Actually I was swayed more by the gain of 0.06% that can buy a good dinner for 10 people than by hearing that OPR is going to drop. So just put all the BC there instead of going to UOB or OCBC for the 4.2%. rclxms.gif biggrin.gif

But if they didn't tell you about it.. smile.gif

laugh.gif I know you are going to say that. It is going to happen later if it is to happen. Now I have few BC's in my hand. It is a matter of putting the FD here or UOB/OCBC. The main difference becomes the 4.26% vs 4.2% in UOB/OCBC. Also 15 mth vs 12/13 mth. The AmBank that I placed the 4.2% is next door to HL etc. UOB/OCBC is in the town center, >25 minutes away. laugh.gif tongue.gif

For those depositors who can embrace risk, better goes for Maybank 12 mths product (non PIDM) instead of 3 mths promo as returns r higher

After thinking over it, tomorrow likely I will go for this one instead of MBSB one. Just take some risk. Since I have some in MBSB already at 18 mth 4.5%, going for MBB at 12 mth 4.5% is even better in terms of return. rclxms.gif biggrin.gif

The 3 mth one is meant for those looking at shorter term. But I think other banks have slightly better rates. For me most of the times I look for 12 mth or beyond. biggrin.gif

well, the upside is limited to merely 4.5%p.a, while the downside is technically unlimited as neither capital nor profit is guaranteed,
if the bank goes kaput, all they need to do is just say: sorry, we just screwed up  brows.gif

The manager told me the profit will vary with OPR. If it goes up, good for us. But the other way round, ha ha.

But since this is into MBB's Islamic subsidiary, this should provide some comfort instead of into bonds, equities etc. biggrin.gif

Is there any catch on the 4.5% mbb?

It is in a way similar to MBSB's 18 mth 4.5%. Both are GIA i type, not FD. Capital & returns not guaranteed. But you can terminate it before end of 12 mth with no penalty and with monthly interest.

Risk wise I think it is lower than MBSB. I have the MBSB 18 mth 4.5% which pays at end of 18 mth.

Anyway it depends on the person to decide and assess his risk/return appetite, same as going into ASNB funds. brows.gif

MBB Islamic 4.5% Effective Rate Promo is no different from Public Bank Term Deposit-i Promo where many here have signed up for; both these Islamic Banking promos' "interest" rates are subjected to OPR.

And it was mentioned before, PIDM's current fund is  not even enough to cover a single bank; and as such, banks advertising that your deposit is covered under PIDM is just to give you some psychological comfort  tongue.gif

This thread will be closed 11.18am today as it has surpassed the usual normal number of posts for a new thread to be started. As such, someone please go start new thread V.10  thumbup.gif

I supposed the downside is limited too as it carry Maybank brand
If Maybank kaput, all local Banks will go bust too

I foresee the downside likely depends on OPR. But if OPR moves up, the return will increase based on what the MBB manager told me. biggrin.gif

But the risk should be low. Even FD also carry risk. It is a matter of how low and how high. tongue.gif
