Ha ha..

At first, the staff from MBSB branch gave me a wrong info that MBSB, CIMB and RHB would merge officially by next year January.
If the above 3 were to merge officially by next year January, then I guess MBSB would not revise the 5 years rate.

Hope this answers to your question?

Guys need some light here...

Referred to Maybank FD rates, effective is 3.85%, where the promotion rate for 12 months is up to 6%. So how they calculate it? Let say I deposit 10k for 3 months....

Actually I still blind with FD running process and interest earned... Hope sifus out there can enlightenment me. Thanks

Another question, how to eligible to earn 6% for maybank FD? Thanks

This post has been edited by geniuz: Sep 7 2014, 01:03 PM

Principal Rate Int (pa) Int Rec'd
10,000.00 3.30% 330.00 82.50
10,000.00 3.50% 350.00 87.50
10,000.00 3.70% 370.00 123.33
10,000.00 5.00% 500.00 41.67
10,000.00 6.00% 600.00 50.00
385.00

Likewise...I can still feel the woe of not depositing $$$ for the 5%, but no point lamenting now.

The red part hor...how come a FD yielding 4.70% or 5% can make you lose some interest for 5 years? It is only possible if you are really si beh unlucky, place 4.7% 5-year FD in MBSB on 8 August, then on the next day MBSB raises the rate to 5%


Why you shy shy wanna join la? Can't help but raise my suspicion that instead of a historian/librarian/bookkeeper, you are actually an undercover/spy/double-agent lying low to avoid being conspicuous


Yup, it does.

First row... At rate 3.30%... So i get 330 or 82.50? How u calculate to get 82.50?

U get 82.50 which is 1st 3 mths int

How do i eligible to entitle for 6% rate?

The 6% p.a rate is only applicable for the 12th month. It's just a marketing gimmick.

The overall effective (average) interest rate for the programme is 3.85% as stated clearly.

Ya loh.. .. Warrior..
At that time worried this and worried that... ...But the 2 primary reasons were the 5 year tenure and no guts loh..

Oh..you answered it right to your question..
If I can remember correctly, the MBSB 5 years rate was quite fluctuating at that time..

If we place at 4.7% now, it could raise to at least 4.8% next year.. I think this is possible if based on MBSB's style and old
data.. Ha ha...

Ai yah.. one of the reasons is I cannot get leave to go lah.. Warrior..

Out of curiosity, during the 97-98 financial crisis, did you lump sum show hand into FD or buy stock?

During that spell, banks offered high FD rates yo...


I do not have the exact chronicle of MBSB's 5-year FD rate, so can't comment on the fluactuation part.

However, I do know that I will not hold my $$$ to wait for a hike in IR from MBSB. MBSB can take its sweet candy time to revise the rate wor & the longer we wait, we squander more on our $$$. There will be hits & misses. Can't have perfect timing everytime lo My way of play la...not to say is perfect, just sharing Your money, you call the shot...

So, when do you intend to place your FD? Wait until next year or this December?


Oww...no wonder la

6% is only for one month. I dunno how they market that promo but most of this "Step Up FDs" will say that you can get UP TO highest % p.a. to trick people into thinking theirs is the best.

It comes with Terms and Conditions and the T&C for this is that you will have to lock up your funds for 12 months. It will be given the interest rate as stated and only the last month will be entitled to 6%. After you complete the 12 months, the average interest rate you will be getting is 3.85%.

So that mean if i deposit 10k and let it running to complete 12 months than i end up getting fully paid of 3.85% rate which is rm385 right? So when the 6% rate come in action??

Yes, you will get average rate of 3.85%.

The 6% is for the 12th month of that 12 months. Only that month you get 6% per annum.

i want to ask, i am chinese.. those like maybank got online efixdeposit..
if apply those got islamic n conventional..
islamic 1 higher a little.. 3.4 and convention 3.3..
can i apply islamic?

1more thing, pbb got 4% now.. abit tempting..
other bank higher but lazy open an acc in other bank.

This post has been edited by eddie2020: Sep 9 2014, 05:53 PM

yes, chinese can apply for islamic fd too

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?

I got 11% p.a. for 1 year FD from EON bank during that time, .. but did not buy any stocks at all..
How about you..?

This is true, nothing is perfect.
You still have at least 3 months time to observe and decide..

I am thinking to wait for 6 months from now.. So this means I am hoping MBSB
will revise their 5 years rate within 6 months; if the 4.7% no raise within 6 months, then
I will just go ahead to place 4.7% in 6 months later.. I am going to take this gamble..Warrior..

Meaning from month 1 to month 12, i will get 6% rate at month 12 right? Together with 3.85%? I still dont get it

TQ. Next time have to be very early, before 930am, assuming banks open at 9am???

mind asking, if non-islam can apply, what is so islamic about this fd?

something like this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_banking

All banks open at 9.30am, I have never heard of any banks open at 9.00am...
So it seems no way to receive money via IBG on the same day...??

But please try to look at CIMB table one more time, take a look at the top
side of the below picture, it stated Instant Transfer from
all savings & current accounts, does it mean that we can deposit the money
from matured FD to our Bank Rakyat saving account, then use Instant Transfer
feature to TT money from our BR saving account to our recipient bank accounts
so that our recipient bank accounts can receive the money on the spot?
But not sure if BR has this feature or not..?

Why not you go to Maybank and ask the staff to explain to you? I don't think you will get it no matter how we try to explain.

from month 1 - 11 you get lower rate. ONLY on the 12th month you get 6% Per ANNUM/YEAR.

EFFECTIVE RATE (which is average of all interest from the 12 months) is 3.85% PA.

in short, if you put 10k, you get Rm385 interest Per ANNUM/YEAR. Forget about the 6% thing if it confuses you.

Bro, if you have a current account - You can perform GIRO before 12.30pm into the current account and then go to another bank and place a new FD. I have shown in my article A Little Bit Of This and A little Bit Of That that I perform GIRO at RHB before 12.30am into my HLB account and same time wrote a cheque. At 7pm, the amount transferred via GIRO transfer was credited into my HLB current account but the cheque amount not debited yet.


hahaha, that guy is a genius, he's playing you. Seriously, what this shows you many don't understand about % p.a. and don't comprehend effective interest rate. That's why many are getting poorer signing up for Personal Loan where Banks advertised "low" interest rate but in actual fact the effective interest rate can be as high as credit card's interest rate. I guess there is some truth about what people are saying about our poor education system,

Yes, anyone can make deposit with Islamic Products at Islamic Banks. But you got to understand that dividend (interest) is not guaranteed (but usually they honor it).

As per the CIMB's table, it's RM0.10 per IBG transaction but I paid BR RM2.00, so does that mean mine's an instant transfer?


Will try this out for the next month's maturing BR FD... TQ Gen-X.

BTW, I really loved your quote "...if I don't spend my money on my children's education, they will eventually inherit my assets anyway and god knows how they'll spend it!." from your latest article ( http://generationsxyz.blogspot.com/2014/09...es-me.html#more ). WOW!

Did not realize moved to new V7.

Called to RHB Bank. Only left FD promotion, 6 mths 3.80% and 9 mths 3.85%.

Hi guys, I just called UOB regarding the 13 months 3.95% and the lady told me it's a pure fd. Confused now..... ....

what to be confused?

Looks like the 13 mth at 3.95% is best deal at the moment, for 12/13 month FD.

BCC, the RHB 6 mth at 3.8% may be a good one while waiting out for any OPR change.

That is over the counter GIRO charge, not instant transfer.

Confused on pure fd? No tie up with CASA.

The post on first page mentioned casa needs to deposit 2k and can withdraw the next day.

I see.. no wonder you were so quite for the past few days..
I thought you were having fun in somewhere so I did not want to bother you

Thanks for the info..do you know these 2 promos valid until when..?


I think so..

I think so.. but it is still hard to say..

For Am bank, if deposit amount is RM 200K or above, can get additional 0.05% (priority banking), so it will be 3.8% for 6 months.
In overall, RHB is more easy and less hassle, so RHB at 3.8% for 6 months is the best...

According to UOB, we need minimum RM 2K to open a saving account so that the interest can deposit in
saving account every 6 months; UOB also said: we can withdraw RM 1990 from the saving account in next day.
But one member said that he just put RM 20 to open the saving account.

yygo already answered to your question on his post #47..

odd.......I asked when will the interest will be paid out, she said after the 13 months. No CASA required as this is a pure FD promo.

Oh.. really uh..
I got this info about RM 2K deposit for saving account from UOB Imbi branch...

Okay.. Bro..I just called to UOB call centre at 1-800-88 9833.
You are right and I am wrong.. very sorry..

This is the update:
UOB 3.95% for 13 months, pure FD

Post#2 has been updated...

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.

Captain, Post #2 has been updated again... Thanks for the update info

UOB 3.95% for 13 months, pure FD, no need to open CASA

No wonder I have been keeping the V6 thread open and the last posts were from you !

Captain, thanks for opening the new thread and updating all the info ! I think it is better to mention that new thread is open so we can all move over at the end of old thread. I only know it when I looked up and saw "Closed".

Will be going to RHB tomorrow and will ask them.

BR has RENTAS but only for corporate or company account user.

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.

Ha ha.. very funny..


I think the same way...

Okay.. Thanks..

T&C? CASA requirement?

Aiyo...!!!...
This FD promo is really "gao lat" this time...

Terms & Conditions:
https://www.sc.com/my/campaign/special-rate...ampaign-tnc.pdf

Thanks so much for this FD info..
I am updating this promo on Post #2 now...

This promotion will automatically end before 19 September 2014 if the Bank and/or Standard Chartered Saadiq Berhad received RM300mil in total deposits

Ya loh.. This promo is only available for 10 days only wor..

It seems to be a pure FD but just need to open a saving or current account
for the purpose to deposit the FD interest..

Oh..This is the best FD promo so far..

main point is RM300mil in total deposits which could be earlier than closing date on 19Sept

This is true.Ai...This is what I am worried about also..

If Standard & Chartered Bank can extend this promo, it can create a big FD war
for all banks.. And this is what we would like to see...

aww... but working during these day.. u guys take leave do fd? haha

Gud for depositors

Standard Chartered have no CASA and min is RM5000

Best deal in town

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.


Nice promo but I just closed my account last month! Too short duration also, just a week and a half.

If you want to place FD in RHB, Rentas to RHB saving account can be accepted as fresh fund
for RHB or for other banks or not..?

Yes can. The officer told me within 3 or 5 working days of transfering the funds to RHB bank savings/current account is still considered fresh funds. Can't remember.

This post has been edited by gchowyh: Sep 11 2014, 12:24 AM

Thanks for the info.. I will do the same way next time

You can always re-open your saving account, I do not think this is the problem.
The only problem is the promo duration is too short..

Thanks again..

Whether can manage to place this FD or not, this depends on FD maturity timing
and also the extra fund available for this FD ..

No probs. Problem also, no bullets at the moment till end of the month

Thank you Bro for the info. This is great, more banks are then pressured to offer higher FD promo rates to be competitive. Looks like we are heading back to 2011-2012 where we can get FD Promos offering 5%

No need to deposit x% into CASA, however, like all previous SCB FD Promo, need to have CASA because interest is deposited into it. So if you don't have a CASA with SCB, you need to open one.

Updated Post#1 and my Fixed Deposit Page.

guys, how much does it cost to open a saving account actually? for instance, i do not have any bank account with standard chartered, even i proceed to place rm5000 fd with them, and assuming it charge me rm20 open account, the return is like 3.6% instead of 4% as indicated.

Ha, I was in BR about 2 weeks ago to uplift my FD. I asked for RENTAS, but the counter girl said only for company account.

Was your RENTAS done recently ? Other than individual account, do you also have company account ? Need to query BR girl on this as I lose out 1 day to place my FD. Unless this again is another BR branch policy implementation issue.

Wow, 4.25% is very attractive ! I have BR FD maturing on 18th. If can do RENTAS than may be able to catch it on 18th. But again if the bank met the 300 mil target, this will be gone !

Clever of SC to "force" us to open CASA as MBSB allows us to credit the interest into our CASA in other banks.

Hopefully when i am back 300 Mil not accomplished yet

Otherwise, brilliant deal
