Hi all,
If I transfer fund online from Bank A to Bank B, then a few days later transfer the fund online back to Bank A, is that considered as fresh fund in Bank A?

You don't need to wait a few days. After the money appear in Bank B, you can straight transfer back to bank A. Make use of the free IBFT (instant transfer) available until 31st Dec.

I just opened HSBC Advance Term Deposit -i, 3 months 5%.
Minimum 5k, maximum 30k.
There's a monthly fee if balance in account is less than 30k. To get monthly fee waived, just maintain a balance of 30k.

Cool..  thumbup.gif
I just came back from Am Bank

A bad news..
According to Am Bank, these 2 FD promo are no more available...  sad.gif
AM Bank does not have any new FD promo now..

So I think the best so far are:
(1) Affin 15 months at 4.6% - valid until end of Dec
(2) OCBC 12 months at 4.5% - valid until end of Dec
(3) UOB 12 months at 4.4% - valid until end of Dec
(4) RHB 15 months at 4.4% - valid until March 2016
(5) Public Bank 12 months at 4.3% - valid until end of Dec

Received one SMS from BR yesterday:
Istimewa 4.3% p.a. Akaun Deposit-i Berjangka, 12 bln.
Berpeluang menangi hadiah menarik!

BR is out at this moment..  sweat.gif

I need to open RHB SA for FD interest crediting purpose. After the FD matures, can I close the SA or must I leave a minimum balance in the SA?

If you have no need for the SA, you can close it. Make sure to ask for BSA to prevent getting charge for atm card.

Ok, I have no intention of applying for atm card anyway. Thanks!

Hi I'm keen to take up a FD account. This will be my first ever.

Would like to confirm, the HSBC Advance FD requires me to open a HSBC Advance Account together with the FD right? Which means two accounts instead of just the FD account which would be the norm for the other banks is that correct?
*
You need to deposit RM10 to open Advance Account. Then proceed to open FD.
But I just realised in my HSBC FD slip, it's stated
Start date 27 Nov 15
Maturity date 29 Feb 16
Term 3 months

Does that mean HSBC doesn't pay interest on non-working days? sad.gif

Interest is given on every day during the FD tenure including non-working day.
Your 3 month FD placement which is supposedly due on 27 Feb 16 (Sat, non working day) is move to the next business day 29 Feb 16 on purpose.

This is to allow customers is they should to close their FD immediately without any loss of interest.

QUOTE(bbgoat @ Dec 5 2015, 08:35 AM)
This actually means they pay interest on non working days AFTER FD matured. They moved the maturity date from Feb 27 to Feb 29. This is the practice of banks that pay the interest after FD matured to working day.  biggrin.gif
I was in Affin last Monday to place the 4.6% FD. I asked about the minimum balance, the staff said depends on the type of SA we have. BSA, senior etc.  biggrin.gif

Thanks so much for the clarification, safilo and bbgoat notworthy.gif

Not really sure myself but this is what I understand.
From http://www.hsbc.com.my/1/2/hsbcadvance/overview, it says there's a RM10 monthly fee if TRB isn't met which is a minimum of 30k in the account.
*
Yes, you need to maintain a minimum of 30k in your account to qualify for fee waiver.
So just open FD with 30k.

From Maybank website on information on GIA FD offering
GIA FD T&C
GIA FD Product Disclosure


Some questions to those who have this type of FD
Can this GIA FD be uplift via online?
If uplift early, say, after 1 month and 5 days into the tenure, will you still get 1 month and 5 days interest (or hibah) of 4% assuming that 4% is the given rate.

TIA

QUOTE(MNet @ Dec 6 2015, 02:03 PM)
Not able to uplift online.
Only entitle for 4%pa pro-rated. 5 day is not count.

Can't uplift online but you can get 1 month and 5 days 4% full rate interest.
I uplifted mine 5 days after I opened the account . Got the 4% interest for 5 days.

I was pleasantly surprised when the bank teller gave me the principal + interest. I asked the bank teller, "Huh, 5 days also can get 4% interest?", he replied, "Never mind la, I give you full interest."

Yup, I'm waiting anxiously for the effective 5.5% hehe biggrin.gif
