QUOTE(aeiou228 @ Jan 7 2018, 08:49 AM) If your checking account has OD facility, your IBG timing can be extended till 4.59pm, the IBGed fund will cover up your OD before 11pm within the same day. No OD interest charge. Thanks for your valuable input. This post has been edited by gsc: Jan 7 2018, 12:00 PM

QUOTE(bbgoat @ Jan 8 2018, 04:40 PM) Below from GenX FD thread, same as I reported last week UOB only offering 4.08%, then this week 8/1 onwards go back to 4.2%. But in Dec 2017 UOB did offer 4.2%. Note UOB also changed 7 mth FD promo to 6 mth one. Again AmBank no more 4.3% 12 mth FD. [attachmentid=9492909] Received from Am bank on 8 Jan Am bank, min rm50k, 8 to 12 Jan 3 months 3.7% 6 months 4% 12 months 4.2% 24 months 4.25% 60 months 4.3% But it seems one member reported 4.25% for 12 months FD.

QUOTE(bbgoat @ Jan 10 2018, 08:58 AM) Ya, yesterday I mentioned that AmBank told me min 50k 12 mth 4.2%. I still moved my FD to HL for 4.3% on Monday. Also claimed for 1 lost day interest. It was credited into my SA on the same day.  But One member said 4.25% for 12 months, promo ends 14/1

QUOTE(gchowyh @ Jan 10 2018, 02:38 PM) Yes, that member is me  I too had to argue with the Ambank teller & showed my whatsap message from my RM before she asked her manager to double confirm the 4.25%. I also found out HL's 4.3% 12 months is still on but I was rushing for time, literally left my BC with the Ambank teller to process it for me & I even told her if really cannot get 4.25%, then i'll still take 4.2% as the manager was still checking at that time. So the outcome is 4.2 or 4.25% for 12 months

QUOTE(Mike3 @ Jan 11 2018, 03:15 PM) The first promo is for new customer (4.1-4.3%) The one gsc posted he wrote there for fresh fund (4-4.2%) Both also if not mistaken OTC.  HLB being so good lately. Macam wan lock down our money je. I think banks dont want to lose their existing customers when their FD are mature. Am bank Those made FD placements two years ago were having their FD mature end last year. Am bank came out with attractive rates and even allowed renewed with promo rate. HL bank Those placing eFD 7 months ago are having their FD maturing this and next month. HL bank, followed Am bank came out with two types of rate, FD renewal/top up rate and fresh fund rate. If the trends continue, CIMB will probably have promo in April and May. Bank Muamalat......

QUOTE(Mike3 @ Jan 12 2018, 08:58 AM) I think last year is because they want to maintain cash flow to debt ratio. If not mistaken, BNM wants banks to have higher ratio (more cash) therefore the best way would be FD promo. waiting to see HL got any better promos next mth  I am not referring to last year trend. My point is on current banks trend to retain those matured FD placed TWO years or 7 months ago.

QUOTE(newsreadr7 @ Jan 22 2018, 11:22 PM) i am wondering ... this FD investment/savings is 'practiced' by those employees in the O&G industries, where they earn big money, and their salary are being managed by the employers (paid into their next-of-kin's, in most cases, their spouses' account) During their employment period, some manage to pay off for their cars and even houses. and after a decade or so, some would return home and retired. these guys, despite they had retired, they could still survive - pay their bills, send their kids to school, and some even manage to 'balik kampung' on every occasion. i think they are now 'enjoying' the handsome interest of the FD, could that be possible? Assuming an employee that could earn around RM8k - 10k per month. Upon their retirement/retrenchment, at their young age (of, say, some still in their 40s), some of them manage to 'stay' as if they are still working. FD 4%, inflation 3.5%, net real effective FD rate only 0.5%, do you think the return is good enough from FD?

QUOTE(attentional @ Jan 26 2018, 08:39 PM) Guys. Stand Chart price solution called me and offer me cash advance from my credit card at 3.88% per annum. If i take that cash and put in HLB FD 4.3%, does it mean I'll make a slight profit? Sorry I'm not a finance guy, I need those with financial knowledge to help me. UOB offers 3.99% for 24 months. Longer payment term will get lower interest rate. Assuming 3.88% for 24 months loan. You need to pay certain amount every month. Conversely, take that amount as saving every month, using Excel worksheet, you will find the interest you earned is very likely higher than that of the 4.3% FD. The trap is when you miss one repayment, your interest incurred will be same as credit card interest...18% in general per year

QUOTE(attentional @ Jan 28 2018, 10:27 PM) I was thinking loan for 5 yrs for RM70k. One year interest rate 3.88%. 5 yrs interest rate would be RM70k x 3.88% x 5 yrs = RM13,580 So if i take that RM70k and put in FD, assuming every year I am able to renew at 4.3% pa, interest earned plus principle after 5 yrs would be RM86,401.16 (compounding interest) - RM70,000 loan = RM16401.16 So i still earn interest of RM16,401.16-RM13,580 = RM2,821.16 (over 5 yrs) Is my calculation correct? Actually this is my plan to force myself to save as I need to pay back my 70k loan monthly. End of 5 yrs I would have saved 86k. It is incorrect calculation. As I have said earlier you need to look at it from another angle. Assume you place the monthly repayment into saving account every month and earn the interest, you will find that you are losing out.

QUOTE(kradun @ Jan 28 2018, 10:56 PM) Sorry my bad, earlier example spread should be 1.70%. Based on ur sample above, the monthly repayment shall be 70k X 3.88% X 5 Yrs / 60 Months = 1393 per month. So assumed u can afford to save 1393 per month on monthly fd @ 3% p.a and compounded in 60 months, end of the day u shall have 90,278.00, which is more than 86,401.16 by nearly 4k. There is an incoorect assumption to use FD rate 3% for a 1393 monthly saving. For that amount, you need to use saving account interest rate for realistic comparison. Thus i do not think the spread is that high of 1.7%

QUOTE(Cookie101 @ Feb 6 2018, 02:51 PM) for all fd placement, it is a requirement to have CASA- this is BNM Ruling Part of AML/CTF - being a total biatch with the counter / staff is not really doing any good. also, dont think the staff themselves know about it- they are probably just taking instructions without knowing the reasoning behind it. This also part of CRS- perhaps for personal knowledge, you may want to read it up. pity those front line staff that got abused lol... and if you are not from local, they want a prove why you want to open the account at their jurisdiction- again, this is to AML requirement! if you can move the funds like ghost, there is high possibility of siphoning and money disapearing.. only through CASA there is proper trail BNM ruling to have CASA for FD placement??? First time heard about this! I never open a CASA for my FD placement unless banks offers monthly interest or it is stipulated in the FD requirements that CASA is needed to enjoy the promo rate.

QUOTE(bbgoat @ Feb 14 2018, 07:00 PM) Received hamper from Bank Muamalat for FD placed there. Personal delivery ! Happy CNY to ALL ! [attachmentid=9595312] You must have placed a lot there to take advantage of 4.5% rate which even with the recent increased in OPR, no bank can match that rate. Wonder what Bank Muamalat has to offer when those placed FD earlier will be maturing in 3-4 months from now. CIMB probably will do something to retain their existing customers with their unfixed deposit campaign of 4.2% last year. Am bank, HL bank both are having promo to retain their existing customers who have placed FD with them 2 years and 7 months ago respectively. Ocbc has increased their rate to 4.38% lately. I guess they must have encountered FD holders are leaving them the last 6 months.....some members are reporting receiving letters to top up the funds to remain as premier customers.

QUOTE(VinceCheong @ Feb 23 2018, 05:47 PM) Nah, not a dumb question. There are many ways. Assuming you haven't opened a new account. Banker's Cheque or Cash would be the fastest. Cash would allow you to place your FD on that day. If you just open a new account within a few days, then you could IBG or IBTF or RENTAS... Each of these services/methods incurs service charges of course. CASH would be FOC with the acknowledgement of higher risk to yourself. Banker's Cheque 53 cents up to 5~6 ish.. IBG 11 cents IBFT 53cents? RENTAS too much... lol HL charges RM2.00 + GST om IBG
