Hi there,

When they say fresh fund, can I use RM10k from Bank A to put into FD Bank B but the next day, transfer RM10k from Bank B to Bank A?

I'm trying to put a placement of RM10,000 into Alliance's e-FD. Yesterday I transferred from Alliance to Maybank. And then today , I transferred from Maybank (another account number) back to Alliance. However, this is not recognised as fresh fund. Does anyone know how they calculate fresh fund?

Fresh fund methods and ways to get around it had been discussed at length in this thread previously.
For your case, If you don't have checking a/c, withdraw by banker's chq from MBB then bring the chq to Alliance. BTW, MBB BC is not cheap. You need to weight the transfer cost against the RM10k interest earned to see if it is worth it or not.
Add on.
Ops ! just noted it's eFD, banker's chq may not be applicable in this case.

Yup aware of the banker's cheque etc but no time to go bank la that's why trying out this Alliance eFD.

And after the 3 months you want the hassle go close the Advance Account? FYI, HSBC do not offer FD Promo to existing customers unless you upgrade your status (e.g. to Premier) and get to enjoy another 3 months but after than no more FD Promo for you.
Alliance eFD super artificial intelligent system can read your mind and intend and knows it is not fresh fund, hahaha. Did you like add RM100 or exact same amount in and out. I am assuming you transferred the money online to MBB and then online back to Alliance.

Yea exactly same amount cause RM10k max for IBG I thought I could be smarter so I transfered from MBB Account A to MBB Account B before transferring it back to Alliance bank. Hahaha.

1.IBG in another RM10k, do eFD. Then only IBG out.
2. IBG out to some other bank, withdraw & CDM in RM10k.
Can Work??Haha

Worked for my first deposit but no for my second deposit.

Anyway found out that the definition of 'fresh fund' is not as straight forward.
Calculation as below.

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.
