But correct me if I'm wrong, this only applies to board rate FD.

For promo rate usually bank will impose a rule where whenever the OPR changes, bank reserves the right to change your promo FD rate despite already locked in.

Once u have lock-in rates based on board/promo rate, the rates will stay until it mature

KFH still better with 4.40% pa and 100% upfront interest..... biggrin.gif
So can use your interest to open another FD to earn extra interest......as highlighted by some..... tongue.gif

The only setback for KFH is limited branches

If u lock-in RM200k with Al Rajhi @ 4.40% n reinvest upfront int @ 3.70%, the returns from Al Rajhi is slightly higher than Affin
Having said tat, need to consider logistics issue unless both Al Rajhi n Affin is side-by-side

Long ago, could make good money from daily REPO and then later from short term deposits instead of FD. The calculations were never quite daily compounding  due to the public holidays and week ends. Some banks could handle at big branch, but some are troublesome as have to go to their money market/treasury place at HQ or elsewhere.

The two thing that throws off daily compunding calculations is the rounding method of the particular bank and the days per year used. The 365/366 method does not work for interest add on to principal compounding as the new principal increases daily.

REPO int is calculated on daily basis n not compounded
