All time high also so what?
If they can't borrow money, they will die also.

I hope they do keep raising the interest rates high... but then again, the market and economy suffers. Oh well...  rolleyes.gif

Nope, raising the OPR will happen in your dream rclxs0.gif
Reason is, with current OPR debt/GDP already at 89.1%, so increasing will be reaching 100%, which means every rm1 you make, it will go to other people's pocket.
Above is the average Malaysian that have or without having debt. Like me for sure are rm0 debt, by removing people like me, the actual debt/GDP is > 100% puke.gif

hi sifu sekalian, please bear with me for a simple question. i am budak baru belajar, saving reach 20k (celebrate smile.gif) so i was thinking to put 10k in FD but at the same time want to make sure i understand the premature withdraw correctly.

so i was looking at the MBB eFD (http://www.maybank2u.com.my/WebBank/edFlexi250316_tnc.pdf)

in table2 scenario where it says premature Withdrawal, the last column (*Interest Payable & Penalty Calculation) means if i need to withdraw the 10K out for emergency, the value in the table is the prorated interest i gain? or penalty $ i need to pay for withdrawing before FD mature?
*
Simple, see your monthly spending.
For me I'll put rm10000 for 1 year, rm5000 for 6 months, the last rm5000 for 1 month.
With this way, your money won't be tied up.

There's 31k of my funds placed in HSBC FD @ 3.15%, which is pledged for a HSBC advance credit card. Should I touch that FD,  the 13k points accumulated will be gone for good

Well, 3.15% of FD interest are very low. You do the maths, have to see how long for that FD matures.

That shit matures early June, hope my points will reach 15k that time, redeem, cut, ciao
there was a signup bonus of  5%p.a FD, 10% cashback for card swipes, for applying HSBC advance.
I took both, place 30k for the FD, and pledge it for the card.

The first 3 months were great with 5% interest, but soon it dropped back to board rate, but I couldnt lift it, as it has been tied with the card with 6k points already  bangwall.gif

That's close to 3 months wait, as said, you have to decide.

Basically this is the risk I need to consider. But this is when I don't want to wait long and "waste" money on bank drafts rclxs0.gif
The problem is, when we climb up to 1st floor(most criminals will target on this on Maybank), they will more or less knows. Since 1st floor is place to withdraw > rm6000 sweat.gif

Thanks for sharing your thought. For me, it is too risky and it is not worthwhile to save the mere RM 5.98 of banker cheque

Decent returns for short term

7 months and above yield more, at 4.5%.

QUOTE(5p3ak @ Apr 25 2016, 10:37 PM)
Not sure if this is a good financial practice or not. I will park my net income into GIA after minus all the living expenses for short term like 2 months, once I got 10k then I hunt for FD promo laugh.gif

So far consistent 4%.  flex.gif
*
Most of the time I'm splitting all my FDs, from 3 months, 6 months and 12 months. There will be always 1 FD matures every month. And recently with Maybank's promo FD, all my free funds are parked over there. Since it will be over soon, I will be trying this GIA.
Is good for me since I no need to run few banks anymore, 4.5% are quite good already, infact now most banks don't offer > 4.3%.

So the problem is, 4.5% for 7 months in GIA, Maybank online or running around banks with lower interest rate rclxs0.gif
I think I mentioned before, now is better to place FD for shorter period of time with high interest rate. This can make us jiggling around our money to make the most out of it.

You may consider GIA from MBB, 4.5% from 7 months onward, which is better than tiered 5.75% interest from MBB. Both are online placement, just parked money on GIA.

Whats the difference between Conventional and GIA efd? I mean as in what should i look out for or understand before placing on GIA efd?
Edit: i noticed that for GIA, it stated that "Indicative Rate and Profit Sharing Ratio (PSR)", does that mean the final effective rate would differ from what it stated there?

Relatively new to this, sorry for the noob question.

I also new on this. But see it is like normal FD, I just give a month's trial. After all others already put on their promo FD.

I see on this, but since like others says this is not guaranteed, I only put 1 month.
By keeping the current promotional eFD aside(since ends today), 4% a month are still ok. I think 1 month the lost won't be that big if they were unable to give 4%.
I take it this way : 4% of eFD from GIA are still better than normal eFD rate.

GIA no PIDM vs eFD with PIDM
*
A fact that I won't deny, but then MBSB, BR and BSN(do correct me if I'm wrong on the later 2 banks) are also not PIDM protected.
BTW, other tools like unit trust, shares also the same, but people still simply "invest" on it.
What I see is, UT and shares will go down first, follow by GIA since now Maybank need fresh money to keep them running.
If a person don't worry on this PIDM protection, can put for 1 year period, else like me, put 1 month and test market first rclxms.gif

yes, the 1 mth 4% attractive. but no 7 mth 4.5%. only short term placement, the gia-i is attractive.

That's why I only put 1 month rclxms.gif
As I take this as eFD.

Anyone knows what will happen if FD plan has fully matured?

1) auto renew to latest plans
2) just become stagnant with 0% interest
3) continue last interest rate in old plan

Any idea?
*
Interest will be bank in to saving accounts, principle will "auto" renew to board rate.
The only instruction you can give is, where the principle goes to, either auto renew or go to savings account.
