OT, Say one have a SA with bank A open at KL. Then that person goes Johor, can he open another same SA with bank A at Johor? This holding 2 same SA from bank A but from different place.

I dun think you can have more than 1 same SA with same name in the same bank.. is redundant.

Are you comparing 3months or 6 months?

I comparing the first 3 months only, not the entire 6 months, therefore calculations should be the following :-

Affin bank

20k x 0.043 x 3/12 = RM215
80k x 0.046 x 3/12 = RM920
Total interest for 3 months = RM1135

HL BANK

100k x 0.045 x 3/12 = RM1125

You must remember that after 3 months, I can take out the 20k and find for other promotional FD to put in.
Maybe if I'm lucky I might get 4.5% and above, who knows??

But u had yet to factor the moving in moving out cost. Time, petrol, toll, etc

If you have too much money then ok. If RM250k lock up just for priority status, not worth it when that RM250k (I am using RM250k because most banks need about RM250k) can be earning 10%+ in other investment. But each person is entitle to their own opinions.

Wad investment can guarantee 10% ?? Got risk one wo

Whilst FD is confirm ini macam get payout

UT, stocks. I did not say guaranteed. RM250k in FD just to get priority service compare to RM250k in UT? I prefer getting more money than getting entertain first. After all, for me banks only have 4 functions
a) SA
b) FD
c) CC
d) Loans (unless priority service is able to give you lower rates, than is worth it)

For me, 5-15 minutes waiting time, no problem.
*
A.) Normal
B.) Priority rates
C.) Inifinite/signature CC free for life with benefit
D.) Yea preferential rates
E.) Save time, drink coffee, parking
F.) BCC hobby- sightseeing lengluis RM
G.) Any bank promo, just call/text your RM to find out

An update about Mach FD,

I went Mach MV, informed that only counter placement is available for 4.5%pa, handed the cheque, printed my thumb, and, told that the cheque need to be processed before the FD takes effect.

Login to HL konek, no sight of the new FD yet.

Guys, better of stick with normal branches, at least you can have the cert immediately

Well you are paying with the amount of interest given compare to what can you get by parking your money somewhere earning double digit almost every year. Let's just say 10% of RM250k vs 4.5% of RM250k. That's a difference of about RM13k. More than enough money to go on vacations.

I will take the RM13k (vacation every year) compare to being a priority customer.
*
Haha..

I dun want to boast much, but i had to tell u my investment is more than 500% return last year, and this year also nothing less than 200% with the capital employed. 10% is good, but if that money is risking for only 10% return, not attractive at all.. lol

But despite that, why i put FD for 4.5% ?

FD is almost no risk, unless bank collapse and ur money gone. Even that, pidm still protect 250k per bank.

FD is really do nothing and get passive income. You dun even need to find tenant or repair your leaking house and pay cukai tanah and etc.

Only risk is currency risk.

if u can consistently getting 200% to 500% return, with just few hundred thousand capital, u are multi millionaire in just few years' time! then why talk of 4.5% return and dream of 6% fd return? brows.gif  tongue.gif
*
Millionaire or millionhair, i dun want you to speculate my NTA la, i am only a kuci miao. If i invest rm100, get back rm600 and above, tat is more than 500% ad ma smile.gif but 1 thing for sure, i am a millionhair, so dun call me unker yet.. haha


Ok, i have to note that this kind of high return investment is not passive investment, it is highly active, risky, volatile, time consuming activity that need constant monitoring and study. There is so much work involved, can take me more than 12hrs a day to get that return.

But FD on the other hand is really doing ntg. Maybe the something that you need to do is to hunt for good promotional FD, other than that, literally sit and wait

Now u see, active income and passive income have different feel. 1 person will draw more security with a passive income, really by doing ntg and seeing money crediting into the saving acc without fail. This kind of feeling cannot be beaten by any kind of other active investment.

If one day i only know how to build my active investment return, but foresaken my passive income side, if i touchwood land into accident, paralyze, or disable, that will be too late.

Is better to diversify into something solid and u know mati mati also u will get it punya financial tool, macam FD.

I will still continue my active investment, but i will continue to use the money earn from active investment and build my passive investment/money tool, for me, most solid = FD

2 separate issues, boss kim! the one u mentioned is if one day u want to secure and get out fm volatile investment that can get 200% to 500% return.

another is like big bones said of doing the investment and fd. if really can get consistent return of so high percentage of 500%, no need to talk of fd. until the day we want to retire. brows.gif
*
U see... 1 year is 500%, another is 200%.. the fluctuations is very big. Next year maybe -50%, possible stuff.

My style is like this
Example..

Year 1 - capital employed 100k
Total year end profit + capital = 400k
So take 200k locking FD

Year 2 start 200k
Total year end profit + capital = 300k
So take probably 100k to 150k locking

Year 3 start 150k
And etc...

unker, oops, bones, key point is asset diversification. so after your year 1, discipline enugh to do as u said, then good. but it does points to high way to multi millionaire within years if you can consistently getting that type of returns! it is possible but not everyone can made it.  thumbup.gif
*
I had a fren, real case..

Year 1 - 60k capital
After year 1, total gain + capital = 160k

Year 2 - capital 160k + 60k loan = 220k
End year 2 = left 40k

Now trying to rebuild back.. but it is tough with current market situation.

The problem is because he didnt lock.

Same for my scenario, if i didn't lock, a few mistake will be having me say bye bye to my profit, or worst, even capital.

Btw, there is no highway to success. My way is not highway at all, it is crazy tons of works and a lot a lot a lot of research, networking, meeting people bosses and dedication and passion. Not highway at all, i work more than 12hrs during my starting point without any result, endured for 2 3 years.

So back to FD, i just want to point out that why rich people still put FD is because, the nature of FD, u just can't get it anyway easily with that kind of assurance and liquidity

For fast service without the need to line up and being serve first (feels like priority customer without being one brows.gif) and if you don't intend to be a priority customer like me tongue.gif = affin bank (the bank is usually empty, that's why is so fast)

For best online banking = Maybank

For nice and comfortable seats + cold Aircon = Cimb

For best savings account interest = Ambank

For most no of atm = Maybank, cimb, bsn

For best FD rates = check first page tongue.gif

For lenglui/lengchai = ask others tongue.gif I never noticed and don't care about it.

Avoid hlb like a plague unless you want to go for their 4.5% FD. Service  extremely slow. The other day, system down whole nationwide.shocking.gif They are one of one of the least efficient banks.

These are my opinions. It could defer from others. smile.gif

One of the local newspapers mentioned today  banks are short of fund for loan, competing for FD. Looks like the rate may go up in Jan. This is purely banks competition but in the near immediate term, I still think BNM will need to reduce rate to boost the slowing down of economy. GDP next year projected 4-4.5% down from current 6+%, currency expect to drop further to 4.5 to 4.9 range due to dropping oil prices, political scandal, high national and household debt. Property sector would expect to face near zero growth next year.
