I managed to get 4.38% without any issues though the teller asked me who I got the rate from. I was targeting for 4.4%.
If you open the FD on Monday, you should still be able to get 4.38%, so far usually for Ambank, whatever new rate declared will only take effect from Tuesday to the following week's Monday.

kind to share any brochure or website links to that promo?

I think 4.4need some approval... normally easy to get 4.3%...4.35% easy to hit as preview as I told if your rm or manager will to help 4.38% should not a problem....

My RM said 4.4% is for renewal only, fresh fund only 4.38%.

Did the 0.02% really annoying you.?

Today went to AmBank to place FD. Initially the ABM wanted to see if need to ask for HQ to get 4.4% 12 mth FD. I said save her the trouble as the amt is small, no need to trouble them. Haha ! 

So ended just get the 12 mth 4.38%. gsc, so confirmed that AmBank fresh fund 12 mth 4.38%, no need approval. Fresh fund can still get 4.4% but need to get HQ approval.

Few has discussed about the FD/UT bundle. I got 9.99% 3 mth FD that was bundled with UT from CB some time back. I think it is just a sweetener to buy UT. Over here we should just focus on pure FD. 

So many into AmBank for the 4.4%.   I am looking elsewhere now. Got to spread out. Going to see if UOB, RHB and Alliance can get between 4.3/4.38 and 4.4 next week. 

Still waiting for banks to break the 12 mth 4.4%...........................

Ambank FD 4.4% (not only for signature), normal ppl also can take.

But need open Casa. I opened Basic SA non- fee , one time charge RM 12.72 (insurance), no need to pay annual debit card charges RM 10.60. Entitled for Internet banking.

which branch AMbank u visit? i just called ambank kajang, they told me the rate 4.0% for 6month and 4.2% for 12month

I asked AM Bank about 4.5% for 3 years, they said no such 4.5% promo..?
Only 4.4% for 1 year is available.

Is it usd fd protected by PIDM !?

Yes, they give it.

Yes, they give it.

Interesting question as the unexpected special public holidays for GE 14 plus weekend means banks closed from Wednesday 9 and re-open on Monday 14 for those states not following the Islamic weekend.

Please do tell us what actually happens at your CIMB branch when you redeem on Monday 14 May like how many extra days of interest and at what interest rate. Thanks.

Other forummers having FD maturing on 9, 10, 11 May - please update us on your experience, so that we will know what to expect in future. Thanks.

just place FD at ambank today, this week 12mth FD get 4.35% only

4.5% from Bank Muamalat was a lie.  "No such thing and who is saying that???!!!???", as quoted from the Head of Deposits when asked.

That Head of Deposits was visibly upset. 

As for the 4.2%, 4.35% from Bank Rakyat is confirmed correct.  Of course, subject to amount, the aforementioned rates can be negotiated. 

I did the same. 
I withdrew from Bank Muamalat, paid RM 2.80 for a check, then placed 1 year FD at 4.4% rate in Am Bank this afternoon.

No, 100% not true, you do not need to open Am Star account.
You definitely can use your existing True saver account to credit monthly interest from FD.

The AM Bank staff tried to “cheat“ you to open Am Star account, that was very bad of him/her..

I have Bank Islam's 2 years FD too.
No, Bank Islam basic saving account does not need to pay RM 12 annual fee, unless if you need the ATM card for internet banking.
If I remember correctly, the ATM card annual fee is RM 8.

My Bank Islam basic saving account calls "Akaun Simpanan Wadi'ah", minimum balance needs to keep RM 20, no annual fee.
When you open your Bank Islam saving account, you need to be very careful.

If your FD is joint name, and If you want to use internet banking, then the saving account cannot be joint name.
Because joint name saving account is not allowed to use (to link) in internet banking.

So, if your FD is joint name and if you want to use internet banking, then your "Akaun Simpanan Wadi'ah" saving account
has to be single name.

If you place Bank Islam today (24 May 2018), 2 years later, the maturity day is Sunday, so you need to ask Bank Islam will
they pay one day interest for Sunday or not?

If you place Am Bank today (24 May 2018), 1 year later, the maturity day is Friday, you will not lose interest.
