normally, after it matured, what rate is applied for those 2 days??

if saving rates, say 0.5%, RM 100k*0.05/12 x 2 days = RM 27.78??
*
You don't get any interest for those 2 days, as it's counted as a 'new' placement and you're doing early termination of the new placement.

Guys, my CIMB 4.1 FD is ending at End of June. Any delicious rate happening recently? I can accept 6 months -12 months but must be more than 4.1% biggrin.gif
*
Best deal still Bank Islam 4.65, interest every 3 months! It's a 24-month FD though.

Can I take the personal loan 3.7 precent and put it back to fd which is higher interest ?
Thanks for advise

Can. You'll lose money doing that. You can't just do 4%-3.7% and assume you'll make money.

HLB Digital Day E-FD on 7July 2018 is 4.37 for 3 months.

HLB Digital Day E-FD needs you to have hong leong online account right? BSA can? I used to have a dormant Mach account but was not valid.

you will make money.
but this is if you have enough money to pay back the monthly installment.
if you don't have enough money to pay back monthly installment, you cannot put full RM250,000 of the borrowed sum in FD.
that mean some of the money is not earning FD interest so you have to calculate the overall effective interest vs the borrowed sum.
*
That's what I meant by lose money. You will actually have to pump roughly 50% of the amount from other sources (your own money) if you want to put the full borrowed sum in FD. Not worth it.

If you have enough money to pay back the monthly installment, and you direct invest that money, you will still earn more.

Depends on source bank. Maybank doesn't impose a limit, others do. I transfered 55k in one hour for the HLB promo (30k, then 25k).

Can i just confirm, understanding the risk of asnb, which is quite low risk, we should put more in asnb right, once we have reached our quota then only try to find FD if our appetite is quite low risk.
*
If you're bumi, definitely first thing is to go ASN max out 250k before anything else investment wise.

just received a call from HLB........

informing us about a 3-month FD promo with 7.7%p.a. rate......

with T&C applied she said, without willing to disclose anything any further in that brief phone call (further details when we visit the bank...)

what's the usual catch apart from our money having to be fresh fund?
*
Must deposit same amount in CASA earmarked for 3 months. So effective interest rate only 3.85% or so for your total amount.

Surprised they extended, meaning didn't get enough depositors. Based on all the HNWI discussing in this thread moving 6 digit funds around I thought this Bank Islam amount should be very quickly taken up.

haven't opened account with islamic bank before, the high FD rates tempting me. any comments / watch outs for newbie?
*
If you bring cheque they won't issue you the cert until the cheque clears so you have to come back 2-3 working days later. So better you rentas across. Of course that might mean you need a savings account with them first.... If I had to do it again I would find a Bank Islam which is near to my source-of-fund bank (e.g. Maybank is next to it in KL Sentral I think), go to Bank Islam and inform them I want to rentas, open the savings account, walk over to maybank to do the rentas, come back to get the FD cert.

For me I had to come back 1 week later for my FD cert. And they won't open the FD for you without your signature in front of them, so effectively I lost about 4-5 days interest. Still worth it for the higher interest rate, but pissed me off. They did give me some mug and book as apology at least.

how to know whether interest is computer on all 365 days and not exclude wkend etc?
*
Definitely interest computed on 365 days a year. Money still theirs on the weekends. The only time weekends make a difference is when uplifting.

So for example 1 year FD from XX August 2018. If XX August 2019 is a weekend or public holiday, you can't uplift it then, so you will need to uplift after (not before, you'd lose interest). A few scenarios:-

1. Bank will pro-rate additional interest to you for the 1 or 2 days till the next working day. Normally only if you withdraw ngam ngam the next Monday (e.g. if you go on Tuesday to withdraw no extra interest). Also not all banks practice this.

2. No additional interest, on XX August 2019 the FD is considered new 1-year FD, so you are considered early withdrawal hence no interest on the 1 or 2 days difference.

Bank Rakyat 4.85% for 61 months that is a very very very long period, 5 years a lot of thing can change...
not dare to commit that...

the 4.5% for 11 months is fresh fund only..
now a day Bank Rakyat very very strict,
regardless how much your deposit amount or how much u top up, all the fund must be FRESH...
damn!!!!

planning to boycott Bank Rakyat,
jumping to Bank Islam...
but transfering huge sum of money is my big concern...

What's the concern? Traditional safe method is cheque (but have to wait and lose some days interest). Or just Rentas it.

i am from Singapore so it is kinda difficult for me to come over to Johor bahru. I currently have a 6 mth FD (4.1%) with Hong Leong Bank which has matured on 2 Aug 2018. i didnt have time to come over

-is there any good FD (around RM 255k) with decent rates from another bank which does not require me to set up a internet banking account? when i placed the FD with Hong Leong Bank 6 mths ago, I need to set up an internet banking ID which require a local phone number. and i need to activate this account before i could place the FD with the bank. I did not have a local number and have to borrow a local number from a malaysian friend just to set up an internet banking with Hong Leong so that i was able to activate it on the spot. i could have get a local number but i hardly use it and when i was at Hong Leong, took me 1.5 hour to complete the papers work so i didnt want to go through such long process if i switch bank this time round.

- i would like to stay with hong leong but was told Hong Leong insist on fresh fund.

Thanks
*
Best thing to do if you have a trustable friend is to rentas/transfer to that friend's account for a few days and then back to Hong Leong as 'fresh fund'.

Of course, your friendship must be worth more than 255k =p

Hi guys, my question is I have placed my 12 months HLB eFD in February and I just received my 6 months interest yesterday, can I withdraw my eFD now?

As I know HLB has the rights to  claw  back  and  deduct  an  amount  equivalent  to  the  interest of the eFD which is prematurely withdrawn, will they actually do that?
*
You expect the bank to NOT claw back even though T&C says they will? So kind-hearted ah?

Definitely will claw back from withdrawn amount. So if you placed 10k and received 6 months interest RMXX, if you uplift they can return to you RM(10000-XX). Or, depending T&C, I think more likely they give you RM(10000-XX/2) as a 50% clawback since you're more than 3 months.

Guys, How do you guys usually open the FD at another bank if you don't have an account there ? Carry cash?

QUOTE(Cookie101 @ Aug 29 2018, 08:50 AM)
No one knows unless you tell the world. Call a day or two in advance to reserve, otherwise those branches may reject withdrawal in cash. Unless it’s too heavy then rentas will be the solution.
*
Fact is when large amounts of cash is withdrawn, everyone sitting in the bank knows. That's why good RM (or just friendly bank staff) will always bring you to a private room if you're withdrawing large amount in cash. One phone call/SMS out and you're a target. Remember also that what is a 'large' amount differs according to people. For some, 5k is a lot, for some even 50k is small amount.

Not worth it. Use a cheque, use RENTAS, use anything else than cash.
