Ah Sir..I just called to BR branch regarding the issue of lowering 0.10% in my 5 years FD.

BR admitted that effective this month since after changed to Berjangka from Mubeen, BR has adjusted and lowered
my FD rate by 0.10% in their system, and for somehow they cannot do anything to adjust back my original FD
rate in their system...  mad.gif

They promised to do either one of these methods to rectify:

A. (Solution 1) Pay the difference each month to my saving account manually,
OR
B. (Solution 2) Omit the Solution 1, pay the difference in one lump sum when the FD is matured, which will be 2017.

I also asked for an official letter to prove that my 5 years FD is 4.xx% (original rate), but not the lowered rate shown
in BR system. BR officer said would call to HQ and let me know later....  sweat.gif

I am with you, your pain ................. sad.gif

So far I did not have big issues with BR, except cannot do Rentas, no free Rentas like Big Magician. shakehead.gif

But happy on the monthly interest, gifts, high tea etc. biggrin.gif

On a side note, did any SCB PB customers here in the Klang Valley got invited for dinner tomorrow at Oriental Pavilion for the launch of PruAspire by the director of Prudential?  brows.gif  drool.gif
Finally seeing an actual benefit of becoming a PB customer tongue.gif

Ya, PB does comes with privileges. rclxms.gif

But also privilege to be chased by RM after attending the dinner: "Are u interested in this UT by xxxx" ........ tongue.gif

SCB recently arranged a wine and food tasting in Penang. I missed it. But the RM called last week asking me to attend a talk in their office this week.

Last time CB used to give free Cinema tickets. They called me to attend a dinner tomorrow for a presentation on investment. I passed on it. biggrin.gif
But not many of us here are with CB. sad.gif

MBSB is very steady, MBSB is still offering 4.7% for 5 years, regardless of the volatile FD market.. sweat.gif

Is this always been the rate for 5 years ? No expiry date ?

Unless interest rates are rising, 5 years rate of 4.7% is good. Putting some eggs there is a good idea. rclxms.gif

This is true also.

But let's say if every year we place 5 years FD, then in 5 years later,
every year we will get one matured FD.

*
Interesting idea ! Looking back, time flies. If I have placed some of my FD at 5 years and getting a higher FD rate, I would have got more interest out of there. Note I said SOME, not all FD's. biggrin.gif

For those placing Affin Bank 4.33% FD for 15 Months, did you manage to get a free gift for it?

I also did not get any. What gift, umbrella ? hmm.gif

QUOTE(cherroy @ Jun 9 2015, 12:33 AM)
So at the moment, locking down higher FD rate at longer term seems more a wiser choice. (if there is no major event or change issue)
*
Few months back I lock down some 3 years FD in AmBank at 4.5%. Now looking at 5 years. But may have to look hard, looks like 2 choice which are not favorites here ............................ sad.gif

Just realized that u guys have flurry of discussion on interest/OPR last nite !

OPR going up is good for me ! But I am also looking at possibility of it going down by putting some FD at 3 years and looking at 5 years. biggrin.gif

Good idea about putting FD at 5 years. notworthy.gif

I have started 3 years FD then now looking at 5 years. But it is a spread of 1 mth, 6 mth, 1 year, 3 years and 5 years FD. All for diff. needs. rclxms.gif biggrin.gif

Property bubble can happens when property is supply more than demand, and coupled with a higher loan rate...,
and don't forget most speculators have used up their monies in buying properties..

Especially the Ringgit value is depreciating recently, this may gave a pressure to Bank Negara to
consider to revise OPR, so if the OPR raise again this time, property market will die for sure...  biggrin.gif
