Yes, PBB will print out the FD cert and you have to collect it from the branch. But once I collected the certs about 2 months later as I was overseas.  biggrin.gif

Most banks already moved to statement based. For PBB, cert replacement is RM10. mad.gif

Why online rate is always so suckish compared to over
The counter one ??

Online best online rate i ever seen is from Mach hong leong bank..

Over the counter is better is because the bank want to talk to you on other investment opportunity whiich they will say is better than FD.

So sifu, for the 2 banks, just need ic can withdraw FD already ? No need the FD cert ?  hmm.gif

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)

It doesn't matter whether OPR will up or down as long as Investors 'Lock-In' d int rate during promotion
*
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.

You mean the maximum cash deposit allowed for placing FD is RM 30K in UOB..?

Last time I deposited cash RM 90K to HSBC for FD, HSBC asked me the source of
this cash, then I showed them the SCB cash withdrawal slip.
If a person pass away without a will, then don't make condolence advertisement in newspaper.
Banks won't know when a person is dead, so can just wait for the FD to become mature (provided the FD is joint name with either one to sign), then withdraw quietly.
The best way is to prepare a will, we will never know what will happen to us tomorrow... sad.gif
*
You can deposit any cash amount but for UOB case, once above 30k has to inform the source of fund.

Oh.. I think it depends on how does a person dies.

Let's say if a robber dies under the police gun fire, then this case will need a police report
& doctor anatomy report for the Births & Deaths Registration department to issue a death certificate.

If a person dies in a hospital because of sickness, then the doctor will write a report
for the Births & Deaths RegistrationBirths & Deaths Registration department to issue a death certificate.

No, banks do not have any online network to link to the police department yet..
Oh Captain.. since the release of your latest Fiction Novel ebook, then banks will act faster to request to link to the Births & Deaths Registration department..  biggrin.gif
*
Even a person passed away at home, have to call the ambulance to have the medical officer certified passed away. Make a police report and police will drop by to check and confirmed there is no foul play like bruises or cut on the body. After all these then only can go and get the death cert.

Bank does not need to have on line with police on checking a person is alive or not. The record is with the Jabatan Pengdaftaran Negara. In future bank will link up with JPN. 5 years FD is a long time and nobody will know the policy change

there has been speculation bnm will cut rates soon, part reason for weak rm.

this looks like squashed for now, unlikely rate cut on may 7, rm strengthened.

that was march. post apr gst, we hv yet to see...

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.

Thanks for your reply.

Scenario 1:
Anyone has experience before? If I cash out, do I need to wait 1 day or 1 month to join the campaign? Or depend luck?

*
My personal experience
UOB
Took out as cash and went for lunch. My friend said why dont you place it back and may be bank will consider fresh fund. Tried and counter staff took it as fresh. Different counter staff

Took out as cash and add on some cash and the counter staff took it as fresh. My original intention was to place it with other bank.

Public
Guess I was lucky, told the counter staff, I want to place a FD with existing fund (about 1 month old), she checked with the officer who said okay and considered it as fresh fund.

Ocbc has a clear policy on fresh fund definition but cant remember is it a week or ?

Yup that is what I meant. Say move to affin 4.38.  If I am not mistaken the ocbc was 3.9% right?

Bag/air filter definitely worth more than the interest given.

By moving to say affin or uob,  one can get the best world. Bag/air filter + high interest. 

Am I right here? Correct me if I am wrong

My Ocbc FD mature today. Saw on post 2, by BCC he mentioned 12 months 4.2%, valid till 31 July. Any change on the promotion period?

Whatsapp my RM and she said she is on block leave and asked me to call bank tomorrow.

Does this OCBC 4.2% for 12 months is just pure FD or involve CASA. Try to call their hotline but cannot get the answer required. They are like blur blur....
*
No CASA. Straight FD Islamic account. I just placed my FD today.

rentas is RM5.30. Counter staff said after 12 noon, if IBG the fund will only available the next day. Can anyone verify this? Thank you

Thanks for speedy rely.

For IBG, it is within the same day even it is after 12 noon.
I have overlooked another Ocbc FD mature today. The bank staff did not remind me yesterday. Got to go again.

The IBG schedule was revised late last year.  I also learned about it from one forummer here.  smile.gif

today IBG instead of Rentas...save some money, tq.

Ocbc has the following offer and seems nobody reported this, or i miss out?

first 6 months 4%, second 6 months 4.4%. effective is slightly more than 4.2% because, the first 6 months interest is added on to the principal.

say principal is P,
after 6 months, it is P plus 6 months interest roll over with 4.4% interest
