Quick question for those that have uplifted prematurely (since I haven't done this before)

Let say you place for 6 months but do a full upliftment after 5 days. Do you still get interest for that 5 days?

Thanks. Another noob question: Do you get the interest immediately upon upliftment or do you need to wait till end of a month?
(Since it says on the website that Payment of profit is on monthly basis)

Is it possible to make a placement over the counter via cheque and do uplifting the next day? If yes, this would be awesome as some foreign bank has 2 days float

No la, what I actually meant was, let say u have a large fund in Citibank. And you want to place that amount in e-GIA. If you write a Citibank cheque and deposit it into your MBB acc, it would take 2 days before the fund is available for u to place it. You are gonna lose 2 days of interest. Now assume u straight away open a GIA with that cheque over the counter. Is that possible? If yes, then the next question is for the GIA you place over the counter, can you do the upliftment via M2U?

Placement over the counter for GIA is definitely possible if you read the T&C:
http://www.maybank2u.com.my/WebBank/gia141016_tnc.pdf

"GIA campaign placements can be made over the counter (OTC) or via online platforms i.e. web or
M2u application. It is compulsory for customers to have either Deposit or investment account with
Maybank for profit payments"

The question is can you do placement by cheque? I have done that before for FD, cheque from other banks.

Yes...can you then do the upliftment on M2U for the OTC placement?

Exactly, that was my question. I remember from my experience that FD is dated based on the day the cheque is deposited. But that was another bank. I never done it on MBB

I see, not that useful then...what we want is the ability to uplift online, hehe
