bro, i am referring to rhb's 4.45% promo, they ended it earlier. now they have the 4.25% step-up fd.
*
The days of 4.5% and above 12 mth FD seems to be gone. Luckily I was still able to get the 4.5% 12 mth today. But I have nego'ed some more 12 mth 4.5% for my relatives on Monday 4/4. One more at 24 mth 4.55%. But I think BR may stop this nego soon as they are going to realize no one else is doing that for 12 mth or 24 mth FD. biggrin.gif

Thanks for the compilation...public bank step up, first 6 month 4.1, second 6 month 4.5, effective 4.3% For 12 months. Interest paid into saving account after 6 months.

Goat year big goat fund...

Bro, goat year over. You still working hard at night to prepare for big FD action ? brows.gif

Next time have to avoid 1st of the month maturity. Though most of the times it is the eggs that determine the date instead of us. Yesterday morning spent 15 minutes calling bank contacts to get the FD promo's that I posted. cry.gif

Let us know more of your findings ! biggrin.gif

After considering the amt for my FD (in SCB), decided to go back to BR. Called to get nego rate of 12 mth 4.5%. Got the approval from BR HQ 15 minutes later.

So, went to SCB to withdraw FD. Last week, getting the CO in 10 mnutes. Today, still no people in the PB centre, 35 minutes !! Asked why took so long, told as relatively large, need more signature.  doh.gif So the time taken is related to the amt of FD !! Shxx !!  doh.gif

Went to BR. Lots of people there. Was greeted by the officer and jumped queue. Given one more Cross pen as I posted on Tuesday. More gifts like gold coins coming from HQ .................. thumbup.gif
*
The 2 pens from BR. Both has different description at the back of the casing. But looks similar. Could be mixed up by BR/supplier when they put their logo on the pens and put the pens back into wrong casing. Hahaha. biggrin.gif

The pens quality not bad. But looking forward to the gold coins and other gifts from KL, coming, soon ! rclxms.gif

I am in a similar situation as you unker goat. I have 3 FDs maturing in the next 1 week! Btw, do you have a RM in BR?
Your Cross pen looks much more tempting than my car sun shade / bath towel.  rclxms.gif
Before I go BR next week will try nego rate with HQ. Call up the branch first before going right? Don't like it as need to call a general line & then patch u through to the respective branch.  cry.gif
*
I have answered that before. That BR Xclusive Club do not assign RM like other banks. Anyway I am in Penang.

You can visit BR branch if u do not want to call up a general line and talk to the officer, ABM or even BM. Nego few days before your FD mature date (in other banks).

Their gifts wise used to include Parker pens but this Cross pen seems to be of better quality than the Parker pen they gave out to me before. Other gifts include laptop bag, backpack, towel, cups, manicure set (nice one) etc etc. These are just bonus to me. biggrin.gif

Let know what rate u got ! Good luck ! thumbup.gif

Thanks for the list. Just returned from a trip and had to browse 10+ pages of words and words. Missed my SCB maturity by several days and can only make placement on Monday. Considering between OCBC 15m 4.30% and UOB 12m 4.30%.
*
You are lucky as I was in a rush on Friday trying to find out the best deal before I take out the SCB FD. Anyway glad that it saves you some time.

Other than BR, now it looks like the major banks are giving only 4.3%. Even CIMB forbid the 4.35% which last week they are willing to give me. biggrin.gif

OCBC website states Promotional Welcome Rate as one of the so called exclusive privilege. Is this rate referring to FD rates?

If it is, what kind of additional rate I can expect?

Last year I joined their PB. Part of the "offer" is high FD rate, but it is bundled with UT or insurance linked products (for new PB member). I believe it is still more or less the same this year.. I passed on this. biggrin.gif

You can call them to be sure. The "offered" rates, other than FD, could be 2.5% commission for UT. Another attractive point of OCBC PB is their referral. I have referred 3 PB for them, earning RM300 X3= RM 900. drool.gif Check if still available. biggrin.gif

Thousand apologies, I was also thinking no RM too but just wanted to confirm.
I will call up first before going as the last time I asked for nego rate, about a week passed without any updates until I called & asked & 5 minutes later got an answer  bangwall.gif

I will specifically ask for Cross pen biggrin.gif The parker pen was either blue or white, not stainless steel color tongue.gif
Sure, will let you know the outcome.

What was the answer at that time:
"5 minutes later got an answer"

You can ask for multiple gifts. The Cross pens seems to be a premium gift. Ask for other gifts that I stated earlier. The Parker used to have 2 types, one cheapo and another one more expensive but I think the Cross pen is better quality. biggrin.gif They may not give unless the deposit amount is higher. Hard to say, just ask ! biggrin.gif

Ya i got 2 cheapo gifts before for 1 FD, towel & umbrella. In January still had annual diary also.

I don't think I am the one. I have only nego with them in January for matured FD for 4.5% and the recent 4.5% with gold coins ! drool.gif drool.gif

You are their Xclusive Club member also ? Their HQ supposed to have better facility for Xclusive member ? hmm.gif

One more word of advice. Better call BR soon as the 4.5% 12 mth may end soon. As no more banks are offering that, they may just end it.

Also, the 4.5% 12 mth will depends on your fund and the branch and .................. biggrin.gif

300k to join xclusive.

got parking right at doorstep for xclusive member.

but their 1mth is 3.4% standard rates which is one of the highest in town?
*
If u ask for their promo rates of 1 yr 4.28% and 2 yrs 4.55% (ended on last Thursday), their stand is cannot nego further. Their nego seems to base on the board rate (1 yr board rate 4.1%) then u nego. Promo rates are non-negotiable.

But money talks ! biggrin.gif

For the xclusive membership, need to apply or they will automatically invite? My branch never highlight it at all.

and more importantly, can it allow us to cut queue fort FD placement/withdrawal?
*
Last time when they started this in late 2014, it was sent out automatically based on your deposit amount. Now not too sure.

There is a special number for Xclusive club number for the queuing, so can cut queue. biggrin.gif

Next time you walk into BR, look out for the thick yellow & blue carpet, that is for Xclusive.

Wow, carpet some more. VIP lane ! The Penang branch that I went don't have that.

Anyway today 2 of my relatives went to place for 12 mth 4.5% that I nego'ed last Friday. rclxms.gif

So far I observed at least 3 branches got that carpet.
I have just sent in my application but they asked me what rate I want so I put 4.5% then.
I am not much better, I just asked BR Uptown branch for free gifts & they only mentioned got towel & sun shade.
Will try another branch tongue.gif

So did you get the 4.5% for new placement ? hmm.gif

Gift wise, some branch may finished their stock. For Xclusive club, they have to get gift from HQ (more unique than towel etc). biggrin.gif
