UOB used to charge me RM5.15 for a banker;'s cheque, now not sure how much. But some lucky people in Penang were not charge previously with UOB.

Went to AmBank branch at PJ to put some more 3yr 4.5% FD... Alas, it was just ended 2 days back! 
My fault for not realizing the end date. Lucky the queue was fast.
Preferred AmBank for its half yearly interest and locking in for longer term as the OPR outlook is not going up...

No choice to resort back to SCB 15mth 4.5% FD. Waited for > 1hr to be served.  They say "Sorry sir, today holidays, more people!"
When served... another drama starts... "Sir, HQ not working today, BNM not open today, can't process your cheque to place FD!"   

I could only pre-signed the FD form, the branch will process my FD only on Wednesday.
I requested and they will ask HQ approval on : Backdate FD to start from today; split to multiple certs and uplift to JOC upon maturity.
They will then send me the FD certs. JOC opened without deposits.

Lucky it is my personal cheque and not banker's cheque... I will transfer the money back to my SA to get 2 days interest@2.45% first. 
If HQ agree to start my FD from today, I untung 2 days interest. Haha. 

So UOB ended the 4.2% since 31/1 (50k min) ? 

Looks like they are the same as MBB charging add'l 50 cents for banker's cheque. They used to charge RM0.15 in Penang while some has reported RM2.15 last year. 

See below under banker's cheque, Captain's blog:

You are correct, banks are charging 50 sen service fee for every cheque issued. That was the new BNM ruling personal and banker cheque.

Citi bank charges RM2 + 50 sen + 15 sen = RM 2.65 for a banker cheque

OCBC still ongoing??  Didnt stop on end-Jan?

Breakdown of UOB charges:
Service charge RM2
Stamp Duty RM0.15
Cheque Processing Fee RM0.50

Total RM2.65
thats what I heard, will try my luck tmr

UOB charges seems to be different for diff location. Captain has mentioned this I think 2 years ago also. In Penang, have been charged RM0.15 up to last year. I was told if FD to banker's cheque will be RM0.15 only. So far this year no redemption yet. So not sure will be RM0.65 or not. 

The add'l RM0.50 should be cheque processing fee charged starting Jan 2015.

i think banks tend to have differential treatment for clients with higher net worth..ordinary client like me will not get special rate

You mean SCB or in general ?
