During GIA placement, before clicking confirm to complete the placement process, click back and you will have the option to credit the interest to the principal.

not working for me sad.gif

the "back" is the browser back button or the MBB system "Go Back" beside the "Confirm" button?
and what browser did you use? i am using Chrome.

Just do it like below except instead of waiting a day, just use IBFT back.
Why wait few days? You can straight do it on the day itself. Waste few days interest. whistling.gif Learnt it from sifus. No banker tell me this. They told me not ethical. My foot not ethical. t's my money.  mad.gif  mad.gif

Bank A - The bank which you want to put
1. Activate online banking
2. Set limit to RM30-RM50k (depending on banks)
3a. On the night before, perform a IBG to bank B (to save cost -RM0.11 only - money will arrive in bank B by 11am)
3b. Use IBFT to bank B (cost RM0.53 - money appear instantly)

Method 1
1. Go to Bank B ask for banker's cheque of RM20-30k pay to your name and IC
2. Pay few ringgit (depending on bank)
3. Bring banker's cheque back to bank A and tell them you want promo rate FD at x.x% rate.
4. Give them banker's cheque

Method 2
1. IBFT the money back to Bank A
2. Go to bank A and tell them you want promo rate FD at x.x% rate
3. Tell them fresh fund was just "transferred" from bank A.
*
for method 2, what's the time range allow for online transfer $ to be considered as fresh fund?
only instant transfer can be consider fresh fund?
if 3 days back someone credit some $ into my bank A SA account that's not a fresh fund?

Just to share my story.

I will say method 2 clearly it is a fund from another bank.
Sometime back over heard a uncle want to renew his FD but given a lower promo rate, he ask why not the fresh fund rate. The officer clearly said to him unless your fund from another Banks cheque only consider fresh fund.

As for my case I uplifted eFD (samebank)and transfer in additional fund/topup, the teller say its ok as for my case can consider fresh fund due to top up.

Definition might variable from person to person.
*
mind to share which bank and what's the amount uplift and top up please ?

hi sifu, on 5Sep i placed rm5K into MBB eGIA-i and chosen credit interest to principle, and on matured transferred to account. so yesterday (5Oct) when it's matured, i check in the transaction history it's showing RM5,014.72.

want to make sure i understand how the interest of RM14.72 comes in.

MBB GIA-i interest : 3.6% PA
Sep5 - Oct5 : 31days
how does the calculation work?

For auto renewal, the curent board rates will apply. To get promo rates, usually banks will require fresh funds or at least a top on the fd.

is there a website we can check bank board rate? or how do you usually check a bank board rate?

Their rates are displayed at the bank or you need to call up to ask.  I usually just let it run for one day and see how much the interest given is.
thumbsup.gif
can you elaborate more on the "let it run for one day and see the interest..." ?
say 10K last time put @ 4% interest, then yesterday matured so i see the ammount is now RM10400 for ez calculation.
so tomorrow what ever amount ontop of tht 10400 is the interest i gain and from there i will know the rate?

if interest add to principal, we won't get the compound interest?
