I thought I saw 4% offered by CIMB but now I can't find it anymore.

Anyone got any idea?

I think 2 months ago I placed some money in OCBC FD to get 4% interest.
If I remember correctly, need to deposit some money again every month. I think I missed it last month, forgot to deposit money.

So that means I can't enjoy 4% liao?? hmm.gif

Surprisingly AmBank issuing of FD is faster nowadays. Kaotim in about 15 minutes. Used to be like 25 minutes to 40 minutes or so. But they changed so that FD cert no need signature from them. Last time need 2 signatures on the cert.  rclxms.gif

I wonder what takes so long for these staff.

I mean, if we do it online, can settle in less than 5 minutes.

What paperwork that takes so long?? rclxub.gif Cannot understand.
Or the workforce is just incompetent.

That's not FD. FD does not need you to deposit money monthly.  That's ocbc e-SmartSavers. You won't get 4%. But you will just get lower. Don't know how much lower. Best is deposit min rm50 at the beginning of the month.

After 31/12, you won't get 4% but 3.05% provided you deposit min rm1k into the account every monyh.  After 31/12 either you close account, or use a efd which can accept min rm1k (more worth it 3.15% and same thing lock in for 1 month)  icon_rolleyes.gif

yeah, you're right. It's eSmartSaver.
Then I might as well take out the money and put it in CIMB eFD? hmm.gif
not sure got penalty or not if the account is closed in less than 3 months.

I just checked my OCBC eSmartSaver account.
Despite not depositing any money last month, I still got 4% credited into my account. Not bad. smile.gif

but another problem is, I can't seem to find Instant interbank fund transfer from Maybank & CIMB to OCBC. Why?? hmm.gif

and when I clicked fund transfer from OCBC, the only option available is IBG, not the instant version. Why?
