Pure FD offer? Or need to become premier banker?

Pure fd. But need to open an account with them. After matured, remember to close account or else kena charge.

Best to put rm30k to maximise returns as one can only open that account once.

maintain account with hsbc will kena charge? why ah?  shocking.gif

Cause the account with them is not normal account but some kind of account like priority banking account which you need to maintain a certain amount. Forgot how much. So by withdrawing the FD upon maturity, your limit decrease. Hence they charge you.

Then how to apply for this? I have some FD maturing which I want to put. Was thinking about RHB 3.85% until you said CIMB 4%. Just tell the counter you want to put FD at 4% for 3 months? What if they don't know about thhis promo?

Hi all sifu,
I have question on fixed deposits. Should I place in FD 1k every month on a 2 months period FD or accumulate them up to 5k and put for a longer period? Which method would maximize my FD earning? Thanks.
*
If you have no money yet, recommend you open ambank Truesavers account first. Any amount of money will gain you 2.8% interest. So once you have rm1k + interest from Truesavers, you can put 1 month efd using ambank or bsn. Upon maturity, uplift, add in more money + interest gained from that one month efd + interest from Truesavers, that rm1k into a new 1 month efd. By 5 months, you might have more >rm5k if you add in rm1k/month.

You can also go for cimb 3 months promo. Minimum rm1k. 4%

Any recommendation for 3 months FD with RM10K placement fund?

The Maybank and CIMB 4.15% and 4% respectively seems good but it slightly longer than what I wanted.

Where is there maybank 4.15?

QUOTE(imationyj @ Sep 8 2015, 10:48 AM)
Thanks for the fast reply. The AmBank TrueSavers's interest is calculated and will be credited every year? If I registered the account online, the card will be sent to my home? For the CIMB 3 months promo, could you send me the links to that promo? I can't seems to find it. Thanks.
*
Interest credited every month. biggrin.gif rclxms.gif But keep in mind, Truesavers allow you to transfer/withdraw 3x/month. > 3x, you pay RM5+ for each transaction. Better go bank and open. Open online takes I think 1 week. After that need to go bank and collect card. They won't send to you. Also need to scan fingerprint.
When you open a truesavers, you get 2 account. Truetransect (free unlimited IBG, no interest) and truesavers (max transfer/withdraw 3x/month which include transfer to truetransect). Make sure to put money into truesavers NOT truetransect. ONLY use truetransect for IBG.

As what the forumer said, cimb promo is not official. No pic/link. HAve to ask counter staff. If they ask how you know, just say fried told you got such promo.

What I meant was maybank 3 months FD at 4.15%. Not the one posted. That one is 10 months. If got 4.15% for 3 months, I am going to put at maybank.

Wow. That's really a good deal with 2.8% interest credited every month. thumbup.gif Thanks for the info!  smile.gif  Just not sure if I really could save 1k per month now haha doh.gif
*
Is not 2.8% every month but keep in mind 2.8% p.a so your money will be given interest by the following calculations:

RMxxx X 0.028 (interest) X (total no of days inside the account / 365 days)

Can save RM1k/month. Minimum also RM500. This money can be added into Ambank TS to get interest. That's the beauty of ambank TS. Any ammount can get interest. Don't drink starbucks, chatime. Refrain from going to cinema Eat at economy rice stall, don't go dining at fancy restaurant, be an internet leech (if got free wifi, use it) Buy RM5-10 bundle clothes/3 years, don't buy something because it looks cool/nice/eye catching. Shop online like from ebay. Although USD at all time high, is still cheaper than buy from malaysia most of the time. If you use public transport, buy monthly/yearly passes. If you drive, learn how to maximise your fuel (don't use aircon at housing estate, early in the morning, pump petrol at night, don't be a speed demon) Lastly use cashback credit card (PAY ONTIME or else you will kena charge - check out the credit card thread. Read carefully how each card operate. If you don't read nicely, you will not earn a single sen of CB)

That's my saving tips for you. Hope it helps. You can't get something by not giving up something in return. In this case, you are giving up to look cool/trendy to get more money.

Don't think 3 months got so good rate. Hence I'm asking which is the best rate for 3 months and which bank

Those I mention is 10/12 months which I can't commit so long.

Well wil-i-am said that CIMB have 3 months FD at rate of 4%. Only is unofficial promo. No links/pic. Need to ask counter staff.

Thanks for the explanation on how it's calculated.  thumbup.gif  and yes, I also trying to do those tips you mentioned. Trying to get a CB CC currently, but I just started work for 2 months so not sure can get one or not, since many needs 3 months payslip  doh.gif  Tried to save before I spend(transfer a portion of money to other bank account for savings after get salary) to avoid overspent  sweat.gif Thanks for the tips and explanation again!  notworthy.gif

Forget about CIMB CC. Not worth it. Better use HLB WISE and Maybank Ikhwan. Also make full use of the trick CC + eFD + M2S/Ambank TS trick to get maximum money from your CC.

Can't afford HLB Wise since need to swipe 10 times X RM50 each swipe and with non-waivable annual fees. sweat.gif  Seems only way is use Maybank Ikhwan. Gotta wait till next month only can apply since it needs at least 3 months payslip to apply.
*
The swipe can be used for Petrol/Groceries (depending which one you use more) use maybank ikhwan as backup. For Petrol. You can pump rm50 repeatedly. For groceries, just buy 10 x rm50 voucher and use that voucher for shopping. For utilities, you can split payment via uob payonline. Help your family to pay their bills and split the payment. Say TNB rm100, uob payonline and split payment to rm50 x2

Wow. Didn't know that we could buy the shopping voucher. laugh.gif Most supermarket have that kind of service? Btw, for insurance standing instructions, it counts as a swipe too?
*
Yes. Tesco, giant, Aeon, all have. You even topup TnG at places that count as petrol/Groceries, hence maximising your cash back.

Yes for insurance and SI. However insurance is not counted into the 3 categories. Hence no cashback.

Thanks for your valuable feedback on trusavers. I opened the account last month. Still havent place any money in it coz I was thinking of Ocbc esaver which gives 4% interest.
*
Keep in mind that 4% is promo until 31/12. You need to deposit RM50/month to get 4%. After dec, it will go back to 3.05%. To get that 3.05%, you need to deposit min RM1k/month. Once you withdraw, the interest for that month drops to 0.5%

After Dec,
QUOTE
- No deposit will only give you 2.55%
- Deposit of <RM50/month give you interest of 2.55%
- Deposit of >RM1000/month give you interest of 3.05%
- But upon and withdrawal, your hard work of deposit becomes 0.5%

So complicated. Not worth la. In my own opinion. rclxub.gif

For 3.05%, better I go for 1 month eFD at 3.15% or 3.25%.

This is my own opinion.
