2) Affin back is willing to offer me 4.2% for 12 months for my soon to be maturing FD with them.  Therefore I no need go waste time transferring the funds here and there. Those of you who are new to this thread or my blog, many people including myself have always advised those who want higher interest rates to go talk to the Branch/Service/Operation/Relationship Manager.

Bro, Affin Bank 4.20% is by default or specifically for u ony?

i am not sure about the rate, I did walk in to a branch last month and asked for their rate. gave me lower than the rate mentioned, even lower than efd.
Mind you it is over 5 figure...

If the rate is right, I'll ban the branch, simply give rate without checking!
*
Mine's not 5 figure. Just a little bit more. tongue.gif

QUOTE(Ramjade @ Nov 4 2015, 11:28 AM)
Complain to the branch manager, if no action threaten to complain to BNM. But you must be certain that you have proof that you are entitled to higher rates. Previous flyer/brochure stating the rates. If you got proof, banks usually able to correct it (you will get the actual promised rates upon maturity). Hope this helps. smile.gif
*
How to have proof? Btw, if I am a few months in, any possibilities of requesting for rates upgrade since promo gets better?

3) As for UOB, once again if you are new to this thread and my blog, UOB have this thing called "Retention FD rates" where they will offer you slightly lower interest rates compared to their current FD Promo. Therefore, also saves one the time to transfer money here and there. However, in order to be eligible for the "Retention Rates" - make sure you talk to your RM before the FD matures and not after and ask him/her to backdate. This ""Retention FD rates" is good for me as I can give my RM instructions to renew my maturing FD before I fly off.

*
UOB offered 4.1% for matured FD which my relative did not accept. Myself also pulled out the matured FD and went for CIMB 12 month 4.35%. rclxms.gif

QUOTE(michaelho @ Nov 4 2015, 06:36 PM)
2) Boss, why 4.2% 12 months in Affin when you can get 4.5% for 12 months in Ambank?
*
AmBank have 2 years 4.6% and 6 months 4.25% FD promo. No 12 months 4.5%. hmm.gif

I did not talk to my RM. My relative did. Current UOB 12 mth is 4.25%. By moving to CIMB for 4.35%, I already got extra of RMx00. biggrin.gif

Brochure pic. Eg brochure show 4.2% But they give you only 4.1%. By complaining in with proof, you can get eg 4.2% upon maturity. I suggest you to look back at v9. Might have pic there. Good luck. smile.gif

First thing would be email your bank. Give them one week to reply. By one week, no response, langsung email bank negara.
You can try. No harm.

OK, checked MBB online. The "profit" is in, shown as "Credit FD Int". I calculated the amt given, it is 4%, as declared for first 6 mths. rclxms.gif Calculated for 31 days for/over Oct month. nod.gif

Maybe others can check theirs later. biggrin.gif

Now looks like can put in more eggs there ! rclxm9.gif

I will show you some calculations and let you decide whether it is worth it or not.

Samsung malaysia official Note 5 price = RM2699
Public Bank SA interest = 0.6%
(220000 x 0.006 x 182)/366 = RM656.39 assuming you put this month
Total amount earned = RM2699 + RM656.39 = RM3355.39

If you put at ambank 6 months 4.25%
(220000 x 0.0425 x 182)/366 = RM4649.45
Directd price = RM2499 (Samsung malaysia warranty)
Savings = RM4649.45 - RM2499 = RM2150.45

So if you put ambank 6 months at 4.25% and you buy a note 5 after 6 months with the interest, you still have leftover of RM2150.45 instead of only RM656.39 if you put at public bank savings account.

What if I don't like ambank? I would like to go for other banks 6 months promo. Be my guest. Just use my calculations and substitute 0.0425 with whatever interest that bank is giving you. And check out for yourself if is still worth it putting at pbb sa. Keep in mind that after 6 months, the Note 5 price will drop further. biggrin.gif
