anyone know how to transfer my online fixed deposit amount to my saving account after e-fd matured on hong leong bank ?

Before matured there is an option for withdrawal. But upon maturity, this withdrawer button was removed ?

I hope my calculations are correct:

Total 100K Deposit, 90% to FD and 10% to Affin Gold

(1) After First 6 Months
90K FD Interest at 4.58% = RM 2061
10K in Affin Gold Interest (0.85% + 2.15%): 21.25 + 53.75 = RM 75
Total interest earned: RM 2061 + RM 75 = RM 2136 auto deposit to Affin Gold

(2) After Second 6 Months
90K FD Interest at 4.58% = RM 2061
RM 12,136 (Initial RM 10K + RM 2136) in Affin Gold Interest (0.85% + 2.15%): 21.25 + 76.71 = RM 97.96
Total interest earned: RM 2,061 + RM 97.96 = 2158.96 auto deposit to Affin Gold

(3) After Third 6 Months
90K FD Interest at 4.58% = RM 2061
RM 14,294.96 (12,136 + 2,158.96) in Affin Gold (0.85% + 2.15%) : 21.25 + 99.92 = RM 121.17
Total interest earned: RM 2061 + 121.17 = 2182.17 auto deposit to Affin Gold

(4) After Fourth 6 Months
90K FD Interest at 4.58% = RM 2061
RM 16477.13 (14294.96 + 2182.17) in Affin Gold (0.85% + 2.15%): 21.25 + 123.37 = RM 144.62
Total interest earned: RM 2061 + 144.62 = 2205.62

Total interest earned in 2 years: RM 8,682.75 (2136 +  2158.96 + 2182.17 + 2205.62)
Effective rate 4.341375%
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Total 10K Deposit, 90% to FD and 10% to Affin Gold

(1) After First 6 Months
9K FD Interest at 4.58% = RM 206.10
1K in Affin Gold at 0.85% = RM 4.25
Total interest earned: RM 206.10 + 4.25 = 210.35 auto deposit to Affin Gold

(2) After Second 6 Months
9K FD Interest at 4.58% = RM 206.10
RM 1210.35 (Initial RM 1000 + 210.35) in Affin Gold at 0.85% = RM 5.14
Total interest earned: RM 206.10 + RM 5.14 = RM 211.24 auto deposit to Affin Gold

(3) After Third 6 Months
9K FD Interest at 4.58% = RM 206.10
RM 1421.59 (1210.35 + 211.24) in Affin Gold at 0.85% = RM 6.04
Total interest earned: RM 206.10 + RM 6.04 = 212.14 auto deposit to Affin Gold

(4) After Fourth 6 Months
9K FD Interest at 4.58% = RM 206.10
RM 1633.73 (1421.59 + 212.14) in Affin Gold at 0.85% = 6.94
Total interest earned: RM 206.10 + 6.94 = 213.04

Total interest earned in 2 years: RM846.77  (210.35 + RM 211.24 + 212.14 + 213.04)
Effective rate: 4.23385%

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yes, this Affin FD promo is quite misleading. Too bad our Malaysian laws are not straight...  vmad.gif
RM 10K deposit cannot get 4.28% effective rate, I think only if put at least RM 50K probably can get effective rate 4.28%
[attachmentid=9039257]
*
My opinion on your effective yield calculation. I will take your calculation for the 10k deposit as an example.
4.23385% should not be the true per annum effective rate i.e. % p.a. Because interest has been compounded into the second year.
The actual effective % p.a. should be the first year calculation, that is 210.35 + 211.24 = 421.59 = 4.2159% p.a.

There is an easier way to calculate the approximate per annum effective rate when banks trying to confuse depositors with the stupid 90:10 ratio thingy.
[ (4.58 x 9) + (0.85 x 1) ] / 10 = 4.21% (approximate rate bacause half yearly compound interest was omitted)

Oh..  doh.gif  You are right. Thank you for your correction.  thumbsup.gif

So, RM 10K's second year effective rate is higher than first year effective rate if no withdrawal from Affin Gold in 2 years.
Second year effective rate is 4.2518%  (RM 212.14 + RM 213.04 = RM 425.18 / RM 10K)

Now if we compare to RM 100K FD with Affin Gold and no withdrawal in 2 years:
First year effective rate is 4.294% (2136 + 2158.96 / RM 100K)
Second year effective rate is 4.38779 (2182.17 + 2205.62 / RM 100K)

Are above calculations correct?  sad.gif
*
The second year effective rate should not be 4.2518%. My calculation is 4.0798%. Here's how I derived the figure:
[425.18 x 100] / 10,421.59 = 4.0798%

Therefore,
1st year effective rate is 4.2159%
2nd year effective rate is 4.0798%

The drop in 2nd year effective rate is due to the FD:CASA ratio is no longer 90:10 in second year FD. The principal in lower interest (0.85%) side of Affin gold account had increased from 1000 to 1421.59 at the beginning of 2nd year and further increased to 1633.73 at the second half of 2nd year, while the 4.58% FD side still remain the same at 9k in 2n year.

Most certainly. One thing for sure, it enables them to push up the advertised rate as high as 4.58% with the ratio thingy.

Sorry to jump in here with a non FD question.

What accounts can I use for some spare money which I don't need till early next month?

FD cannot as it will be less than a month.

Checked MB MDA-i, but it is for monthly.

Thanks.

I received this same SMS about 1 months ago.

I called them and after some identity verification, the CIMB agent said I need to maintain minimum RM 3400.00
in my CIMB basic saving account, then I will get extra 3% bonus in my saving account starts from July until December 2017.
so my total interest is 3.25% (0.25% + 3.00% bonus). This extra interest bonus will only pay during next year in
January or February 2018.

You have to call this number in order to confirm your are interested to participate in this extra bonus campaign.
now I put all my extra money to CIMB saving account.

I just opened a CIMB internet banking with my free debit card.

I called to CIMB this 0322036201 again less than 1 minute ago, the CIMB agent said this extra bonus 3.00% campaign
starts from July 2017 until end of January 2018. Interest bonus will pay in February or March of 2018.

Thanks for the info. I've got a CIMB current account which pays me 2.30%. Add extra 3% bonus = 5.30%. drool.gif
Sure bo ? Any limit or cap in the TnC?

CIMB agent only told me I just need to keep minimum RM 3400 in my saving account until January 2018 in order
to enjoy extra 3.00%.

For your case, you have to call CIMB to find out. Please let us know if you can get 5.3% 
Good Luck  thumbsup.gif

Now I recall, I received this SMS in June, about 2 weeks before July..

Just called them. Here are the infos:
1. My 3% bonus ends on 28Feb 2018.
2. Yes it's 2.3% + 3.00% = 5.30% for 6 months.
3. 3.00% bonus only apply to minimum incremental average balance.
4. Whatever exiting balance in the casa before today will not enjoy the 3% extra bonus.
5. No mention of maximum amount.

Very good deal man..  thumbup.gif

3. 3.00% bonus only apply to minimum incremental average balance.
4. Whatever exiting balance in the casa before today will not enjoy the 3% extra bonus.


For example, if today I have RM 3400 in my CIMB saving, this existing RM 3400 will not enjoy
any extra 3% bonus, only any amount more than RM 3400 will enjoy extra 3% bonus.
Is this explanation correct?

Did you ask when you will start enjoy this bonus?

Just now when I called, my 3% bonus starts from July 2017 until end of January 2018, total 7 months..  hmm.gif

Thanks for your info..

1) Promo run from 20th July.
2) Average balances in your account on the month prior to the call made to that phone number is your baseline. Then baseline will be subtracted from the incremental average balance (IAB). IAB must be min 3k after minus baseline.
3) can enjoy 6 months starting from the calendar month you made the call.

I had RM 3400 (baseline) in my saving account on the date I called.
So I must have at least RM 6400 (RM 3400 baseline + RM 3000 IAB) in my saving account in order to enjoy extra 3%..?  sad.gif

(1) Let's say if to put RM 10K to earn 3.25% for my case:
First RM 3000 earns 0.25% = RM 3.75 after 6 months
The remaining 7k will earn 3.25% = `RM 113.75 after 6 months
3.75 + 113.75 = 117.5 x 2 / 10k = 2.35% effective rate p.a.

(2) Let's say if to put RM 100K to earn 3.25% for my case:
First RM 3000 earns 0.25% = RM 3.75 after 6 months
The remaining 97000 earns 3.25% = RM 1576.25 after 6 months
3.75 + 1576.25 = 1580 x 2 / 100K = 3.16% effective rate p.a.

This game needs to put more money then worth it to play..  hmm.gif

Yes, not worth it in your case. Unless you open a new current account that gives 2.30% and start with zero baseline. Then you will enjoy true effective 5.30% returns. Each block of 100k yield you RM2650, 99% risk free, PIDM up to 250k, where to find wor....

Regarding the HLB monthly interest, apparently since last mth, they have changed the T&C.

I renewed on July 11th, and interest payments will only be done at the end of 6 mths or 12 mths,
so no more monthly interest.

Confirmed this at the branch today in Sri Petaling (for my certs anyway) even though I never
changed anything when i renewed.

Auto renew FD will not extend the promo benefits into the new term. Once your FD completed the promo tenure and auto renewed, interest rate will be revert to board rate and interest payment frequency will also revert to standard policy which is every 6 months for long tenure placement.

Penalty for premature withdrawal is the common term the bank use for the reversal of the 3 days accrued interest.
As for Fixed Rate Penalty for premature FD withdrawal ? I've never come across and I don't think so.
Which bank charge fixed rate penalty ?

my lesson learnt is do not opt for auto-renewal.
this way we can redeem anytime after maturity date. just that the monie(s) just sits there la if we slag to redeem-on-dot or/ like cimb's (recently), upon maturity, principal+interest earned will be auto directly transfer to SA acc

Oh RHB, I had a few days premature withdrawal after auto renewal with them few months ago, no such problem.

It seems that Am bank practises what public bank was doing, need customer request otherwise will not be paid.

I do not want to go back to the branch. The lady behind the counter say will email to the branch to request one day FD interest. Will monitor to see will the bank pay the interest.
Anyone has similar experience?

Same here. My 4.6% FD matured yesterday and today i asked the staff for the 1 day backdated interest. But to my surprise, I was told the branch opened for business yesterday, first and last weekends of the calendar month. Damn ! no ground to argue sad.gif and there goes my free lunch today. moneyflies.gif

To those who took up cimb money multiplier 2.3% + 3% 6 months bonus campaign, you might as well sign up 6 months earmark and get the free Irova robot vacuum. I heard cimb going to extend the free gifts campaign.

Went to branch and asked, the earmarked 6 months money will not count towards normal CASA interest (0.2%?) so it will not count for the top up multiplier as well.
Calculated the gifts campaign, RM30,000 for a RM300 Air Fryer equals 2% p.a which is pretty shitty considering you cant touch the money unlike the multiplier, there will be penalties or return of gifts if you do so
*
I don't understand what do you mean by "No Count". You mean CIMB will not give the savings interest for the earmarked amount ?

I checked again with CIMB, you will still earn whatever promised interest or bonus interest on your CASA's earmarked amount and the gifts is additional reward under the SAVE AND GET campaign.

The TnC for the SAVE AND GET campaign is pretty straight forward, earmark and don't withdraw within 6 months.
For those took up the extra 3% bonus interest campaign, since their money is going to stay in CIMB for 6 months for maximum interest, might as well sign up the 6 months earmark and get the extra free gifts for nothing.

Here is the TnC for SAVE AND GET campaign
