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.

Few noob question :

1. What is the difference between banker's cheque and normal cheque?
2. How long does it takes to clear a banker cheque? (same day or extra few more days)?
3. If someone hold you at knife point and you have a banker's cheque, can they take your money? (I heard like banker's cheque is like blank cheque like that. Not sure true oe not)

Sorry for asking noob questions
*
Normal cheque: Personal cheque issued by the current account holder

Banker's cheque: Bank is issuing the the cheque instead

Technically there's no difference for the cheque clearance time.

How about security wise? (is it like a blank check - so if anyone hold you at knife point,  that can write how much they want to withdraw from your account ) 

True or not? The above

How can it be a blank cheque? The bank is not stupid.

When you want the bank to issue you a banker's cheque (sell to you in other words), you need to state the amount. You need to pay for the amount first.

It's just like a normal cheque but the issuer is just the bank itself.

What happened if somebody robbed your personal cheque issued to you under your name?

Same answer, pal!

oooo. OK thanks. cause some family memebers telling me don't use banker's cheque. Very dangerous. If they robbed you of the cheque, they can empty your account. They told us to use cash. Get people to follow you when withdrawing FD in cash so no chance people will rob you of your cash

All this while my FD, all I used cash.  tongue.gif

Now I know that is not true. Thanks

If shit does happen, you can always call the bank to stop the cheque.

Hopefully the coming BNM meeting, OPR increase and further increase of FD rate !  drool.gif  rclxms.gif

Bear in mind that if OPR increases, borrowing cost also increases. Unless you don't have any loan on hand or not planning for any loan in the nearest future.

guys, got some questions about UOB's Pure FD for 12 Months - 4.05% p.a.

there's no cert given, right? it's statement-based account?

1) if i'm transferring fund from Maybank (banker's cheque) and enrol UOB's FD, what will I get as proof of deposit? how do i check this account? do i need to enrol online banking?

2) how do i IBG the fund from Maybank to UOB? since i dont have any accounts with UOB at all, how does UOB process the fund? can UOB do a reverse-IBG from Maybank?

for example: I go to UOB, tell them i want to enrol the FD but IBG the fund from Maybank. Can UOB do that? reason i'm asking this is to save my time travelling between banks  biggrin.gif

2) upon maturity, can i request UOB to IBG the fund back to Maybank?

thanks  blush.gif

If you don't have to saving account with UOB, you have to do it over the counter. However, not sure you'll be entitled to the promo.

If you don't have a saving account with UOB, you cannot IBG from Maybank. Therefore, you have to open a saving account with UOB.

Upon maturity, you have to do the work yourself. The bank won't do it for unless you issue a SI but SI may incur charges.

For fresh fund, can we transfer from other bank to our account?
Or we need to take cash / banker chq / draft ?

Previously, OCBC advised me to deposit with cash / bank draft to eligible for the promotion.
The funds cannot from your existing account (OCBC) or 3rd party account (same bank) transfer to your account. Weird.
*
Fresh fund means that cash is not within the same bank under your name. It must come from outside being either cash or fund from other banks.

For fresh fund purpose, would bank accept if the cheque is under someone else's name? Or must the cheque name and fd account holder name be the same?
*
Of course, the name must be same. Otherwise, how to "cash" the cheque to your FD account which is under your name?

What I meant was the cheque is not issued by myself, but maybe a friend.

As long as the name of the cheque is you, doesn't matter who is the issuer. The issuer could be a bank in the case of banker's cheque.

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.
