Hope the RM didnt side tracked u into buying some form of saving  product?

Nope, i said only want current acc and fd.

I know they want to sell my Unit Trust....lots of promotions actually, but i said no.

Got one is 5.5% 3 months for FD, but must buy selected UT, something like that.

Hello all,

I have a FD processed for the passed three years. I just found out I lost the certificate.
What do we need to do if we need to close the FD and take the money out?

Will bank impose some cost if certificate lost?
*
Some banks need you to make police report and then sign Indemnity form.

Some just need to sign Indemnity form.

You call bank to make sure.

Most of the time, attractive promotional FDs are based on auto-renewal basis (board rate) is it?  I tried asking for non-auto renewal and OCBC previously told me unable to as it is part of their T&C for that particular promo.  So meaning on the day of maturity have to personally go to bank & withdraw?  My half day leave gone leh.

Any promo that do not insist on auto-renewal back to board rates?
*
Yeap, that's why i will withdraw once matured, send to CA, go other bank ask for promotions.

Good to have few CA with few banks, you can keep rolling in and out. 3 is enough lao...i put max 6 months and make sure they all mature different months. That way you get % every month

Wow, go to your house, 1st class service....hahaha.

Guess you have to be lucky to get a good RM, not one that is aggressive pushing UT and Plans.

But bad side, this one RM knows all your things by hard.

What I meant earlier is I am going to share how one can earn "extra" several thousand Ringgit by placing a 3 month FD (versus all the current FD promotions listed in Post#1 and 2) with a certain bank. But in order to earn the extra RM1K in 3 months, the Principal sum needs to be minimum RM300K.
Agree, best to be liquid and put short term but high % rate. No more than 6 months for me.
