Just wanted to share, Be U is no longer offering Term Deposit at campaign rate. Rates go back to standard - starting from 1.95% to 2.15%

Sad to see it has ended. sad.gif Luckily, I managed to drag a few people to invest before it ended.

Got a reply from BeU customer service regarding the 3.75% campaign
Did not even clarify whether it is discontinued or the rate to be revised (if so probably is back to the original 2.1% rate which is a joke lol).

It is already mentioned here. ikanez is a Be U staff.

3.75% was also a playback, it was reduced from 4% and lasted for a few days.

I was unable to withdraw Be U term deposits. The app kept displaying " Your ID verification is in progress" and there is no option to cancel it. I am unable to perform any transactions, including viewing my term deposits and withdrawal of my matured fixed deposits. Have been calling their customer services whole morning but no answer.

I only contacted them once so far and used the "contact us" feature in the app, they called me back within a few hours. You could try this out.

BE U's rate might sound attractive but I am beginning to think it's not worth it to place any funds in there with all the effort, trouble and time wasted just to try to get them to do anything via CS.

As previously mentioned, tried to change bank account number linked to my Term Deposit:

1. No option in app itself which is a MAJOR FLAW
2. Calling CS via phone takes FOREVER. I have been in the same queue number for over 40-45 mins and it's always the same "We are experiencing a high number of calls and all our customer service officers are BUSY, please wait A MOMENT, you will be served SHORTLY. You are currently caller number 4". Wow, I didn't expect such THOROUGH service that each caller takes at least 20 mins?
3. Submitted a ticket, later received a call (FINALLY) to verify identity and all necessary procedures on 9th; was told will take 2-3 working days but till today, NOTHING. My term deposit in app still shows my Rize account linked to the matured Term Deposit without any in-process indication that any effort is being made for manual withdrawal request submitted.

In short, my money's trapped in there UNTIL they decide to get off their asses and change something on their end which in this case, runs on THEIR TIME. AND not to forget next Monday and Tuesday are public holidays. Such a GREAT service.  vmad.gif  mad.gif  vmad.gif

I think there is a need to tag ikanez for his attention.

Perhaps if you have a BeU Qard Savings Account-i, they may be able to resolve things faster. At least with the BeU Qard account you can Duitnow your money out to another bank.

When I first started to use BeU, the app prompted me to set up another bank account to receive money from matured FDs, or I should open an Qard account. Perhaps it was a blessing in disguise that my attempt to set this up was unsuccessful and I ended up opening the Qard Savings account.

Yes, Qard SA is also easy to maintain, can leave it RM 0 which I am doing it for my account. The reason why I applied for Qard is because I was annoyed by how I was asked to verify everything every time I applied for an eFD. If I had one Qard SA then I can skip all these, I straight applied one.

However, my existing eFDs haven't matured yet, so I can't really speak based on my experience what happens after they are matured.

I had 2 FDs matured and the fund was transferred automatically into my Qard Savings account. But in my wife's case when her FD matured, we waited for another day, still no fund was transferred to her Qard Savings acocunt. However she file a complaint via the app and within a couple of hours the issue was resolved.

Thanks for sharing your experience. So, it means having a Qard account may also prompt to an issue upon FD maturity. tongue.gif
At least, it is easy to do via the app.

If for short term 1-3 months, putting in like Versa is better than short term FD right?
