BANK RAKYAT - NOT Eligible for PIDM

If you are willing to go deposit with a non PIDM member, then check out Bank Rakyat Deposit Account -i which is based on Islamic Principles and like all Islamic banks' products, the profit rate cannot be guaranteed.

Thanks to all members who highlighted that deposit more than RM5K with BR is now eligible for monthly dividend. However, please note that many members here reported that their monthly dividends were not be credited monthly but they have to call up BR staff to have it done manually every month!!!
Special thanks to bbgoat for reporting the tenure to be eligible for monthly dividend:-

QUOTE
Was in BR again today. Asked the question. For monthly interest the FD has to be min 6 months.


eFD or eTD.Contributed by Nom-el

Banks that offer true eFD (can do placement & uplift online)
i) AmBank
ii) AmBank Islamic - Minimum Fund for 1 month = RM1,000, Rate: 3.15%p.a.
iii) RHB
iv) Maybank
v) CIMB
vi) Alliance Bank
vii) Hong Leong
viii) UOB
ix) OCBC

Banks that offer online FD placement (cannot uplift online)
i) Affin
ii) Public Bank
iii) Citibank - contributed by bbgoat

I think HSBC can do online placement too but not sure if can uplift online or not. Confirm by cklimm placement only and cannot uplift.

QUOTE
For HSBC eFD, no need go branch for uplifting. You can do the uplifting through phone banking. Tested it myself yesterday for my pre-mature eFD. Everything is done within minutes for me to giro the money to another bank.

6 years ago I did eFD placement with PBB. Still have to collect the FD cert from the branch later. Cannot uplift online, only placement. So is yours placed some time ago ? Recently they seemed to have upgraded their eFD, so not sure for the last 1 year eFD placement. biggrin.gif

QUOTE
PB eFD is open to existing PBe individual customers aged 18 years and above and sole proprietors who has an existing conventional personal Current Account or Savings Account (CASA).
NO FD Receipt will be issued for a PB eFD placement.
Your PB eFD placement will be effective from the date of application.
PB eFD transactions are available between 6 a.m. - 12 midnight
Tenure available : 1 - 24, 36, 48 and 60 months
Minimum Deposit Amount : RM1,000
Interest Payment Mode:
Tenure Interest Payment Mode
1 to 12 months 
Credit into account* monthly; or 
Credit into account* upon maturity; or 
Add on to principal upon maturity 
13 - 24, 36, 48 and 60 months 
Credit into account* monthly
* Conventional personal CASA (Designated CASA) which is the source of fund for the PB eFD placement.

Selection or change of interest payment mode is not applicable for 13 - 24, 36, 48 and 60 months PB eFD as only one option available for the said tenures i.e. credit into account monthly.
PB eFD can be withdrawn on the same day of placement. However, both placement and withdrawal transactions for the particular day will not be reflected in the PB eFD quarterly statement.
In respect of PB eFD tenures of 1, 2 or 3 months, no interest will be paid on PB eFDs withdrawn prior to maturity.
In respect of PB eFD tenures exceeding 3 months, no interest will be paid on PB eFDs uplifted before the completion of 3 months. For PB eFDs uplifted prematurely, after the completion of 3 months, interest will be calculated and paid at half (1/2) of the original contracted rate for each completed month.
If the interest payment mode selected is "credit into account monthly", the interest due for a premature withdrawal transaction may be in a negative (-) amount due to the claw back of the monthly interest that has already been credited into a Current Account or Savings Account. The clawed back interest will be deducted from the principal upon premature withdrawal.
Partial withdrawal for PB eFD is not allowed.

After hoping for about 2 years, finally can hear BFM radio talking about US rate hike nearly every morning

Yellen also said 5 days ago that raising rates over time is appropriate smile.gif

What should I do? Got maturity tomorrow. How many points do you think they'll bump it? How will our BNM and comm banks react? Maybe i'll just roll into the HLB 4.3% 6 mths deal. Any other shorter term options?

Promotion FD won't be much affected by Fed move, but local issue, like OPR, LDR, liquidity etc.
After all, Fed is only expected to raise 0.25%.

If you need/want to place in the coming few days up to months, it doesn't matter much.
Fed rate hike doesn't have direct impact on local interest rate environment, although RM vs USD exchange rate.

I know SCB not paying interest if maturity fall on non business day.
Try ask the bank if they can allow the change of maturity instruction to credit principal and interest to CASA. If the FD amount is within the IBFT limit la.

I changed the maturity instruction to credit all to CASA. Then was able to IBFT (free) the fund out. But have to do it over 2 days. You have option to place the eFD or whatever instead of the fund idling in SCB. biggrin.gif

Today took out last remaining FD out from SCB. Bad experience in the normal banking area (after I terminated their PB to avoid monthly charges). I was asking to do RENTAS for the matured FD. Then only 1 hr later they realized not enough in my JustOne acct to deduct for the fees (kept minimum in the CASA). Have to go back to get CO ! doh.gif That was almost 4pm already ! shakehead.gif

Originally wanted to place FD using personal cheque after the RENTAS. So since cannot RENTAS already, get CO from SCB. Bad impression of SCB normal banking area ! May hesitate to go there next time unless has really good FD promo !

Luckily Affin still opens till 4.15pm. Got the 4.5% FD done JIT ! biggrin.gif

Still lucky your branch can issue CO as alternative. I will uplift everything to SA and do Instant transfer. Then will close my SA. Once no longer having any money with them, I will resume my complaint with BNM.

First time, BM lied that I need to place RM1500 for JustOne SA which in fact not needed. Second time, teller lied that there is no rentas and when I complained, the teller claimed otherwise. I wanted to change standing instruction but another teller wanted me to sign on a stamp stating that I have misplaced my cert and want to uplift. Filed a complaint but the HQ remedial dept is even worse. They had to keep retracting their conflicting statements.

I was shocked as it does not rolled to second 4 months for higher interested. confused.gif

I called the branch I made the FD and the person in charge replied that because during the application, I ticked the "Principal to be deposit into account" option, and thus it will not be renew to the next 4 months. doh.gif

I did not know that ticking this option will make my FD to be stopped at the end of the first 4 months. Obviously I would not tick it if I know the consequence, since the purpose of my placement is to earn the second 4 months high interest.shakehead.gif

Feel unfair and disappointed. Now I need to take leave and go other bank to make FD... sad.gif

You should file a complain. This is unacceptable. You should demand for your step up placement unless it was clearly stated on your form that you were applying for a 4 month placement only when you ticked that box.

PIC in branch said she can't do anything, and there is no point for me yelling at her. I have filed a complain through maybank2u and let see how it goes. My previous experience with maybank2u CS is they replied within 2-3 working days. If no action were taken, I will have to take the last move which is complain to BNM.

More likely someone in the branch made a mistake and does not want to take the fall for it...

For me, I think that Maybank internally should be the one who take the responsibility, as the policies does not stated clearly. It seems like Maybank does not fixed the rules clearly. Of cause the branch staff is also the one to be blamed for not giving the right instruction.

I mean, surely 99.99% of the people who applied this FD is because of it's second 4 months high interest, there is really no point for them to offer an option that would cause the FD failed to renew to the next 4 months.

Last time when I made the step-up FD in public bank, they mentioned that this FD can't set to "Principal to be deposit back to account at the end of tenure". I was curious about this rules as it is so mafan that I have to come back again at the end of the tenure to withdraw the money. Now it is explained

This is sort of a disadvantage compared to non-step-up FD hmm.gif

For those with Maybank FD, there is a Instruction printed in the cert, I bet most of us didnt pay attention to these details.

1. under Penyelesaian Wang Pokok (Disposal of Principal Sum) printed as 'RENEW', check yours.

2. Also check Pembayaran Dividen (Payment of Dividen) printed as "CAPITALISED (MONTHLY)"

I also not sure on the part Profit Sharing Ratio: 30% Bank, 70% Pelabur (Investor). Maybe someone can help clarify after looking into your cert first before comment.

The cert is saying disposal of principal sum back to my account, I have no doubt on that, since I am the one who is asking them to do so. The point I wanted to make is that they should consult me on the FD will fail to renew during the application but not after I called them and complain.

I am not a bank expert, so do not tell me to be "smart" or whatever it is common sense that by having the "disposal of principal sum back to my saving account", it will definitely not going to be renewed.

Guys,

I found a small 'workaround' in Maybank online GIA account if you want the interest to credit to principal instead of credit to account.

Once you have selected all the details like amount, term, credit to account, etc... click next.

Then DO NOT click submit but click back.
The option Credit to Principal will be an option in the dropdown.

withdraw cash at the counter then deposit it back into their FD...
OR ask for PBB bankers cheque then deposit it into another account in another bank then ask for bankers cheque/issue cheque back into PBB.

The MBB GIA-i eff 4.5% 1 year started around Oct 2015 and has ended in Jan this year. The current GIA-i is 4% per month (1-60 months) all way through until end of campaign . Most are using it for short term placement (days or months only). biggrin.gif

thanks man ... i certainly missed out a lot hahahaha but it's all good lah. I just moved to HLB 4.3 % for 6 mths just so i got flexibility if bnm & or local banks decide to offer higher rates after yellen does her thing in 2 weeks. I'm thinking also if rates do go up, i'll just not rollover some pbb 6+6s ie pull out after the 1st 6 lah

see how & keep fingers crossed unsure.gif

Hi Guys,

I'm pretty hopeless and pathetic when it comes to managing my own finances. I can scrape out RM500-600/ month (and assume yearly incremental of 10%<) for FD. Looking for long-term, however upon doing much reading - there's just too much information available, and some of it doesn't quite make sense to me. I'm not a finance person sad.gif

I had stumbled upon this post on LYN: https://forum.lowyat.net/uploads/attach-44/...-1462941010.jpg

It caught my attention. Is there a FD plan I can take long-term? 25-30 years maybe? Where I just put in RM500++ a month?

If it matters, I only have a CIMB savings account & CC.

Please guide me sifus smile.gif

as far as I know, the longest one time renewal FD is 5 years. You can rollover thereafter. Sikit sikit lama jadi bukit.

You mean FD limit is usually 5 years, after which will auto-renew or I'll have to open another FD again?
My financial management quite bad lol

26 y/o, no investment, savings account is the same account my salary gets banked in and I withdraw from.
I need this to change. I understand FD is the safest way, but also the slowest? Time is not an issue, as long as 20-30 years from not I have something to live with laugh.gif

Put 5 years FD but you cannot add-on every year. Once put, money is locked up. Put and forget. After 5 years, remove and add it in again. Make sure to ask for promo rate

Another option is wait until have rm1k. Put into maybank eGIA-i. Select 2 months. After 1 month, uplift. Add your new rm500 to your rm1k + 1 month interest into a new eGIA-i. Do that until you have rm10k. Then go for promo rates. After 1 year, withdraw and look for promo rates.

Alternatively you could into EPF (max rm60k/year). Epf returns are higher than any FDs. You can add in every month. No need to run to the bank eveey year (can be done via online - not sure if cimb can do it) EPF is OT ya.

Keep in mind that FD cannot outrun inflation. However FD is the basic. Once have 6months - 1 year of salary in FD, dont put FD anymore. Go look for other stuff.

Oh, okay this is new to me. I didn't know I cannot add whenever I wish into FD. This is going to be an issue, since I don't have a capital to begin with.

Maybank eGIA-i sounds good - I will look into this.
What do you mean by promo rates btw?

As for EPF, you mean I can deposit any further amount (after salary deduction) into my account? Is the 60k/ year inclusive of the already existing salary deduction or is it on top of that? And what's OT?

Thank you!

Promo rates eg
Bank A board (normal)rates
1 year = 3.3%

Bank A promo rates
1 year = 4.3% but need say minimum rm10k.
Same bank, same duration, different rates. If you go for board rates, you are practically giving banks free money (in this case 1% of your interest)

I am not very sure about self contribution but can try. No harm. Scared give you wrong answer. OT = off topic.

the 60k/year did not include the existing salary deductions. OT = off topic biggrin.gif

The promotional interest rate offered by banks from time to time in which higher than the board rate (i.e. the default rate given). The min requirement to get the promo rate usually starting from RM10k. Do look into the first page for more info.

Supposed to be automatic step-up. But due to MBB issue, they used wrong code. So it became normal GIA-i of 4% monthly interest. They admitted this error and have to manually adjust the step-up interest. System unable to change already. biggrin.gif

That's maybank GIA-i promo which give effective rate of 4.5% if hold for 12 months (ended already). The normal eGIA-i gives flat 4% even if you hold for 12 months. Up to you. If you are ok with losing 3 days of interest, then go ahead.

Guys,

I found a small 'workaround' in Maybank online GIA account if you want the interest to credit to principal instead of credit to account.

Once you have selected all the details like amount, term, credit to account, etc... click next.

Then DO NOT click submit but click back.
The option Credit to Principal will be an option in the dropdown.

Am bank is customer friendly on fresh fund requirements . Since True Saver rate drops from 2.8 to 1.8%, transfer my money to the 6 months FD 4.25% promote rate, rm500 ( min rm10k) or 5% of FD to be kept in saving account. i use True saver as it gives 1.8%..

For 6 months i think this is the best rate

If Ambank allow us to place it with existing fund or just top up a bit, then that is covinient for existing customers.
However, pure "fresh" fund, still prefer Hong Leong 6 month offer, 4.25% hmm.gif
By the way, I calculate ambank offer in stupid way like : (4.25*20+1.8)/21 = 4.133% tongue.gif

Only bank with monthly interest credited should be Bank Rakyat and MBSB (both no PIDM protection). But there are additional T&C. Best to check with the banks.

Usually normal FD are supposed to pay the interest at the end of tenor (period in months or years) on maturity. However some banks have monthly interest payments as an option which you must choose during placement of the FD principal (your capital), subject to certain conditions.
For example, Bank Rakyat requires at least 5k, tenor of 6 months or longer, and an account to credit the interest automatically each month.
Ambank also offers monthly interest for senior depositors. Other banks may offer monthly interest but usually specific to a particular promotion such as HongLeong current offer for seniors (qualifying age is not standard for all banks).

Interest rate may be higher for senior or priority/privilege/private higher worth accounts but need to ask to get it if you qualify.
Usually the banks allow a senior to have a joint account with a younger person/s.

To avoid any confusion, place your FD not later than the 28th of the month, then the interest will always creditted on the same day each month.
Some banks calculate based on 29/365 when a leap month occurs, and 28/365, 30/365 or 31/365 for other months..
Some other banks eg Maybank, will take into consideration leap month and use 366 as divisor.
Alliance Bank however, will divide the total interest due by number of months (promo over).
All the banks will make adjustments to the interest paid due to rounding error for each month.
To avoid confusion, you may place a multiple of RM 365 such as RM 3,650, RM 5,110, RM 7,300, RM 10,950, RM 36,500.

Depending on the promotion, interest can also be paid upfront, at end of each step, quarterly, halfyearly, yearly or on maturity besides monthly.
It is highly advisable to clarify the interest payment on each placement to avoid unpleasant mistakes.

Some banks limit the maximum principal for each placement of their FD offer. An offer may disqualify priority/privilege/private accounts or business.
Some attractive FD promotion offers are only for once a customer account for a certain maximum amount only and for a limited fixed tenor.

To avoid any big losses in interest due to unexpected need to remove (premature uplift) the FD earlier (especially for long term, higher rate FD), it is highly advisable to split up the capital into different FDs.

If you are willing to take the risk that interest rates will not go down and want to take advantage of the best promotion FD deal each month, your FD placements should not be in one big lump FD placement but spread out evenly about one or two months apart with the maturity date somewhere between 17 to 27 of the month.

If the maturity date falls on a weekend or holiday, you should uplift on the first following bank working day. Some banking FD programs will know and already changed the maturity date on the certificate and even print out the total interest due, but there are still banks that need to be asked to check whether it is non-banking day. Some banks will make two credittings for the actual maturity date and for the extra holidays. If you uplift later, you will not get any extra interest. To avoid any problems at banks that do not automatically pay or adjust for the forced holidays, you may try to avoid maturity dates that falls on weekends and holidays by placing on chosen days.

Usually it is not good to place according to the normal board rates as you will lose out a big amount of interest. On maturity, you should remove the principal and interests even if automatically renewed at board rate and place at the best deal for the month which should be known by then.

Most banks require you to go back to the same branch to uplift on maturity. If you lose your FD certificate, you will face some problems and have a penalty/fine deducted. Electronic FD (eFD) avoids this problem as no paper cert is involved. Unfortunately the best rates are not here.

Ambank, Bank Simpanan Nasional and Bank Rakyat allows uplift on maturity at other branches. Please check the current maximum amount (interest plus principal) allowed.

Ambank and UOBM says all computerised and the paper detailing your FD placement need not be shown. Only need to scan your thumbprint and IC. However, be prepared in case your thumbprint cannot be read.

Usually normal FD are supposed to pay the interest at the end of tenor on maturity. However some banks have monthly interest payments as an option which you must choose during placement of the FD, subject to certain conditions.
For example, Bank Rakyat requires at least 5k and longer than 6 months, and an a account to credit the interest automatically each month.
Ambank also offers monthly interest for senior depositors. Other banks may offer monthly interest but usually specific to a particular promotion such as HongLeong current offer for seniors.
Usually the banks allow a senior to have a joint account with a younger person/s.
To avoid any confusion, place your FD not later than the 28th of the month, then the interest will always creditted on the same day each month.
Some banks calculate based on  29/365 when a  leap month occurs, and 28/365, 30/365 or 31/365 for other months..
Some other banks eg Maybank, will take into consideration leap month and use 366 as divisor.
Alliance Bank however, will divide the total interest due by number of months (promo over).
All the banks will make adjustments to the interest paid due to rounding error for each month.
To avoid confusion, you may place a multiple of RM 365 such as RM 3,650, RM 7,300, RM 365,000.

Depending on the promotion, interest can also be paid upfront, at end of each step, quarterly, halfyearly, yearly or on maturity besides monthly.
It is highly advisable to clarify the interest payment on each placement to avoid unpleasant mistakes.

Good summary, well written thumbup.gif

Btw, currently there are two HongLeong Bank 6 months FD promo gives monthly interest:
For everyone at 4.25% p.a.: 3-month and 6-month FD Promotion
For seniors aged 50 and above at 4.30% p.a.: Senior Savers Flexi FD Promotion

I have ended all FD's in SCB. Unlikely to place there unless they have promo's like last year. Now keeping the JustOne CASA acct with total RM2 in there. laugh.gif

If Ambank allow us to place it with existing fund or just top up a bit, then that is covinient for existing customers.
However, pure "fresh" fund, still prefer Hong Leong 6 month offer, 4.25% hmm.gif 
By the way, I calculate ambank offer in stupid way like : (4.25*20+1.8)/21 = 4.133% tongue.gif

You are right , the effective rate is 4.13%. for senior citizen, interest is paid monthly. The plus side is entitle to participate in the car draw competition.

Ambank policy on premature withdrawal, withdraw after 3 months, half the interest will be given only.

It is just casual calculation tongue.gif I didn't add in the interest will be credit(Savings account) every month hmm.gif
Anyway, our fund not that large, for the sake of saving hassle of time(Moving fund around:lol: ), parking fee etc., it is still worth & convenient for existing customers like us.

Sorry a bit out of topic, but have always wondered about these 2 issues:

(1) must we declare FD interest for income tax purposes?
(2) if FD interest is considered tax free, is there a limit to this tax-free amount? For example, anything above RM100,000 FD interest must be declared as it will be taxed?

Thanks.

According to the person in charge, it should only affect the initial batch of placement but I asked her to check all my GIA placements.

Luckily i read your posting here notworthy.gif notworthy.gif notworthy.gif

She explained the same thing, if system cannot be changed, then they need to escalate to branch manager to manually credit the additional interest.

So confirmed that one of your GIA-i placement has the 4% issue for 7th month interest ?

It is good to share the issues that we face. Initially I thought MBB 7th month for that promotion still giving 4%. But others told me they got 4.5% for the 7th month. That is how I discovered I got the system setting issue.

Yes, they acknowledged the issue but assured me the other placements not affected.
They told me that they will only credit the interest into my savings account upon maturity but I requested it to be credited on a monthly basis as I am afraid I may forget about it by then. So request is currently on application, waiting for approval.

Last month after small hassle of calling them, they credited the add'l 0.5% into my SA. Then this month have not credited the add'l interest yet since the 5th (5th is day of placement). The officer claimed they set up a list of affected customer and will manually credit it until maturity.

Anyway I think I will just take it easy and kacau them later. Manual crediting is an issue. biggrin.gif

I called the call centre for definition of fresh fund. Accordingly, fresh fund could be a source of fund from our maybank saving / current account, even the fund is uplifted from our existing EFD and placed into this promo FD. The only thing is do not uplift today and place it today. Have to wait after 1 or 2 days.
Although this was what explained by the CS, I am still doubtful especially when I probe the CS that uplift of existing Efd in Maybank to savings account and subsequently (not same day) place it under 12 months conventional Efd is defined as fresh fund.
Anybody can confirm on this?
In addition, is there anyway to check what is the rate we having? Like in those certificate FD, the rate is clearly stated.
This one is like unless till end of the 12th month, you never know whether you get 4.27%. But then if till end of the 12th month only know not getting 4.27%, then wasted the effort now, isn't it?
Thanks

Although this was what explained by the CS, I am still doubtful especially when I probe the CS that uplift of existing Efd in Maybank to savings account and subsequently (not same day) place it under 12 months conventional Efd is defined as fresh fund.
Anybody can confirm on this?
In addition, is there anyway to check what is the rate we having? Like in those certificate FD, the rate is clearly stated.
This one is like unless till end of the 12th month, you never know whether you get 4.27%. But then if till end of the 12th month only know not getting 4.27%, then wasted the effort now, isn't it?
Thanks

Fresh fund by its simple definition means funds from other banks. Each bank has its own fresh fund guidelines and bank's front liners are guided by the general guidelines. Since the guidelines are executed manually by human discretions then the definition of fresh fund becomes discretionary and it varies among banks, bank branches, bank staff and depositors.
I dont think banks are willing spend tens of thousands rm to intall a program just to allow system to auto check fresh fund and putting tremendous pressure to system computing resources just to run 24/7 to detect fresh fund from all types of deposit accounts.

For the step up FD rate, just download the promo TnC and keep it with you in case of discrepancy in the future.
As you can see some forumers here having discrepancy with Maybank GIA 12months step up rates, a black and white promo TnC can come in handy.

Supposed to be automatic step-up. But due to MBB issue, they used wrong code. So it became normal GIA-i of 4% monthly interest. They admitted this error and have to manually adjust the step-up interest. System unable to change already.  biggrin.gif

owh. jialat liao. The brochure i throw already. I also lost track when suppose to be started to >4.0, I only remember last month is 6.0.

How you complain and ask them check? Since the system isn't tally also....

2) for maybank step up fd, even if opr reduces, at most would be, the campaign rates reduced by the same amount that opr reduces, right?

My point is, if OPR reduces by 0.25%, my campaign rates cannot reduce by 1%. There’s distortion then. The last time OPR increased, it was by 0.25%, savings rate went up by 0.15%.

I don’t know what’s the relationship between OPR and normal savings rate, that’s why I’m asking.

earlier you talked about campaign rate, fd ya? so fd promo and opr rate not 1-1, me opinion. means if opr down 0.25 point, fd promo also down that much, not that way.

For the Gia-i, if the profit sharing rate is 70/30. Then with a interest rate of 4% we would only be getting 2.8% and the bank gets 1.2%.

Also as I can read from the earlier posts, it can be withdrawn at any time without affecting the interest earned to date. May I know if I understand it correctly? E.g. if I place it now for 1 month and withdraw it after 15 days, will I still earn the 15 days' interest?

BTW, since the interest rate is the same for 1 to 6 month's tenure, is there any advantage of placing it for more than 1 month? Or would it be better to place as 1 month and with auto renewal?

Yes. Upon uplifiting, interest will automatically be added to principal.

For one month you need min rm5k. For >2 months above, you just need rm1k. Just the amount required. No additional benefit. You can place for 60 months and just uplift after 1 month also no problem. I renew it manually by adding in the interest.

BTW, since it's 4.5% for 7 and 8 months, meaning that better I place it for 8 months to enjoy the extra 0.5% if I manage to hold it till 8 months. Else if need to uplift before the 7th month, I will still get the normal 4%, right? hmm.gif

For the extra good stuff, need to put in some effort. Currently only 2 meets your request.
4.5% for 12 months at a few Affin Bank branches. Telephone the various branches (not the general call line) and see whether the branch still have it and any minimum conditions. This is rather unusual as promos usually are for all branches..
4.35% for 12 months minimum 10k at Bangkok Bank. There are only a few branches in Malaysia.
Both pay interest on maturity.
Looks like most folks here are trying shorter periods at 4.3% and below hoping to catch a possible increase in FD interest promo rates.

Had a pretty bad experience with Bangkok Bank (KL Branch). To open an account, you will need to wait for a few days for verification and approval. The weird part is that they will even run a CTOS check on you for FD Placement...

can confirm that Affin Bank Cheras (the one in Taman Midah) is offering 4.5% 12 months FD. min 10k. Interest is on maturity (not monthly).
You do not need to open savings account but you have to withdraw it with banker's cheque when it matures (according to the teller). If it's savings/current, FD could be deposited into it when it matures.

For the extra good stuff, need to put in some effort. Currently only 2 meets your request.
4.5% for 12 months at a few Affin Bank branches. Telephone the various branches (not the general call line) and see whether the branch still have it and any minimum conditions. This is rather unusual as promos usually are for all branches..
4.35% for 12 months minimum 10k at Bangkok Bank. There are only a few branches in Malaysia.
Both pay interest on maturity.
Looks like most folks here are trying shorter periods at 4.3% and below hoping to catch a possible increase in FD interest promo rates.

Thanks. smile.gif

Will check with Affin next Monday. Bangkok Bank has no branch here.

I went into PBB yesterday to check their promo rate offer @ 4.30% pa (4.1 for 6M + 4.5 for 6M) , go staright to customer service counter and spoken to one of the staff for 5 mins, intended to go for my 1st palcement with PBB (withdraw from my CASA) and got a queue no. for calling to speak to customer service. Again ?? confused.gif

Other bank i did it at cashier counter for 1st placement.

Waited for 10 mins, pretty slow in calling CS queue no. and noticed only the cashier queue no. was called non stop.

Walked off, can't wait too long as need to return to office. sad.gif

What is the current eFD rate for PBB?

Had a pretty bad experience with Bangkok Bank (KL Branch). To open an account, you will need to wait for a few days for verification and approval. The weird part is that they will even run a CTOS check on you for FD Placement...

Its pretty common that banks will do a credit check on you even for fd placement. Try to check the contents of the forms they ask you to sign when you open an account/ place an fd with them. But seriously, few days just to open an account is a bit too much.

Hello!

Fairly new to getting serious in FD investment.

Want to ask all sifus here regarding the maybank eflexi.
I know that it is a step up FD investment but here's something I don't understand,

According to maybank the effective rate is 4.3 percent. but in iMoney there is a comparison and it seems that the return is way higher than 4.3? is this a mistake in calculation from iMoney?

user posted image

I also know that this campaign does not entitle you to reinvest the money earn from interest back to the FD.

Let's say the amount put in is Rm10,000 the return after 12 months should be RM430 right? but why is iMoney calculate as 568 confused.gif

Maybank just changed their eFD Campaign Rate. Effective from 4.31 to 4.27 now.

Previously was 4.31 until end June, now it is 4.27.

Thinking if should just go for Affin 4.5

Maybank's eFD's interest is deposited monthly. but Affin's interest is given one lump sum to you during maturity.

of coz there's penalty for Maybank eFD,
"New Premature- After 2 months, interest shall be half the campaign rate for the completed number of days until premature withdrawal."
u can split your FD to a few certs (5 x 10k certs) for 50k, if u think u might need to withdraw it before maturity. tongue.gif

Can give example?

Assuming today I put 10k, then 3 months later I uplift.

I still get first 2 months interest since they credit into account monthly. So what happened to 3rd month interest? Or the amount I uplift has been deducted on my interest?

You can check out their Terms and Conditions. It contain an example of Premature Uplift and how the calculation is being done. Refer to Table 2: Premature Withdrawal (Upon completion of 6 months & 10 days)

http://www.maybank2u.com.my/WebBank/efdFlexi070616_tnc.pdf

Then again it is not advisable to do so since you will only get 3.4% (first 6 months). If you are going to uplift earlier, might as well consider placing your fund in maybank's GIA-i, which is 4% and you can uplift whenever you want or even the next day and still get 4%. But do take note that maybank's GIA-i is not eligible for PIDM protection.

Well, it depends on how you look at it. Some people just want to have a peace of mind. If Maybank goes bankrupt (which is very less likely). You will still be able to get back at most RM250K.

can imagine when the day finally come that PIDM being used to bail out bank, the nation's economy must be in deep trouble before doing so. At then it will affect everyone, not only bank customer.

I don't think we are heading toward that direction any time soon.

Would like to understand this PIDM as well, it is not capital guarantee return only or not interest guarantee return ?

Kind of misleading as how can a fixed deposit instrument not covered in some way ?

Might as well call it derivatives investment instead, no ?

MBB previous GIA-i promo (for other forumers: plse note EXPIRED promo !!) 7th to 10th mth 4.5%, 11 to 12th mth 6%.

Checked the online interest given to see if it is the correct interest banked in. Since still 4%, so complained to them. They acknowledged the issue.

Anyway, for the 8th mth, they did manually gave me the 0.5% interest on the 10th of June (5th is the due date). So no need for me to call them. rclxms.gif

I was targeted each time I entered any bank. Each time, I'll remind them that I'm only interested on pure FD. Worst when they started texting you after working hours for non FD related stuff.

I realized this is the best and only place to park temporary since it count by days. drool.gif
Also, i noticed in gia-i rates page, it stated that indicative profit rates effective from only 16 May 2016 to 15 June 2016. Does this mean that the rate might change after 15june?

The 2 GIA-i principal amt intact. Daily interest at 4% p.a. exact to the dot. biggrin.gif

The 2 placements are about 10 days and 17 days. Would not have earned anything from FD. SA miserable interest. Earned extra pocket money. rclxms.gif

Anybody placed maybank's 4.27% p.a? I have placed it according to the steps in order to be entitled for the 4.27% however when I check its detail, I noticed the interest appeared as 3.40% for the 12 months period. So, is it 3.40% or 4.27%? Kinda worried of this. Rather stick to the eGia for 4% if want to play safe?

Went to rhb to uplift my previous step up fd from a year ago. Placed additional 25% of my principal to go for current step up promo at 4.25% p.a. effective.

According to rhb staff, this promo 'reopened'.

Went to rhb to uplift my previous step up fd from a year ago. Placed additional 25% of my principal to go for current step up promo at 4.25% p.a. effective.

According to rhb staff, this promo 'reopened'.

Additional 25% is a T&C?

Last time, I was asked to top up RM100 to get the current promo rate for matured FD in RHB. No fixed T & C, I think.

Dunno which version should I check, sorry if I asked the repeated question:
may I Know is PBB paying interest if my FD matured on Sunday? Must complain to BNM only get? Or is there any sifu here got their interest once inform to the officer nowadays?

So what are you going to complain about at BNM? "Public Bank didnt want to pay me my 1 day interest?" Go talk to your bank first. If every customer were to go to BNM for such trivial matters, then BNM staff would be really busy. shakehead.gif

For PBB, I asked about my FD that matured on Sat. The counter staff gave me the 2 days interest in cash, on Monday. So ask PBB when u redeem your FD on the working day.  biggrin.gif

Same here, got extra day of interest after the cashier asked the officer. cheers.gif

My experience is you will only get the interest if you withdraw on the immediate working day which is Monday, but at board rate for those 2 days.

I was surprised for my case, the counter staff just gave me the cash without seeking approval from officer, after doing calculation. biggrin.gif

Ya, they would calculate based on board rate.

For my RHB case, have to talk to the officer. Then they calculate based on board rate for 3 days (Friday holiday), got close to RM100 or so.

AmBank talked to the ABM, they bank in the add'l interest based on board rate to SA. rclxms.gif

The counter staff normal would ask for the 25% (around that number, depending on banks) for matured FD for current FD promo. So one time in RHB I top up RM300 (counter staff asked for >RM500). Then in Feb, I met one officer there whom I already know and she asked me to top up RM100. But as a "courtesy" I top up RM200. Hahaha.

Anyway u could get the FD promo also if u said you only have RM100. If not u have to withdraw the FD ! brows.gif

In PBB, I was asked to top up something like RM2000 (cannot remember exact amt now), then reduced to RM800, then finally settled at RM500 ! tongue.gif As my wallet only left RM500 at that time ! tongue.gif Power of nego ! biggrin.gif

I see, but i did have the funds, don't mind. LOL.

Btw, i think this is the first time i heard of PBB nego works... does that have anything to do with the size of FD? would like to get my mother to do it using the normal PBB FD.

Today actually has RHB FD due. But looks like have to let it idle. Then next Tuesday to combine with other FD due. Not worth effort to go there just for that FD.

Now thinking phone banking of CB is good. That I can just call and terminate FD and put back into SA. Then can IBFT to MBB for the GIA-i pocket money. biggrin.gif

Just wanna ask about GIA-I for maybank.

1. Place no need any document right? Just do from efd part of M2U?
2. No PIDM - does that worry anyone?
3. Confirm the interest granted even when withdraw after a few days?

1. Yes. No need documents. Yes.
2. No. Cauae this is maybank. PIDM will only come into effect if maybank bankrupt. Maybank reputation is at stake. If they lose the money, in the future if they introduce similar product, no one apply. Rugi lo. If bank rakyat or mbsb, maybe yes. Maybank, not worried. If yoi are kiasi, go for ambank islamic efd 3.25%. Need min rm1k only. thumbup.gif
3. Yes. Interest will even be given if you uplift the very next day.

Hi, can I placed and uplift the GIA-i account on the same day? Just now i tried to placed and wanted to uplift as I can't modify the term after that, when I click uplift, it shown the error message as below:

and if i want to modify the account, such as change term, it shown "Status: Unsuccessful - Account is not authorised. " after I key in the TAC

You can't uplift on the same day. Need to wait until tomorrow.

Just try changing term but leave everything blank. Btw, term not important. You can put for 60 months and withdraw in one month. Still get full interest for 1 month

Not bad not bad. Idk, I randomly walked into CIMB and direct to BM. Didn't go thru any RM for now.
Gave them a hypothetical figure of 100~250k to deposit and see what they could come up with. These are the results, as the rates are apparently for CIMB 'preferred' customers.
1mth@3.8
3mth@4.2
6mth@4.2
12mth@4.25.

I did mine just last month only. biggrin.gif But now i'm getting spammed by my RM for other investment products.. bleh hahaa...

I just checked my MBB eFD FLEXI monthly interest credited into my savings account on 1 May and 1 June. Same amount credited for both months. Shouldn't interest on 1 June be more than 1 May coz 1 June should get 31 days interest and 1 May 30 days interest? MBB calculated 30 days for both months.

I remembered the 1st time I placed it I answered the questions, and subsequent 2-3 placements need not answer. But one fine day, when I placed it, it prompted me to answer again and for the following placements every time.. Do you know how to revert it so that I do not need to answer every time?

Also, i noticed in gia-i rates page, it stated that indicative profit rates effective from only 16 May 2016 to 15 June 2016. Does this mean that the rate might change after 15june?

it remains 4% for the past few revisions.

the dates are there to manage our expectations, if mbb ever need to revise the rate.

as expected, maybank gia-i's indicative profit rate remains at 4.00% p.a., effective from 16 June 2016 to 15 July 2016.

do you all think it's a good idea to put foreign currency fixed deposit? Like SGD or AUD for 12 months. Rate is lower than RM FD of course. Looking at long term hedge

Your "slightly longer" means 2 yrs and above ? The 1 yr rate of 4.5/4.3% is slowly being eroded away.

Just say you want to put FD in x currency. Keep in mind that you will lose out on exchange rate. The effective rate will be lower than malaysia FD rates after counting the exchange rate. Personal experience. After that. I never place foreign currency FD with local bank anymore. My returns effectively were 1% p.a. vmad.gif bangwall.gif
However, if you are overseas and the FD rates are good,j ust put FD. This is an example of a news which state Indians withdrawing their money from malaysia and park it in FD in India. Got higher rates than what malaysian banks are offering. India FD rates even higher than malaysian promo FD rates.

No. Read my post above. If you want to place those FD, be sure to go to that country and place it. If you place via Malaysian bank, you will lose out on exchange rate.

Called HL Penang branch to ask about the 6 mth 4.25%. It is still running until end of June.

Then for seniors >50 years old, 6 mth 4.3% still running, no end date yet. But have to open a Harvest SA with 1k. Can withdraw the amt after opening so it is not tied to the FD.

Please note the above HL offers may run in certain branches only. Call before u go to the branch to make sure it is available in the branch concerned. biggrin.gif

Diversification for long term, yes.

Hedge against Rm especially for short or mid term? No.
You don't gain much actually if the amount is not significant.

While if amount is significant, there are plenty alternatives which may be more effective and better way or can get better yield compared to foreign currency FD rate that able to hedge against RM.

10 years is considered long term enough. We don't have many x10 years, probably only a few up to around 5. laugh.gif

Cause they want people to go to branch, have face to face contact and then BAM! Promote all kind of stuff in the hope you will buy.

If give you high rates online, you won't visit branch, how to sell you products? brows.gif

Tq bro Ramjade,...

Kinwawa... it depends on the timeframe you can afford to leve your funds there before you need to take it out for usage. The longer the timespan you have, the higher your chances to gain from your foreign currency investment. YOu can change back from the foreign currency into the RM if you wished to use the funds when the RM has weakened adequately against that foreign currency that you are holding.

The following graph will demonstrate how long it took for the SGD to pull ahead vs the MYR, and finally reached the level of the SGDMYR today :-

From this graph, you can estimate how long you need to leave the MYR 'overseas',... but it also depends on your entry level and the timing of your entry,...

Thanks Hansel! Saw your discussion on forex etc.....i'm just thinking of parking extra money there for children's education in future (if required). Like i say...maybe 10 yrs..but i might put in low volume and accumulate slowly if req...like AUD5K, SGD5k, USD5k for 12 months and let it roll and accumulate later when got extra savings again

OK thanks Sifu Cherroy....
Indeed it's for diversification.....had already some on promo FD rates. Looking at the way RM is dropping....planning to hedge some in foreign currency maybe for the next 10 yrs.....not planning to use the money...

based on your advice, 10 yrs considered short-, mid- or long- term?

thanks"

Tq bro Ramjade,...

Kinwawa... it depends on the timeframe you can afford to leve your funds there before you need to take it out for usage. The longer the timespan you have, the higher your chances to gain from your foreign currency investment. YOu can change back from the foreign currency into the RM if you wished to use the funds when the RM has weakened adequately against that foreign currency that you are holding.

The following graph will demonstrate how long it took for the SGD to pull ahead vs the MYR, and finally reached the level of the SGDMYR today :-

http://finance.yahoo.com/echarts?s=SGDMYR%...ing":true}

From this graph, you can estimate how long you need to leave the MYR 'overseas',... but it also depends on your entry level and the timing of your entry,...

Let us know,...

Thanks Hansel! Saw your discussion on forex etc.....i'm just thinking of parking extra money there for children's education in future (if required). Like i say...maybe 10 yrs..but i might put in low volume and accumulate slowly if req...like AUD5K, SGD5k, USD5k for 12 months and let it roll and accumulate later when got extra savings again

Better do it fast as it may end early as they have a target fund size for this promo. The only down side is limited branches running this promo. biggrin.gif

Our previous Captain Gen-X has stopped blogging as he stated in his blog. However he must still be looking for high FD rates. Hopefully he can still be looking at this thread and gave us some of his inputs ! thumbsup.gif rclxms.gif

Bro, BR current 24 mth FD board rate is 4.2%. So lower than some of the other banks' FD promo rate. So has to nego only with sums >50k (or 100k depending on BR's requirement at that time), to get higher rates. biggrin.gif

Their current FD promo is 12 mth 4.3% min 25k.

well, i did mention about this "problem" with m2usavers' min holding balance of rm250

You can set your gaji to be paid to normal account. That's what I am doing. Before this, any excess money from 1 month eFD sure transfer directly into m2savers. But after closing m2savers, I transfer all to normal SA > eGIA-i

I understand what u mean by "To hedge against lower rates upon maturity". But if I could get 4.5% vs 4.2% for 12 mth vs 24 mth, I will still go for the 4.5%. I already have 2 and 3 yrs FD at 4.6% and 4.5% rate in AmBank (BR 2 yrs 4.55%, AmBank 5 yrs 4.55% also).

Then why don't u get the BR 5 yrs 4.5%, to hedge even for a longer term ? hmm.gif

Anyway each has their own way of "hedging". biggrin.gif

Today only I notice there is the transaction history in my Saving on 21-Jun-2016 EFD INT ADJUSTMENT RM0.93

Anyone have this? I'm quite sure is about the eFD Campaign that I place in last 2 months. But why is 'Adjustment'?

Another point is the 24 mth 4.2% is not attractive not only against Affin's 4.5%, but also the other promo's of 12 mth 4.25%/4.27%. Of course the other consideration is after 12 mths how much lower will the rate be. That is an unknown and unsure as well. biggrin.gif

I have same shit here, but in different amount. Apparently its Maybank calculated our interest wrongly, and deposit the correction into the account.

Thanks for the info.

It should indicate which cert and which month of interest having problem, rather than just post one line of 'Interest Adjustment' in. doh.gif

I understand what u mean by "To hedge against lower rates upon maturity". But if I could get 4.5% vs 4.2% for 12 mth vs 24 mth, I will still go for the 4.5%. I already have 2 and 3 yrs FD at 4.6% and 4.5% rate in AmBank (BR 2 yrs 4.55%, AmBank 5 yrs 4.55% also).

Then why don't u get the BR 5 yrs 4.5%, to hedge even for a longer term ? hmm.gif

Anyway each has their own way of "hedging".  biggrin.gif

Of coz I did lock-up 12 mths @ 4.50%
My portfolio objective is to continuously receive 'consistent' n 'reasonable' (i.e. at least 4.20%) returns in the next 2 to 3 years
Upon renewal, any rates above 4.20% is a bonus to me

Each of us has their own way of using our funds for returns from FD or other sources. No right or wrong way of doing it. thumbup.gif

Guys,

Today only I notice there is the transaction history in my Saving on 21-Jun-2016 EFD INT ADJUSTMENT RM0.93

Anyone have this? I'm quite sure is about the eFD Campaign that I place in last 2 months. But why is 'Adjustment'?

I got the same thing. I think it's interest adjustment for MBB eFD FLEXI coz same amount of monthly interest was credited into my savings account on 1 May and 1 June. 1 June should get 31 days interest and 1 May 30 days interest. MBB calculated 30 days for both months. So now they adjusted it.

Interesting that MBB has this type of problem. My GIA-i still got the 4% interest for the May month, credited on the 5th of June with 31 days calculated. But they have the issue of not doing the 4.5% for the 7th mth onwards ! doh.gif

Now this 30/31 days issue for eFD ! doh.gif

The posts on the adjustment of interest given by Maybank have prompted me to calculate the monthly interests

Month Days/Year Amount Int. rate Interest
MAY 31/366 $10,000.00 3.40% $28.80
JUN 30/366 $10,000.00 3.40% $27.87
JUL 31/366 $10,000.00 3.40% $28.80
AUG 31/366 $10,000.00 3.40% $28.80
SEP 30/366 $10,000.00 3.40% $27.87
OCT 31/366 $10,000.00 3.40% $28.80
NOV 30/366 $10,000.00 4.70% $38.52
DEC 31/366 $10,000.00 4.70% $39.81
JAN 31/365 $10,000.00 4.70% $39.92
FEB 28/365 $10,000.00 5.75% $44.11
MAR 31/365 $10,000.00 5.75% $48.84
APR 30/365 $10,000.00 5.75% $47.26
Total interest = $429.39

The total interests will be $429.39 and thus the effective interest rate is just 4.29% and not 4.31% as advertised! ranting.gif

The quoted CIMB promo is likely OTC. Not eFD. Also not sure if it is still available as it was quoted in early May.

Ya, that is how we can earn extra interest and further boost our ROI thumbsup.gif

Btw, I think I have figured out where is the missing 0.02% in the advertised effective interest. The reason is MBB has calculated the effective interest by assuming the Feb 2017 has 29 days instead of 28 days! Now I am very curious to see whether MBB will pay 29 days of interest for Feb 2017 in order to meet the 4.31% as promised.

It's OTC, Highly doubt that it can be doing over the internet unless you call a representative RM.
But those special rates are still available, can get slightly more if you have a larger fund at your disposal.

I noticed interest credited for the 4.5% GIA from last October's offer was short from Jan2016 onwards.

When I asked the officer she said because this year leap year - so use 366 days as a base. If you do the math, straightaway, you'll know that interest will be less than if use 365 days as a base for per annum.

I believe they have now gone back to 365 days & that's why you're all getting that small credit in your accounts. I haven't checked mine yet. I guess/hope I'll be same. But for kacang puteh like me no point getting all fussed to argue with them lah. Especially now that I think they realise their mistake

Bro, for the GIA-i issue that few of us encountered, it is NOT due to the 366/365 days issue. We know how to calculate based on 366 days. Maybank is using 366 days for this year.

Your GIA issue could be it did not changed from 4% to 4.5% from 7th month on. biggrin.gif

MBB did NOT change from using 366 days to 365 days.
