Yes.....I am not sifu, just a small potato here....this is what I did to withdraw....just in case policy change, last week I confirmed with RHB again and counter staff said yes.

The best is UOB, just need IC and can perform the withdrawal and renewal at any UOB branch...even if it is a joint account FD (with anyone to sign type)
*
Haha, anyone with new info is a "sifu". There are big potatoes in here ! tongue.gif

Surprised with your statement that "most banks moving to statement based". The one I have known is UOB which I always bring their monthly statement when I want to terminate FD. No need any FD "receipt" that was given by them. CB is another one and other foreign banks maybe (have not terminated FD with HSBC, SCB & OCBC yet, still running).

Maybe there are local banks that do the same that I am not aware of. Have received FD monthly statement from most banks but it does not mean they are statement based. As I have FD cert then I would bring the cert for the local banks whenever want to terminate the FD, other than e-FD's.

So RHB just bring ic will do as you mentioned, HL also (?). biggrin.gif

Most of the time it works that way however if bank such as Public bank specifies clearly that the future interest rate may be up or down pending on OPR then public bank has the right to change the rates in their step up promotions in future. Gen-X has cautioned this many times in various posts.

This is something new as in the past all banks locked in the rate even for 5 years tenure. Public bank came up with a new modified step up products to protect customer and of course, their own bank.
*
I think it is more like protecting themselves. It is at their discretion if they want to adjust it up for the customer. But the clause is to protect them than to "protect" the customer.

Though last year, they did adjust one of their step-up FD at 2nd 6th month from 4.08% to 4.28%. I have FD that was affected. To that I salute them !

Din know they will question source of fund for fd.
Never encounter b4.
Place fd at rhb, hlb, affin, ocbc and ambank.

But every time is issue cheque.. maybe that's the reason?
Hmm...

Depends on the amt. Can be cash or cheque. biggrin.gif

Last time no nd check ic, now even in person withdrawal also nd to check.

Although a bit troublesome, I'm agree with this extra verification step.

Cash only or Cheque also?

Deposited more than that into UOB FD, wasn't questioned about the source.

Was only questioned once at OCBC when i RENTAS from another bank, had to fill up form, just told them it was from another Bank.

So OCBC is stricter even when transfer funds from another bank ? Just like it Googled my name when I opened PB account there ! tongue.gif

at least 2 air bags and ABS..  sweat.gif

At least once a year medical check up !! notworthy.gif Before my last check up it was a 4 years gap. I should have done as you do !!

By the way, I have just received my SCB interest today..  smile.gif
In my SCB online banking saving account, SCB put "Value Date: 23/3/2015", so I think
SCB back date the FD interest in my saving account since 23/3/2015.

I think SCB is supposed to back date my FD interest since 19/3/2015 (FD was placed on
19 Sept 2014)..so it looks like SCB eats my 4 days interest..?  mad.gif

*
Mine was shown "VALUE DATE AS OF 19 MAR". But I think it did not mean anything as the interest was late and we are not paid add'l interest for those days the money was supposed to be in the SA (as on 19/3/2015).

Anyway, you should be glad you got your interest FINALLY !!

If this is true, then it is good for people who placed 18 months FD with SCB..

Externally, with the possibility of US going to raise interest rate for the first time since 2006 (?), hot money will go into US. Internally GST will push up prices and the inflation rate will go up. My guess is in June BNM may raise the interest rate.

I am with you if the OPR goes up .......................... rclxm9.gif

Unfortunately, I am in the same situation as you, at Damansara Uptown branch.
Gone are those days where customer is always right.

I have done similar to what you did but I got the excuse that it has past the date so they cannot revert the interest to 6 months. The only consolation is that they will deposit interest after 12 months & I said what choice do I have?

Since BCC got the interest, I am thinking of pursuing my case then!
Problem is I do not want to visit that bank as hard to find parking & have to wait long for their bad service.

You are their PB customer ? The RM did not promise you on the crediting of interest ? Can call the RM and quote the cases biggrin.gif you heard from here.

Today I went to UOB to put some FD. The officer asked me why I want to put FD when there are better investment tools. I told her that her colleague promoted to me before but she continue explaining. I was assaulted  biggrin.gif with one insurance product which I patiently listen to (but had no intention to buy  whistling.gif) then said I will think about it. She continue for quite a bit but I politely insisted that I will think about it.

Finally, I managed to get to my FD transaction but was told that my cheque was banked in last week so it is not fresh fund anymore. I showed by "surprised" face (although I was not surprise  brows.gif) and told that if that is the case, I want to withdraw all to put in other bank's FD. She then talked about better rates in UOB and I had to mention the rates in other banks. She paused and then told me that she will enquire whether I can get fresh fund rates. Asked to me sign the form first because most probably can. After a few seconds away from the counter (yes, a few seconds!!!) she came back and said I can get fresh fund rates.

So I left UOB happy, with 4.2% 1 year FD rate from my stale fund......  biggrin.gif

Not too sure why I could get the rate.... maybe it is because she is going to call me tomorrow to ask about my decision on the product.....  sweat.gif
*
Before I became their PB customer, the UOB counter girl also tried the same thing when I was placing FD. I politely and firmly said "no, thank you" and cut short the conversation. Proceed to place my FD. biggrin.gif

Another instance with UOB (before becoming their PB) is after I placed my FD, the counter girl alerted a leng lui officer who pulled a senior manager level man to talk to me about an investment product. They claimed that product has better returns than FD. They talked to me for 5 minutes and I still said no. That is probably because the FD I placed is slightly higher value and they are alerted to talk to me. They asked me to divert some amount to that product. Haha. biggrin.gif

Ah Goat Sir.. I placed my 2nd SCB FD on 3 April 2015 in Damansara Uptown, I was expecting
my 1st FD interest (placed on 19 Sept 2014) on 19 April 2015..

I think your interest is correct ---> value date 19/3/2015

I got my interest value date 23/3/2015 (suppose to be like yours, 19/3/2015), so SCB paid me
back RM 9.43
*
No lah, though shown "VALUE DATE AS OF 19 MAR", actual date received interest is on April 8th. Just received e-statement from them 2 days ago, no add'l interest given. So actual received interest late by 20 days. (Anyway subsequent FD's placed after 19/9/2014 has no such issue, just for those who are new to this issue.)

Unlike yours add'l RM9.43 given. They gave you the 4.25% (rate at that time) or SA interest rate ? hmm.gif

Let's wait until the 1st of May to see if any back date interest will credit to
saving account or not..?

I calculated and I guess RM 9.43 is the 9 days interest for my saving account..
What do you mean..?
*
I mean the RM9.43 is the add'l interest because they gave you late for the FD interest due on 19/3 ?

Or it is a separate interest for money in the JustOne SA ? hmm.gif

I received my FD interest correctly based on 6 month interest.

I guess this RM 9.43 is the back date 9 days SA interest for the FD interest in between
23 March to 31 March. (But I placed my FD on 19 Sept 2014)

My Value Date shown on my SCB Online Banking is 23/3/2015, so I guess this RM 9.43 interest
is 9 days saving account interest (1%).

I remember my Service Manager promised me to chase for the SA interest..

Wow, the FD interest or the FD must be a very high amount to earn RM9.43 over 9 days ! brows.gif notworthy.gif
