Very clearly written not covered by PIDM. Principal is not guaranteed.

I'm not a fan of FPX and not comfortable make a few FPX transactions a day. I thought there is new conventional FD at 4%

Haha, stickers, like what I did earlier !  tongue.gif

U did not go for RHB due to the FD offer ?  hmm.gif

I asked for a bankers check for my matured FD but the RM countered offered me with this 4%pa deal. So have to say sorry to RHB. blush.gif

She said the offer is until Oct 31 only, but I did not ask her what's the min amount. also she made a phone call to get approval from who I dun know. hmm.gif

Ya, I think better go for the rate instead of RHB's PB member get member campaign. For me I have met the requirement just need to apply and recommend family members to enjoy the RM388.  biggrin.gif

The alliance bank PB service is not bad. Everything is done within 10 mins. Also my previous FD matured on Saturday and she paid me the weekend interest. Additional money for me to buy kfc for my family today. thumbsup.gif

GiA involves investment, it is even riskier than non PIDM FD.
Not so serious to say a bank will go bankrupt. But in the case of major recession, the bank will honour FD first b4 GiA.

That's why within MBB, there is a difference in FD rate and GiA rate.
More risk, more gain.
Don't you all think so ??

GiA is a separate product which is not comparable to conventional FD.
*
Totally Agreed. IMHO I would say the maybank GIA is 99.9% safe. But you never know when a crisis going to strike. The million dollar question is whether you would take that 0.1% risk to get that 0.1% gain in interest with GIA?

GIA-i is not an ordinary "investment"

GIA-i is a islamic banking version of deposit that similar to conventional FD.

Islamic banking concept is profit sharing and non-guaranteed.
That's why in islamic deposit, interest rate term is not used, but profit sharing.
While islamic banking itself doesn't have guaranteed feature, and that's why it is not PIDM guaranteed.
*
Not true. Islamic banking Is also guaranteed by PIDM.

Yup. I would not take the risk for the extra 0.1% gain.
Prefer to have fixed interest for a fixed period of time which is known upon placement
Would rather to go for bond fund if willing to take higher risk.

Nevertheless, thanks CHERROY for posting the pros and cons of GiA.
*
0.1% gain is not significant. But I like the flexibility of Maybank GIA. If You deposit today and after some time you need money and withdraw they will give you interest based on the number of days. This is great.
