My FD due at BR on 16 Nov (Sunday) and I withdrew on 17 Nov. Asked about the 1 day interest and the bank staff said no extra interest. I thought there is as per BNM rule. Or has BNM changed the rule now?

If it is a few cents or dollars, I don't mind. But this is more than that which I do mind.

Not all branch have the same rules. Usually when placing at banks, efficient counter officers will adjust to next working day. Thats why its a good practice to check maturity day before depositing and also to check maturity amount. Now after maturity, banks dont adjust what can be done ?

I think the case is due to auto renewal. For the initial depositing, BR system will adjust to next working day for maturity. But after that, on auto renew, it will just go to exactly 1 year later (for yearly renewal). I kena once but as I just asked for new FD cert, so no loss (mature on Sat).  smile.gif

@bone, i'll bet the processing officers dun get any incentive & probably cursing why so much work suddenly  biggrin.gif

@gsc, if daily compounded eff rate will be 4.185% for the 1 year matrity

@mgm, the 410 is ocbc cost of funds (cheap la). RP probly barter with medklinn hehe discounted price 389 (& they surely still make profit) & probly get comm for loans/othe bank prods pushed

@plumber & magika, my branch tell me they no need manual intervention one wor - system clever one  tongue.gif  plumber, could it be your deposit was >12 mths, maybe 24 mths, in which case the system may not have been implemented yet when you deposited? hehe if 5 bucks, i'll also sakit hati cos can have chap fan oredi

edit - @goat, ooooh that means BR system only half clever la. thx for warning  rclxms.gif

If my memory is OK, I thought similar thing happened to me at BR before. When I raised this, the officer just gave me the 1 day interest, cash.

Maybe not all the officers are up to date on this thing.

Yes, this FD has been auto renewed for 1 additional year. Maybe that is why no auto weekend date correction.

Hope to get "my money" soon. Ha. Will check with them on Monday, give the lady some time to check higher up.

Just a quick update on my 16 Nov FD which BR did not pay the 1 day interest when I withdrew on 17 Nov (Monday). The first 2 visits over 3 weeks, the officer said she needed to get the input via email from HQ. I was getting annoyed with the delay, I said I would like to speak to the branch manager and if the decision is either no or hanging in the air, I would then inform BNM.

Went there this morning. A different officer was there. Good news is they have now credited the 1 day interest into my saving account recently. FINALLY, after 3 visits.

Wish all the banks are up to speed on BNM regulation on this issue.

Cheerio.
