Wah... you placed MBSB 5yr 4.7% FD quietly ah...  thumbup.gif

Have you gotten hamper from MBSB during Chinese New Year?
Or attend MBSB's high tea or any functions?
For me, no.  I have never received hamper nor received any invitation to MBSB high tea or functions.

If comparing to BR, BR is more generous in this area.
Please take into account of the loss of processing fee and conversion rate.
Yes, Ah Sir, I have been MBSB customer for many years.
Yes, I still have FD in MBSB...so far OK..  thumbup.gif

Just want to ask mbsb pay interest monthly/semi annually for the 5 years FD? Also if yes, money automatically added to principle?

MBSB 5 years FD pays interest semi annually.

No,  FD interest from semi annually will NOT add to principle automatically.

We have 3 options to collect the FD interest:
(1) auto credit to MBSB saving account
(2) MBSB will credit/IBG/TT to any of our bank saving account as we instructed
(3) go to MBSB to collect banker's check

So will the effective rates be higher than 4.7%? Too lazy to count. tongue.gif

d), and one low quality trolley bag.
No, I do not think so.
Maybe slightly lower than 4.7%.

Let's say my interest is paid on Monday, but Monday is a holiday, so I have to go to collect the check on Tuesday,
but MBSB will not pay me 1 day extra interest for Monday holiday.  sad.gif
I did not do a calculation, but I guess MBSB pays interest based on straight 5 years basis, regardless of the holidays.

You can always ask them to IBG into your chosen account right? Instead of using cheque. Save time, and petrol.

You can use OCBC eSavers (4% until 31/12/2015) with a deposit of RM50/month. When January comes, look for another FD as after December, the rate will fall to 3.05% (requires deposit of RM1k/month)

Previously my company used IQ account , the lenglui RM ask us whether want open or not , I kee this account almost 2years...

To entitle 3% , min monthly got to save at least RM50 , if above RM1000 , interest higher , 3.5% if im not mistaken , no withdrawal allowed in case happen , 0.5% only.use the account to transfer to FD account , UT , it will still remain 3% entitle for me , but minimum balance RM500 in average every month or else , penalty of RM5 / month occur.

Well looks like not eligible for ordinary folks like me. Was thinking of getting 3% for SA. By the way, the no withdrawal or else interest drop to 0.5% is a big no-no for me not to mention the need to maintain a min amount RM500.

Looks like I will still stick to my Ambank Truesavers. 2.8%. No minimum amount require and 3 withdrawal/IBG limit/month. Combine it with Maybank Islamic eFD in the event not going to use the money for that month to get 3.25%. But 3.5% if no withdrawal is a very good deal. No 1 month eFD is able to give 3.5%.

With the depreciation of MYR against USD, will BNM announce hike in OPR on 11/9 to mitigate the impact which is gud for depositors?
*
Highly doubt so. BNM need to stimulate the economy. By increasing interest rate, economy will slow down. Our regional neighbours already decrease rate. China devalue their money. Malaysia will have to follow.

Banks are fighting to secure liquidity in malaysia.

Big fund are dumping myr to convert to usd in huge chunks. So banks are racing to keep liquidity afloat by growing their fd rates gradually.. sooner or later.. opr need to grow up in order to help this.. if not.. bank margin will be squeezed tighter.

Why squeeze tighter.

Cost of fund increase. Lending rate no increase, or increase sikit... means profit rate smaller. So need to resort to VSS, rationalization of branches, firing head count..

U somemore with basel III, bank need to have certain threshold of liquidity.. and it keeps on increasing..

Unless opr go up n make the money flow back to malaysia, those myr that is flowing out like water will resort in bank suffering, liquidity issue will then resort to?
Resort to more panic lo.. then more people dump n dump n cabut faster lor..

Now bank chop headcount... also make more people no job..

Ai am favorable on a opr increase
*
If opr increase, more people default their loan (90+% loan are household debts) . That one also bad. China decrease their yuan. Regional neighbours also devalue their currency. If you increase, you die faster.

Not sure whether anyone share tis b4
Apparently AmBank offer 'Retention Rate' for existing clients whose FD is due for renewal subject to:-
Min sum upon maturity (a) : RM10k n above
Fresh funds (b) : min 20% of mature sum (incl int)
Final sum for new placement : (a) + (b)
FD rate : 3.90% for 6 mths or 4.00% for 12 mths

Geez. Rather play the ball and bring back "new funds" than add additional 20% for the FD.

Not easy for people with FD all over the place to cough up 20% upfront. Better stick to "pass the ball" lose few rm due to petrol. Rather than dig out 20% or go for board rates (cause cannot afford the 20%).
