QUOTE(Human Nature @ Apr 4 2016, 05:31 PM) Rentas my fund from SCB, took 1 hour. Make placements at OCBC, registered for the 70k luggage offer using McD free wifi and now eligible for it. Then walked in to their PB centre for enrollment, got a night beg as welcome gift, jadi la. Also found there is a difference between cut off time for BC and cash/fund from CASA. For BC, the cut off time is 4pm but for cash/CASA it is 6pm. So u joined OCBC PB ? Did not get someone to refer u ? But I am not sure if the referral program is still on. Last year, I referred 3 from May till Nov time frame. RM300 X 3 = RM900 QUOTE(gchowyh @ Apr 4 2016, 05:32 PM) Not yet gotten the answer, they said need 1 or 2 days time will let me know. Anyway, I am not ready also. SCB also needs a few days also to terminate my priority banking status before I can transfer out my $$ else they will charge RM 100 a month if I don't meet the AUM!  What 1 or 2 days ? My branch got the approval from HQ in 15 minutes ! This post has been edited by bbgoat: Apr 4 2016, 05:44 PM

QUOTE(Human Nature @ Apr 4 2016, 05:54 PM) Haha i dont know anyone else at my branch. It is still on, saw it at the website. Maybe soon I can start referring my family members too  Ya the RM300 per referral is tempting ! For the RM900 we used part of it for a meal and the rest goes to my mom. I missed to be your referral ?

QUOTE(gchowyh @ Apr 4 2016, 11:57 PM) Wah, seems everything is better & more efficient in Penang. Let us know once they replied you. Whether they give u what u have asked for, the 4.5%. Today again received MBB's GIA-i interest, exactly 4% again !  However this is the 6th month, so looking forward to next mth for 4.5% interest.  Even later 6% !

QUOTE(cyclone9 @ Apr 6 2016, 09:23 AM) Public Bank TOC, which rate should we follow?[attachmentid=6320918] Promotional rate column. QUOTE(leo_kiatez @ Apr 6 2016, 09:41 AM) Normally when they credit the 4% interest? 1st day of the month or after 1 month for monthly interest? The day or monthly date u put in for the GIA-i.

Find it laughable that not telling the FD amt is for people to guess my wealth. Will u be happy with the answer that it is 500k, 1 million FD. Then is it showing off ? I have said before that it is 6 figure FD. If I said 1 million, will u believe it ? Am I boasting ? Someone has said I have 3 million. U believe it ? What should I say: a. U are right b. No, I have more than that I think telling people that it is a high amount should be enough. Different BR branch may give better rates. The attack coming from a hypocrite is even more laughable. Someone who did not behave in sending PM to people. This post has been edited by bbgoat: Apr 6 2016, 06:13 PM

QUOTE(nexona88 @ Apr 6 2016, 06:28 PM) wah u can see I check few time. even zoom the pict. still cannot see any number  Will u be happy if I said 500k FD ? QUOTE(Human Nature @ Apr 6 2016, 06:51 PM) Cool down guys, everyone has own comfort zone in not revealing too much at the internet. I think sharing the info of BR 4.5% is more important than telling the actual FD amount which is 6 figures. If I said just 100k, is it important ? 500k ? Whether I am rich or not is not important. It is the info and the FD percentage we can get from BR is more important to the other forummers here. This post has been edited by bbgoat: Apr 6 2016, 06:57 PM

QUOTE(5p3ak @ Apr 6 2016, 08:28 PM) I have a feeling that it's >250k then again that remains ambiguous  It is difficult for me. I do not want to give false info neither want to give out the actual figure. BR wise the nego rate also depends on the branch involved. Would u believe if I said the figure is rather high, am I bluffing, showing off ? You can always ask BR with the amount u have and see they agree. That is what is called nego ! If they said no, then a lower % ? Nego, nego. I am also not sure if the 4.5% is the highest they can give for the 1 year.

QUOTE(tarc2000 @ Apr 6 2016, 10:58 PM) 04/04/2016 CIMB Jalan Ong Yi How, Pulau Pinang Current effective Fixed Deposit rate at CIMB for 12 month is 4.2%. Preferred CIMB user is 4.3%. Jalan Ong Yi How, Butterworth side ! Last Friday I called CIMB RM, she said cannot give higher than 4.3% for 12 mth FD. But I think one forummer mentioned CIMB 4.35% this week. I ended up still put the eggs in BR for 4.5%. This post has been edited by bbgoat: Apr 7 2016, 08:09 AM

QUOTE(cklimm @ Apr 7 2016, 02:32 PM) As my ankle is sprained at Sime Darby Convention Center, i couldnt walk the staircase to HLB for the 3 months 4.2% anymore. I chose to have the Maybank 12 months 4.31% efd instead, and its rather confusing. I am concerned with the step-up of MBB. Initial months low rate. When OPR drops, they could change it based on their T n C.

QUOTE(jernih @ Apr 8 2016, 02:06 PM) Just deposited 12-months FD @ 4.5% at BR today, thanks to bbgoat 's tips! Whoever said that bbgoat is trying to show off is just jelly of his wealth. Logically, if a person wants to show off, wouldn't he reveal the big amount that he has deposited, rather than conceal the numbers? The critic is just speaking out of spite and envy, maybe because he doesn't have the sufficient sum to qualify for 4.5%?  So u did get it now.  From the Penang main BR branch ? How about their gift ?

QUOTE(Human Nature @ Apr 8 2016, 08:16 PM) OK getting OT abit coz very curious..until now I don't who you guys are referring to. Having SCB maturing next week again. Still deciding wanna go for UOB or OCBC 4.3%. With rumors of OPR gonna decrease, 15 months seems to have upper hand. I think u can try CIMB if the amount justify for it. Can ask for 4.35%.

QUOTE(jernih @ Apr 8 2016, 08:44 PM) Yup, I went to the branch you suggested. Thanks! As for the gifts, when I was in the Asst Branch manager's room waiting for the certs to be prepared, the manager came in with two full bags as a gift. I was thinking. "Wah! Two bags of gold coins!" Haha!  However, when I went home and opened them, these were what was inside - a nice, big box inside each bag which contained a towel each, two Parker pens and an Xclusive thermal mug. What an anticlimax!  Thanks for the confirmation ! I actually received 2 PM's from Prai side. Another regular forummer also said he was not able to get the rate in Prai side. Maybe he can call up or go to the Penang main branch in Magazine Road and see if he can get that rate also.
