Any one goes for HL eFD 3.95% as tomorrow will be the last day....
i am checking on RHB FD 4.00% as well.....

look like no more pure FD attractive rate.... what would be the trend after Oct and Nov

I have put in for HLB eFD yesterday, it was much easier than going from one bank to another.
Initially I have not read the terms and conditions properly as funds are needed to be from another bank and not from HLB and transferred from Affin to HLB first. When I tried to initiate the eFD, then only I found out. So I transfer back to Affin and did the eFD placement the next day. I have wasted 22 cents for the transfers...lol.

How they even workout that effective rate?? That is so misleading!

At the placement of 1:1 , even renewal at same rate also not going to get you anywhere near that 4%  confused.gif

Perhaps someone can enlighten me... Maybe just go for UOB FD-  tomorrow 4% 12m

I'm doing a simple calculation based on months, might not be that accurate, but close enough, so don't flame me.

Let's say you are taking option no.1 which is 2 months @ 3.58% and 15 months @ 4.28%, placing $100,000 for example.
That means you are placing at $100,000.00 for 17 months.

The first 2 months your interest would be $100,000 x 3.58% per annum (=$3,580.00), divide by 12 months and then multiply 2 months = $596.67

The next 15 months your interest would be $1000,000 x 4.28% per annum (=$4,280), divide by 12 months and multiply by 15 months = $5,345.00

Therefore total interest you receive for 17 months is $596.67 + $5,345.00 = $5,946.67.

To get average interest amount per annum, you divide the $5,946.67 by 17 months and multiply by 12 months which is 5,946.67/17 x 12 =$4,197.65.

Therefore average interest would be $4,197.65 divided by RM100,000 and multiply by 100 (to get percentage) = 4197.65 / 100,000 x 100 = 4.19765% per annum (which is close enough to 4.2%)

The above is my understanding and should it not be correct, please by all means correct me.

Lol... wokay but... at placement rate of 1:1 , isn't it for $100,000 for for 2 months and another of the same amount at 15 months... that's what I am wondering on...

So losing the interest for the next 13 months for the first $100,000, or renewed at board rates... no?

Thank you for your calculation effort btw  thumbup.gif

Their hotline is telling about the CNY bundle product and has no idea about this at all...  dry.gif

My apologies, missed the 1:1 placement on the brochure....eyes failing me in my later years now..lol.

Anyway, I would think that the 2 months placement would be able to be up lift after 2 months. Previously they had another offer where it was 20/80 placement with the same plan where the 20% placement would be credited back to CASA after 2 months maturity, I had participated that plan.
