Alright, I will give you few examples.

QUOTE
Eg 1
Bank A able to give 3.25% for their Islamic efd while for their conventional efd, it's only 3.15%. Same bank, same tenure, only FDs under different name.

Eg 2
Bank A board rates 3.30% p.a. Bank A promo rates at 4.2% p.a. Same bank, same tenure. There's a different of 0.9%!

Eg 3
Bank A is bigger and net value is more than bank B. Bank A gives esavings at 2.25% p.a. while bank B gives esavings at 2.8% p.a. What's stopping bank A from giving 2.8% for their esavings? Different bank, same product (esavings), same tenure.

Eg 4
Bank A gives FD of 3 months at 3.8% p.a. Bank B gives FD of 3 months at 3.93% p.a. What's stopping bank A from giving 3.93% for their FD?  Different banks, same product (FD), same tenure.

Eg 5
Bank A credit card gives 10% cash back per month. Bank B credit card gives only 1% cash back per month.What's stopping bank B from giving 10% cash back for their credit card? Different bank, same product (credit card), different cash back.

These examples are ways people are giving free money to banks.
One may argue that different banks give different rates. Yes that's true. But what's stopping them from giving the same rate as their competitor? Nothing. They are just keeping the money for themselves (making banks richer as they do not need to pay out more interest). The end user is the loser as one gets lesser interest from the banks. mad.gif vmad.gif
Banks do not reward you with gold bars even if you are loyal to them for 20+ years. Hence one's loyalty should not be with the banks but to the no in one's account. smile.gif

I won't mentioned names of bank but I think you guys know which bank is that in the example given. whistling.gif laugh.gif

The CIMB 3 months 4% promo seems to apply for over the counter placement as well.

Have done it twice the past 2 weeks.

Are you sure? Website actually says online only. Maybe there is exception to the T&C.

The PB FD has a fine print said that " upon maturity, the fd will auto renew to 4m board rate". Is that mean, that, the FD will lock for 8m?

means the promo rate is only applicable for 1 cycle (4-month tenure). <--- doesnt make sense if bank keeps renewing with same promo rate perpetually, right?

once matured, it will auto-renew (next cycle) to board rate (non-promo rate).

Haha... You withdraw they minus the money from you. Cause this need you to "locked in" people have showed you go for other bank promo, you have interest. That interest is enough to buy a note 5 with about RM500 left of balance. Check back the posts. Not sure this thread or the previous one.

The price of note also drop already. Besides if you know where to buy, you can knock off rm100-rm200 off the note price. So better pick another bank which offer high FD interest . Saving you say maybe rm400. Plus with other bank high interest FD, I just earned you about ~RM800 brows.gif laugh.gif
