QUOTE(kmarc @ Jul 31 2015, 09:01 PM) What does FD kakis think about this article : https://www.imoney.my/articles/make-more-mo...Deposit-AccountGranted that the money will be locked in for 5 years but it looks logical, especially for any banks (not necessarily BSN) that offer such high interest rate for long tenure. If hunting for priority banking, just dump in the money for the required priority banking and you can enjoy higher returns + PB privileges.......  Not really good deal. The effective rate is less than 4.2%. How do i get this? If you put RM100,000 to BSN 4.5% pa, after 5 years you get RM122,500 However if you compound the interest for RM100,000 at 4.2% for 5 years, you get RM122,839 Banks should offer at least 5% pa for 5 years FD, imho.

QUOTE(aeiou228 @ Aug 3 2015, 02:02 PM) I thought BSN gives half yearly interest, No ?? If compound half yearly interest, it's approx 5% total compound interest over 5 years. EIR remain at 4.5% p.a. I dun think so. In the article it illustrates only simple 4.5% is given. If they really give half yearly interest, it would be very good for this deal! Anyway i really doubt if they do...banks are not stupid... This post has been edited by ikanbilis: Aug 3 2015, 02:31 PM

QUOTE(LostAndFound @ Aug 19 2015, 11:56 AM) Suspect his calculation is 12/15 * 4.5% In which case I think when he puts RM1k in a 1 month deposit for 3% he's expecting RM30 by end of the month  Walao! Luckily i did not take up the recent BSN promo 5 years 4.5%. Otherwise I'll end up with 12/60 * 4.5 = 0.9% effective rate. Screw you, BSN! You are just like your boss plundering the rakyat! Errrr.....Just kidding....no hard feelings pls, BSN.

QUOTE(cklimm @ Aug 20 2015, 03:09 PM) I tried HSBC efd, you need to withdraw it at branch while sipping on Americano, reading New Straits Time. For HSBC eFD, no need go branch for uplifting. You can do the uplifting through phone banking. Tested it myself yesterday for my pre-mature eFD. Everything is done within minutes for me to giro the money to another bank.

QUOTE(BoomChaCha @ Sep 6 2015, 10:51 AM) I placed my 4.5% 15 months in March, and I received my interest just right on time last Friday. Renewal Instructions: (2) Renew principal at prevailing rate for same term, credit interest to same currency account number -- ----> This means upon maturity of 15 months FD, your FD principal will auto renew to a new 15 months FD based on board rate and the last interest payment will credit to your saving account. Renewal Instructions: (3) Credit principal and interest to account -- ----> This means upon maturity of 15 months FD, my FD principal and last interest payment will credit to my saving account. Ah Boom sir, I placed a 4.25% 9-month FD in Feb. The renewal instruction is (2). How do I change the renewal instruction to option (3) in SCB? Can I do it online or by phone without visiting the branch?
