I use the bank which can give the me the best interest while saving money so can put fd.

If another bank can come out with rates which beat ambank, I will not hesitate to jump ship. My loyalty is with my money. laugh.gif

Nope. Why should I? A bank is a bank which leech money from people. So we should leech from the leech. Do not give banks free money!

If bank A can give say 4.2%, I don't see why bank B cannot give 4.2% as well. Same goes with CASA. By going for bank B which gives you say 4.1%, you are effectively giving bank B 0.1% of what you are entitled to get!

Some banks accept that as fresh funds, some don't. Read the t&c first before doing ibg/ibft or walk into the bank and enquire. IBFT from bank A (Ibft is free for now), then use BC from bank B and bring back to back A.Safest is still BC. That one guaranteed counted as fresh.

Just back from musical chair session. UOB here implemented something new. The staff at the ticketing counter insisted to fill up the upliftment and BC form even though my number is just next on the queue. And when my number is up, my FD cert is still stuck at the ticketing counter doh.gif Anyway, was informed by the teller that the 4.2% promo ending on 30th Oct has no targeted amount so it will last until the due date. BC for UOB is RM2.80 now.

I also asked what is the minimum placement amount that may warrant a negotiable rate. After consulting with her superior, was told that there is no specific amount. It can only be known at the time of placement. Too bad, else can prepare the amount before going.

Next stop was OCBC, 4 counters are open but got stuck at the queue because all 4 are busy with customers doing investment products. But when it comes to my turn, everything is smooth smile.gif

It was 2.15 before GST implementation. Last time I argued about 0.15 but the manager said depends on branches one.

Fixed deposition calculation rate differs:

QUOTE
I WISH to highlight that not all bank practices are the same.

Most banks ensure that interest is paid on the next working day.

For example, for fixed deposits maturing on Saturday, Oct 3,

payment of interest will be calculated up to Monday, Oct 5 if we uplift on that day (the next working day).

However, in this case with one foreign bank which automatically rolls over on a non-working day, that is, Saturday Oct 3 (if instruction is given to roll over) and pays interest up to Oct 3 only.

Customers lose two days’ interest if we uplift on Oct 5.

Many banks will also roll over on Oct 3 if instruction is given to roll over, but if uplifted on the next working day, Oct 5, interest will be paid up to Oct 5.

But if we wish to continue and roll over, the next maturity date will be on Oct 3.

It would be good if the practice was generally the same for all the so that customers would not lose out in interest payment.

Yes, our Captain mentioned that it was 2.15 and I told him in Penang it was 0.15 (before 2015). Next week I will see about that in UOB. biggrin.gif

Add: I guess it would be 0.15+0.50+0.03GST=0.68.
