Under Mbb merdeka promotion.
*Should there be any Overnight Policy Rate (OPR) change, the offer rates may be revised.

What is the meaning ?
They able to change the currently rates if we already placed an account?
or the rates on board ?
*
If u have locked-in, they won't change

Unlikely as OPR is going to be cut some more. Even the highest Affin (4.05% now) will be reduce.

In tis respect, need to lock-in slightly longer tenure

Bangkok bank 4.1% still the highest for straight forward 12m FD, but not many ppl seems interested. Is it due to far distance or long waiting time to process ?

Ya, the MBSB one was in Aug 2015. My first ever placement with MBSB. Now looking back, should have placed for their 5 yrs one. Anyway, history !

Dun regret
Perhaps u may consider to lock-in 5 years now in anticipation of lower interest rate next year

From what i read and gather, look like 3.95% and 4.05% per year are the most attractive FD interest rate  ..... so the winners go to
HL Bank and Affin Bank...... any objections......
question should we banks that has very less branches or no PIDM .....
*
PIDM is just for mental comfort only whereas logistics (i.e. less branches) is 1 of d factor to consider

I got roughly around 30k to play with after it matures. I'm going to keep 10k as an emergency fund in a savings in case my dad gets sick. And 20k to be invested every month in

Manulife india.
RHB Asian income fund
Rhb total return fund (small percentage as it's a fix income)
Malaysian small cap.

Will wait it out if I can take up TA US.

It beats FD rate anyway
*
B cautious on RHB TRF as 1 yr return is ard 3%

Yeap exactly. I parked around 4k in there so it's already way too much for my comfort zone. I'll try to talk to any of the girls in maybank and ocbc if they can offer me a rate I'm comfortable with.

Wat is yo expectation?
