The Launch of “eFD FLEXI 2.0” Campaign [ Maybank | T&Cs ]

Process Flow for Placement

Process Flow to check rates

Notes:
Select interest payment mode of ‘Credit to Account'. Customers who select interest payment mode of ‘Add to Principal' will only receive the board rate and not the campaign rate.
Any ‘Modification' made to existing eFixed Deposit will not be entitled for eFD Flexi 2.0 Campaign Rate.
Premature withdrawal for 2 months and above will get half (1/2) the campaign rate for the completed number of days until premature withdrawal or closing of account.
No interest shall be paid for eFixed Deposit that has not completed its 2 months full tenure period.
The campaign rate is offered only once. Upon rollover the board rate will be given.
For first time fixed deposit customers, placement must be done through Maybank2u website (www.maybank.com.my)
For joint accounts of subsequent placement of eFixed Deposit, it must be made by the same primary customer of joint account and eFixed Deposit.
For placement of eFixed Deposit, debiting and crediting of account type imteen is not available.
Call 1300 88 6688 or visit www.maybank.com.my, ‘Promotions' for more details or terms and conditions

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

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.

Thanks for the detailed advice. have to monitor closely then

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?

its step up interest. 3.4 for first 6 months. 4.6 for 7-9 months and 5.68 for 10-12 months. If calculate.. effective rate is ~4.27

really? why i have to answer all the questions every time I make new placement under the same GIA account?

I used to answer once but this does not last long ...

QUOTE(mamamia @ Jun 17 2016, 09:54 PM)
I just need to answer once

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?

i just added a new GIA, no issues

Thanks guys for the update. I have called the CS on this issue. Accordingly, it was due to m2u savers need to maintain a min amount of rm250. I am able to open the GIA-I successfully after maintaining the said sum in my m2u savers. Thought of fully utilising the GIA-I that's why I almost all in to it haha

I am still getting 4% based on 366days calculation. You are asking this question, is it you got yours less than 4%?

nope just wondering cos i just started with e-gia after one of my longstanding efd just completed its tenure. Since mbb e-fd promo rates are no longer there, thought i move my funds to GIA instead of board rates which is around 3.3 for 12 months..pretty sucky..

dont want to go through the hassle of normal FD on other banks unless they have easy e-fd (call me lazy - i know)
*
Agree. E-FD is indeed very convenient. I am more willing to forgo 0.25% to 0.50% from some banks promo rate and stick to the 4% of GIA since my placement is not huge and more importantly I do not have the convenience to visit the bank so frequently.
Placing FD over the counter for board rates does not seem sensible
