looks like for
1) straight (i.e. fixed rate, instead of those effective rate due to x mth @ x% + y mth @ y% and subject to adjustment as OPR revised) and
2) conventional (i.e. pure fixed/time deposit, and not linked to any investment be it business, equity, unit trust, commodity murabahah) and
3) over the counter FD (i.e. not eFD)

the best rate in town r
1) Bank Simpanan (12m@4.5% non-PIDM member but 100% guaranteed by government. Heard a/c opening for new depositor a bit slow?)
2) RHB (12m@4.45%)
3) Alliance Bank (3-9m@4.35% but need RM50k)
4) OCBC (15m@4.3%)
5) CIMB (12m@4.3%)

Any better option please advise tq

Public Bank, 1 year 4.3%.

How about this? Worth to invest or not?

Why not? FD can get 7% while UT makes -6% on the same period thumbup.gif
Best of all, the UT potion will be locked in for 2-5 years rclxm9.gif

"Rebranding" and "changing" does not mean anything as long as people working inside still the same.

You are pretty right on this, I just back from BSN 40 minutes ago, was over there since 9:30am, took a number of number 30 and at the mean time I went to wet market buy vege, meat and managed to TCSS in the food court, went back BSN around 11:30am, it was number 22 rclxs0.gif
So I went to the wine shop nearby and buy few bottles of wine and another round of TCSS, 12pm run back to BSN and still standing strong at 22 puke.gif
Oklar, they do improve the service, 2.5 hours of waiting and I just walk off.

BTW, just met with a friend that travel a lot in Malaysia doing business. He is telling us that second batteries, tires have market, even a BMW 5-series also using second hand stuffs only. Not to mention a fellow bought a property for rm180M in Cyberjaya earlier and now can't even fetch rm120M, 600K gone with the wind for no reason doh.gif
Cash is king now, why want to let someone to lock our money out for no reason?
Now a catch of the day, if PBB offering 4.3% FD for 12 months and latest UOB's 11 month with 4.25%, which you will take?

Hi...

I wanna ask something regarding FD. Nearly 5 years ago, I was asked by an EON bank staff to put down RM3K as an FD as a requirement for me to apply a housing loan. After that, i totally forgot all about it, until last week when I register HLB Connect internet banking. When I browse through all my accounts, I stumbled upon the aforementioned FD. Please refer attachment:
[attachmentid=6145864]
I dunno a thing about FD. My wild guess is, when it reached the maturity date, I can take all the accumulated amount. Is it correct?

Thanks for info.
*
SO the question is, do you still keeping that bloody cert?

I definitely gonna ask about it. Thanks thumbup.gif
Which brings up another question: What cert? Cannot use this screenshot meh? laugh.gif

Yeah, I'm so gonna dig up all my 2011 papers tonight sweat.gif

You shall know that hard copy FD cert is the only thing to redeem your FD.
Even previously 6 months 4.5% FD also I ended up with 2 certs. But the interest are paid monthly, so cannot see anything doh.gif

For those who complained about bsn, I would like to share that I just found a branch at pertama complex. Took me 10min to find the branch in the complex. However, my withdrawal transaction took just 5 min.

There was only 1 other customer.

And I'm not sure it's with mentioning that the tellers are chatty, friendly.

Good find, guess it will be wise to travel down from Seremban just to enjoy fast service thumbup.gif

No need open savings account so you just deposit and get the cert? That day the girl kept insisting that I must open a savings account and they must issue an ATM card and online pin to me. I keep asking the reasons and they said now is the standard practice. I told them not all banks required and she insist. So I have no choice but just to open. Opening account took me 45 min but then processing FD at counter only like 5 min. If opening account not necessary then I'm going to write in to them asking why the inconsistency.
*
Because they can make money from the ATM card, like HLB are "giving" you debit card and in order to avoid paying fees, you need to keep rm200 minimum every month(or technically the balance needs to have rm200 before crossing last day of the month) doh.gif

i thought the campaign start on yesterday,so i accidentally placed on yesterday...but just now i uplift and re-placement again and i checked my FD account...it shown "i"beside my FD detail,and it stated that the campaign rate...so i guess even we uplift our current FD and replace,we still can enjoy the campaign rate

Looks like when other banks are doing high FD promos, Maybank are losing a lot of money and now they are doing this offer to keep people.

now got extra money .. so thinking put into hlb or mbb lo... dont want to put all in one basket

We need to spread money in few banks, so it will be "fresh" funds when the FD matures. That's why I only will see 6 months promo FDs, easier for me to swap over.
Economy won't be anytime better, at least for the next few years. So FD rate will remain higher than normal.

Usual rate is 3-3.5%, anything more than that consider high. If want higher return, EPF, AS funds thumbsup.gif
Remember, this type of investment are risk free.

Not as high as 2/3 months ago. With the Ringgit strengtening a bit, hope that all is good from here.  sweat.gif

Even if 1USD = rm3 also nothing will changed, as debt/GDP are way out of balance.
More people getting bankrupt, people still need to borrow money to buy houses. So banks need more fresh money to keep the ball rolls.
