I think only can confirm from 2nd month whether interest is calculated based on initial 10k or 10k+1st mth interest

should be working. the normal eGIA works fine with compounding interest. all my certs are setup as such, including the promo rate (which i was interested if there's any difference, which it wasnt)  biggrin.gif

let's wait for month 2  thumbsup.gif
the rate displayed in M2U Web is special case for promo. generally all eGIA stated "declared on maturity date" in M2U, but will show the actual rate in M2U App (QuickBalance).

in M2U App QuickBalance, if you see 3.6%, it's promo rate. if you see 3.5% now, it's the standard board rate for GIA (effective from 16 January 2017 to 15 February 2017)

i ask you back tongue.gif have you tried to uplift using M2U App?

month 2 profit is in for the GIA 6-mth Promo. thumbup.gif

Is that need to complete questionnaires form on each placement to be made?

1st time user only. more like a disclaimer that you understood the risk and product features of GIA.

after this, a virtual GIA account will be created.

subsequent placement, easy peasy. each placement = 1 certificate under the virtual account.

is there a place for u to accept the risk & t&c?

perhaps u didn't agree, so it keep popping out the disclaimer n disclosure.

Ya. How to add on placement. I also face such problem. I have to fill in the questionnaire each time I make placement
*
interesting.

earlier, users were not presented with the questionaire. just normal placement.
then, users were presented with questionaire, but one-time only before placement.
now, users were presented with questionaire, before every placement. rclxub.gif

Yes, interesting indeed. I uplifted all my Placements yesterday, and did a placement too. No questionaires. I only need to do 1 time when I did my first placement some time ago.

read again la.

questionaire only for first-time user. somehow this time, it keeps popping up for them.

i dont get the questionaire ever cuz it was opened prior to mbb implementing the questinaire.

When I try to change interest credit to "add to principal" and input the TAC, the system tells me "unsuccessful - account is not authorised".
Is this expected and can I ring the hotline to ask them to grant authorisation? Calling them can take a long time for someone to take my call.

u used the "modify placement"?

when did u make the placement? today?

Manage your account > GIA > Modify> select all 4 parameters using drop down menu > Continue > Request for TAC

I made those placements last month.
*
u don't need to modify all 4 parameters. just modify the part relevant to profit crediting.

if still problem, retry later.

it won't impact ur placement unless near monthly maturity where profit will be declared into your SA.

will i get the new rate if FD placed before 15 Mar? or due after 15 apr?
*
First of all, gia is not fd.

The gia rate is between last month's 16th until this month's 15th.

Any placement within this period will be the stated rate.

It rate revised later, ur existing placement will get the revised rate accordingly, based on the new period cycle.

That means the rate is applied on daily basis, irrespective to when u place it.

Since GIA allows instant withdrawal with interests, does it make sense to put the money with the longest duration to get the highest interest as compared to monthly renewal?
*
No indifference.

Rate is applied on daily basis.

U put 60months doesn't mean u get upfront profit in full. Upon withdrawal, the profit is given on the duration of placement, even for 1 day.

Is there any problem if we have many placements (certificates) in GIA account?

why would there be?

if too much to handle, uplift and combine them back with new placement lo


if too much money , should put into FD with higher rate. use gia for short-term only, like 1-3 months.

if you have too much money and no plan to use it, FD is still the best.

check the FD topic, banks already offering 4%+ for 6-mth and 12-mth placements.

Anyone notice that if we credit the interest into principal, then it would lose the extra daily interest if withdraw before due date?
Anyone notice this or i seeing wrong number.

withdrawal day doesnt get profit (not counted) anyway.

here's what i've gotten for my withdrawal yesterday:

Amount (RM)Rate (% p.a.)Placement DateUplift DateDay CountProfit (RM)
1,100.003.451 Apr 201714 Apr 2017131.35

Total uplifted amount: RM1,100 + RM1.35 = RM1,101.35

Profit calculation: RM1,100/365*3.45%*13 = RM1.35

I am also interested to know. For one month tenure with "add to principal" interest, I see the principal increases each month. In longer tenure, the principal does not shown as increasing every month, but when you try to uplift, you see the higher principal reflected. Not sure whether there is compounding effect on the longer tenure deposits.
*
i suspected so.

the "add to principal" event only occur when it's "matured". if 1-mth tenure, then maturity is "monthly", so the profit will keep added to principal, and renewed again.

if 2-mth or 60-mth tenure, then "add to principal" would only occur after each maturity cycle of 2-month or 60-month. obviously, you'd lose some compounding profit.

in general, the "add to principal" is hidden in m2u, but only visible if you go [back] on the placement page. this is a m2u design loophole MBB didnt aware of laugh.gif


as such, daily profit calculation would be the same for all tenures, but will impact the compounding profit when applying the "add to principal" method.
