Placed Alliance 12 month FDi at 4.38%. No CASA. Very easy and good service. No sales pitch by RM like in Ambank.
my experience terbalik with yours
went to Alliance, die die need CASA, refused to do pure FD. walked out to Ambank nearby
Ambank 12mth 4.38% is for
existing customers with CASA! not necessarily existing FD or anything! tempted to open my own CASA, but the stupid bank "only" offer CASA with debit card + annual fee of RM8.48!

argue argue till malas to open CASA since i have no business with them except this FD placement anyway, so not really worth the trouble to upkeep the CASA.
jumped to
Ambank 12mth 4.35%. no need CASA, but need to let it auto-renew so that it doesnt auto-credit to CASA. downside is i need to monitor the maturity and uplift it later. i'm OK with this arrangement.
also put another fund back at PBB 12mth 4.28%. best part is, with existing joint-FD account, only 1 party can go and put a new placement. since money in PBB CASA already, staff asked to top-up 2k. no frill.
