QUOTE(Human Nature @ May 26 2020, 10:15 PM) Thanks for all the replies. Just realized that still need to go UOB this week to withdraw cash OTC to avoid CASA being dormant. June will be a heartache month as few FD maturing. Will divert a bulk of them into BR as their 2.75% 12m is the best bet for now. Their BR now isn’t revised to 2% for 12m now?

Withdrawal online when mature or set instruction to credit Casa upon maturity. Then, transfer out using IBG or DuitNow. Savings account will not considered as dormant as long as there is a credit to the account - you will achieve this when FD amount is transferred to your Casa. If want to be sure, just transfer rm1 from other bank account to this UOB Casa. This will avoid u to travel all the way to the branch during MCO or CMCO period.

I was going through the terms of the Hong Leong eFD promo. One of the terms says this: QUOTE 13. No profit shall be payable on premature withdrawals of eFD-i, regardless of the number of completed months at the time of premature withdrawal.
HLISB reserves the right to claw back and deduct an amount equivalent to the profit paid to the Eligible Customers in respect of the eFD-i Amount which is prematurely withdrawn from the principal eFD-i Amount upon withdrawal.
Customer(s) shall be deemed to have agreed to waive his / her right to claim the full selling price for any withdrawal of eFD-i before the maturity date. Never used islamic eFD before, but if premature withdrawal does that mean will lose part of the principal amount?

If your interest is paid monthly or quarterly to a nominated CASA.

There needs to be an OTC transaction. Refer here for Maybank https://www.maybank2u.com.my/WebBank/DormantAccount-FAQ.pdf4. How do I prevent my account from turning dormant? The simplest way is to ensure that there are some transactions being made in your account i.e to withdraw or deposit some money over the counter, even if it is a small amount.

Now what era, where got people still go to deposit or withdraw small amount at the counter. The staff will piss you off by asking you to do it at the CDM/CRM/ATM or do online.

I been dutifully doing it at UOB/OCBC/Ambank for few years already. You mean you guys don't do this at all and no dormant charge?

Reference to Harimau Bank, Sotong Bank, Siti Bank, Affin and UOB. The only account which I'm doubtful now is my BSN. Not sure what is the status for that BSN account but every 2 to 3 months, I got do online interbank fund transfer into it.

Normally if there got such FD promo, I'll be notified via SMS. Probably that team has been disregarded as non-essential perhaps.
