any idea if money put in FD or exchange to other currency notes such as USD and SGD for better value?

round trip forex rate would offset any gain you likely to have.

Don't expect FD to be more than 4.7%. 4.7% is the highest

printing money could solve this problem, BUT someone has the control over it, you know who.

Can use e-smart saver that pays 4% promo rate for this promotion?  If can then effective is 8.8/2=4.4%, best 3mth rate!!
*
why go for 3 months when u can go for 15 mths for less hassle and higher rates>?

those who put 3 months FD, what is your backup plan upon maturity actually?

where would you evaluate the situation and where would you put the money after 3 mths? there must be a good reason to do that.

Compared to 15mths, you would have do 5 times of: drive to bank, parking, wait, fill forms, etc... or perhaps you want free gifts 5 times kah?

Truth of the matter is, whatever gain we had in FD for the past 2 years has been evaporated by the depreciation of ringgit.

be very careful with maybank 'promotions', past experience told me that their marketing tactics are rather misleading.

I dont think u would get 4.5% p.a. for 12months with guarantee interest return.

saw someone mentioned avoid HLB for some reason,

i am pretty sure there is a better deal than HLB 15m @ 4.26% effective.

just a rough calculation of avg monthly interest gained upon maturity when compared between tenure vs (final) effective rate %
MBB 10-mth @ 4.15% p.a. - RM 69.36

UOB 12-mth @ 4.20% p.a. - RM 70.19

PBB 12-mth @ 4.175% p.a. - RM 69.77

MBB 12-mth @ 4.50% p.a. - RM 75.21 (islamic GIA, no guarantee)

OCBC 13-mth @ 4.20% p.a. - RM 70.28

HLB 15-mth @ 4.26% p.a. - RM 71.27

MBSB 18-mth @ 4.50% p.a. - RM 75.07 (no PIDM)
*
very worthy compilation.

from risk point of view, having an extra 0.3% without PDIM coverage is no a wise choice, won't you think so?

I would like the ask the wise ones...

cybpsych, which package is your pick?

I will take the HLB 15 months promo, as they are pidm protected, and pays interest monthly,
the interest paid out can put into another fd, that makes 3%+- interest onto your interest. brows.gif

make sense to me too

HLB 15-mth @ 4.26% p.a. - RM 71.27

RHB better come out with promo otherwise there are a lot of maturing outgoing funds going to HLB, as last year 15 months step ups are maturing..

anyway, are there better deals then HLB 4.26% 15m?

best part is, hlb published 3 languages for the T&Cs, but not the promo page.  blink.gif

monthly interest crediting seems nice, but a bit mahfan to open another CASA for HLB  sweat.gif furtheremore, HLB doesnt have good high-interest CASA too.
*
HLB 4.26% 15m with CASA (not sure how much) requirement means the effective 4.26% is not true.

anyone wants to calculate the real effective rate incl casa requirement?
