BR is getting real bad. My mom went to update my FD certs (me as joint account). They printed the cert wrongly, both name is listed twice but one with my IC, another with my mom's. If not because I am busy this week, I would have withdrawn all. mad.gif

FYI, open OCBC e-SmartSavers Account from now until 30 September 2015 and you'll receive a special interest rate of 4.00% p.a. on account balances until 31 December 2015.

Just need to deposit minimum of RM50 monthly to enjoy this rate.

Read more here and here.
Too bad, existing SmartSavers account holder not eligible to open e-SmartSavers account  mad.gif

This is interesting. From what I understand from the T&C, looks like there is no hidden agenda.

Account balance refers to the balance at the end of every month and the interest will be credited monthly?

Assuming I bank transfer 10000 to the account now, I stand to obtain RM33.33 at the end of this month and after 6 months (31 Dec 2015), it will be compounded to a total of RM10201.67?

the hidden agenda is, if you make any withdrawal, your rate will be reduced to 0.50% p.a, for that calendar month

I am okay with that as will treat it like a 1-month eFD. On the other hand, if we pump in more fund on the next month, it will enjoy the 4% p.a. too. But really sound too good? hmm.gif

mechanism works like traditional smartsaver account. very very  good interest rate if u don't need immediate fund.

I've been getting lots of free money by depositing 1k every month (as early as possible, usually 1st working day due to IBG, since interest is calculated over daily balance).

QUOTE(cybpsych @ Jun 25 2015, 06:57 PM)
yes, keep on pumping in money the next month to regain the high interest rate. biggrin.gif

remind yourself not to withdraw the fund within calendar month  .

alright, thanks. I have been depositing small amount every month to CIMB eFD for 3.15% only

I have 3 years FD in AmBank. If people suspect it will be affected, there will be a run on the bank.  biggrin.gif

The name of the bank escapes me but one of our local bank got into some trouble in the 80s/90s and people are queue-ing up to withdraw money. This was told by my dad biggrin.gif

Yes you can do FD upliftment via online through the OCBC Internet Banking.

Is this for eFD only or normal FD is able to be uplifted thru internet banking too?

Would be great news if normal FD can be uplifted online as FD upliftment for OCBC here is terribly slow.

Counter staff cannot make decision or may give you lower rate. Have to be at least ABM or BM level for bigger amounts of 100k upwards.  biggrin.gif

So basically at the counter, I request the counter staff about this and get him to speak to the manager? Small people only take queue number, no direct access to manager wor.
