let‘s say I already have cimb saving account 100k, i want to place that sacing 100k into CIMB FD with promotion rate, then cannot??
or I place 99k from saving account to FD + top up1k cash, can it be considered as fresh fund
*
Nope. Unless your rm100k is ibg from another bank then yes. That one also 3 days only. More than 3 days not fresh anymore. Better check with the bank. Some banks don't count ibg money as fresh money.

To make sure is fresh. Ibg from cimb to bank A. Then go bank A and withdraw using banker's cheque and bring back to cimb. Then this is considered fresh. They will accept.

Hi Boss, Many thanks for your explanation. notworthy.gif

Whatever you do, DO NOT go for board rates unless no choice. Go for promo rates FD. Why do you want to let the bank earn that extra 1% (assuming board rate is 3% and promo rate is 4%) for the same duration (say one year)?

Yes, some people talking about possible rate hike, good for FD guys here !  rclxms.gif

Ya lo. Lots of stalkers with photographic memory. sad.gif

BNM need to raise the rates substantially. Look at Russia. Last year they raise their interest rates so much but still no effect. If a big country such as Russia have no effect, what more malaysia.

Same thing will happen in malaysia. Malaysia's issue is not about interest. Is about "trust deficit". tongue.gif

Just a quick opinion of mine.

RM2k x 3.15% pa /12 = RM5.25 per month (eFD from your current bank account)
RM2k x 3.9% pa /12 = RM6.50 per month (over counter)

Personally, the difference in actual amount is too little to trouble yourself over the counter. Your time alone is worth more than the RM1.25 cents a month (or RM3.75 over 3 months). While I understand it varies individually, only go to counters when the difference in amount is more valuable than the time spent, or/and petrol and parking spent.

Example
RM10k x 3.15% pa/12 = RM26.25 pm
RM10k x 3.90% pa/12 = RM32.50 pm

Over 3 months, RM18.75 ... at least this covers your time (to some, RM19 isn't even worth the trouble), assuming you just need to walk there. Remember, it's not just once that you need to go over. You need to go to counter as well to uplift. That will be 2 visits just to make that difference is amount compared to eFD. Maybank 3 months eFD is 3.20%. The difference will be even lesser since I'm only using 3.15% for calculation.

Remember, we're all in this thread to make sure our money works for us, with as minimal effort as possible. If cost>interest gained = no good ROI. Unless the bank is just within walking distance of your office, then I think it wasn't a good idea to go OTC.
*
Just in case you didn't know, Maybank offers Islamic eFD at 3.25% for 1 month. Minimum RM5k. Quite good considering that other banks board rates for 1 month eFD is <=3.15%

If I'm not mistaken, the 3.25% rate is for OTC placement, not eFD.

Do correct me if my memory fails me...

eFD can. Tried last month, interest is 3.25% min rm5k.

QUOTE(wjchay @ Sep 29 2015, 11:26 AM)
I can't find 3.25% IFD via eFD.

Anyway, I setup a i-Yippie account, so can park (maybank2U transfer) up to 50k to get 3.25%, calculated daily i think.

Question: How many i-Yippies can i create with the same branch or other branches?
*
Yes, they won't tell you the interest before putting. You can check Maybank's Islamic fd before putting. I got 3.25% last month. Always refer to their Islamic FD page before putting as they might change quietly.

I am guessing you can open one yippee account /kid that you have.

How do you apply via eFD?

I logged in to Maybank2u site, clicked into the "Apply online" section & there are only 4 online accounts that I can choose from: Maybank2u Premier, 2 x M2U Savers & Unit Trust. None showing Islamic eFD at 3.25% for 1 month.

Where can I find the option to apply for it yea?
*
Log in. Don't click anyway. I think there's something call FD. DO not apply for other FD. The only maybank FD giving 3.25% is Islamic FD. The rest will give 3.15%

hi everyone,

went to cimb branch today ask for special FD rate. that person say because i'm not preferred customer and not payroll account, she can only provide me following choice:

1) 1 year with min RM10k for 3.8%
2) convert to payroll account, with min RM10k FD for 3.8% for 6 months.

any advise from the above 2 choices?
is this worth?
*newbie here*

Tell her, you keep your rates, I keep my money. Other banks are offering 4.2% for 1 year. Why want to give the bank free 0.4% of the interest you are suppose to earn? Better give it to me. tongue.gif

No meh? The one where people commented HLB so generous. (The one with the pic) Don't know which page. Just recalling from memory.

Gen-X actually I mentioned your blog nonsense is because your GTR post is old news. Anyone who have been following your blog (read your starting post until the latest) knows about GTR before GTR came into existence. I learned stuff I never know was possible from your blog.

The T&C below mentioned that campaign rate subject to OPR change. bbgoat bro mentioned about monthly interest credit, is that mean the interest rate can change anytime if OPR changes.

Still, if this promo is true for all customer, damn good deal weyyy... Happened that I got some matured FD too  rclxms.gif

What it meant is if opr decrease today, they can decrease the 4.5% or maintain. If increase, that 4.5% can increase to maintain.

Very interested in this, but currently my fund is with Maybank. Is it OK if I just IBG it to another bank for a few days and IBG back to Maybank again to be considered as fresh fund?

Thanks
*
Why few days? You will lose few days interest. IBG (RM0.11) before 5am. Will each the other bank by 11sm. Go to other bank, withdraw using banker's cheque. Bring back to Maybank. Fresh fund. No need wait few days.

If you don't want to wake up so early, use ibft (RM0.53)

Couldn't agree more that it is faster and save time. But again some bank don't count that as fresh. So banker's cheque still the safest way for fresh. Where? Rm1k promo? Want to put.
