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.

now you got my attention, so whats the catch?

how often interest are paid, are they roll over?

what is the penalty structure if withdraw before maturity?

Depend on what you do with it, RHB deal can go up to 4.14%

RHB 15m step up - 4.14%

Normal standard calculation

((3.48/1.05) + 3.68 + 3.88 + 4.08 + 5.38))/5 = 4.067%

like put the 5% lockup in junior saver?

Just discovered RHB allows to withdraw FD in all branches nationwide.

But do not understand why sometimes when withdraw FD, bank will ask where am I going to bring the money to?
Is it a Bank Negara requirement?

Guys, ING just boldly announced a FD promo with whopping 9.25% p.a. with zero penalty on per-closure, anyone could uncover the catches?

http://www.ivbl.co.in/campaigns/2014/produ...ef=adsizzler-94

either they are going to comb all the FD customers markets, or backfire big time if the catch is unfair.

btw, this is their email newsletter http://screenshooter.net/100257131/sidxksr

Edit: Just realized the mailer from India, anyone get it too? wonder why so high FD there.

Just wanted to spread out my FD in different banks.

Actually FD return is not that good. I was quiet for a while because I invested into property last year and I get 20% to 100% return.

do you mean 20% to 100% property flipping return EXCLUDING the followings:

bank interest (usually already 50% of the gross gain)
property maintenance fees
legal fees
stamping fees
Renovation & Repairs
cukai tanah
cukai pintu
property gain tax
agent fee (if rented)
tenant quit rent
GST
etc

Have RHB 15 mth step-up FD maturing. After some calculation, found worth it to terminate it and move to Affin 2 yrs 4.38% or AmBank 3 yrs 4.5%. That is the beauty of the step-up FD with no penalty on termination upon maturity. RHB step up rate changes every 3 mths. Cherroy has rightly pointed this out some time ago. That we can move the FD out if there is better rate elsewhere with no penalty.  biggrin.gif  rclxms.gif

care to share how did you do the calculation?

Depends on how you look at it. A quick way to decide is RHB step up effective rate is about 4.06%. So comparing with 4.38% & 4.5% rate, thenĀ  you decide. But of course for longer terms. Also if the extra amt "earned" is worth the effort. biggrin.gif

Given the RHB each quarter at 3.48% 3.68% 3.88% 4.08% 5.38% for whole 15 months,

Let's say you already collected your 3.48% interest after 3 months, your remaining 12 months (3.68% 3.88% 4.08% 5.38%) at RHB would yield an average of 4.26% isn't it?

So let's say you switch to 4.5% (3 years), at RM100k, your extra interest would be (4.5-4.26)%*100k=RM240 extra?
