Did you clarify with them if "Rates are subject to change according to time"  applies to quarterly step up roll over too ?
*
I called Bank Islam in Sri Petaling again (03-9056-2939), according to Cik Iza, depositor will get effective rate 4.65% for this FD promo.

Below FD step up rates for this promo cannot be changed:
First 3 months at 3.8%, 2nd 3 months at 3.9%, 3rd 3 months at 4.2%, 4th 3 month at 4.5%...until last 3 months at 7% (or 7.1%..?)

I guess "Rates are subject to change according to time" applies to the above step-up rates (FD rate increase every 3 months..)

I will most likely open a saving account first (need to open anyway), then Rentas to make sure I will not lose 2 days interest

Bank Islam in Taman Sri Permaisuri does not know about this FD promo 4.65% at all.. biggrin.gif

I just placed an FD in Bank Islam. The rates remain the same.

Did Bank Islam give you the FD effective date after your check clearance?
Or they gave you FD effective date on the same day when you submitted your check?

Just back from Mbsb, I showed them the Bank Islam offer and requested for same rate, 4.65% for 2 years.  Finally got approval and made it.  So save the hassles to move funds around.

If anyone got big amount can try to nego with banks.  And pls share with us in the forum, thanks ya nod.gif

If your FD maturity day is Saturday or Sunday, MBSB will not pay you weekend interest until you talk to them.

MBSB has converted to a bank since this month:

Am50Plus 3 years at 4.5%, min 100k, fresh fund, monthly interest
Promo starts 16/4 and ends 30/4 or reach fund size
*
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.

Just went to Bank Islam and thinking to open one saving account to get ready for RENTAS tomorrow, but was informed
by Bank Islam that the maximum FD placement for 4.65% was RM 250K.

The female customer service asked me a lot of questions like: my house value, my car value, how much money I have, and many personal questions.

Bank Islam just called me, they said they received "approval" from HQ for me to place FD tomorrow.
But I have to give them a photostat copy of my FD cert as supporting document which is going to withdraw to convert to Banker's check tomorrow.

But now I am thinking maybe I place in AM Bank instead.. hmm.gif
No mood in Bank Islam already sad.gif

Already mentioned in my first post on 27 March as quarterly payment of interest.

Present recorded FD survey reference entry for those who know how to use such condensed info.

Bank Islam promo. Term Deposit-i Tawarruq (TDT-i) GO 7%.
p3m24, Q step (3.8+3.9+4.2+4.5+4.55+4.6+4.65+7)/8=4.65%. 50k-xk, 080218-300618. 290318-xd.
*
1st year: 3.8 + 3.9 + 4.2 + 4.5 = average 4.1%

2nd year: 4.55 + 4.6 + 4.65 + 7 = average 5.2%

First year return is not that good hmm.gif , only 2nd year return is attractive

Why the female customer service asked so many questions about money?

Yes, Malay.
Because my fund is more than RM 250K sweat.gif

I learnt the lesson, for the first time to open FD in a bank, it is better to place small fund first like not more than RM 100K

I think so, in between RM 50K to RM 100K is perfect.

Bank Islam promised when submit banker's check, FD cert can be effective on the same day but can only
collect FD cert after check clearance.

QUOTE(Deal Hunter @ Apr 16 2018, 09:59 PM)
Probably the  female customer service did not read/understand T&C 3.4 - no max limit for placement of this FD promo. Usually I find bank people mix up with other previous T&C and operational procedures even from previous bank job. They been doing the job so routine and think so expert no need to read their own T&C as assume always the same and never change. This is a very common "expert" mistake/problem when dealing with banks which is why often get contradictory answers (not fake/false answers).
Sometimes  it could be also a language translation problem or the T&C not clear enough or clear in the wrong way. In some cases, the T&C so long and detailed, that the writers also get lost and try to shortcut by simply sticking a clause here and there but end up with either outright mistakes or ambiguous situations where any sort of interpretation can happen.

I am not sure, but if it follows normal way, you will only get 3.35% if you do not do anything and they autorenew. Page 1 table of this thread mentioned 3.35% as the 12 month CIMB board rate. If you want a promo rate, you may have to go there. Best you telephone and ask first.

Bro,
Am bank 4.4% for 1 year VS Bank Islam 4.65% for 2 years
Which one is better?

Last time you mentioned bring cash to bank has the risk of getting fake note.. Good to remind us.. Thanks thumbsup.gif

Some told the fed and malaysia bank will increase the br again .. so that mean possibly of the fd rate will raise is high.. but for now the rate 4.65% still is the best to go... please remember this offer Requir rm50k while Ambank rm10k

Am bank pays straight 4.4%,

but we only get harvest for the 2nd year from Bank Islam
1st year: 3.8 + 3.9 + 4.2 + 4.5 = average 4.1%
2nd year: 4.55 + 4.6 + 4.65 + 7 = average 5.2% hmm.gif

And Bank Islam asked too much about my source of money.. very difficult to make decision in between these 2.。..

Your FD is effective on the same day when you submitted your check?
Or Bangkok bank wants to hold the check until clearance?

What brand is the luggage bag? How is the quality? What size?

Thanks

They hold until clearance so effective is later, forced me to make another trip to collect the cert >.<

Only received it last week, black colour 4 wheels hand carry size, should be 20' since they specified, didnt measure lo
Quality so so unbranded, got one jealous colleague say can buy at RM40 at GM Klang, dunno how true lol
*
I just called to Bangkok Bank's Ampang branch, the staff said no need to hold the check, FD will effective on the same day.. rclxub.gif

You placed your FD in Klang branch?

Next time you'd better call first before you place your FD.

I think RM 40 is impossible, the cheapest 20" luggage bag in the market is around RM 70 - RM 90

TQ for headsup. Free luggage for all maturities? If got say RM20K, can make 4 placements and get 4 luggage? Anyone tried ? icon_idea.gif
I just called ringgit plus, the staff said one luggage will be given to one name/applicant only;
for example, if you want 3 luggage, you need to get 3 different FD depositor names on 3 different FD certs respectively.

Anyway, the luggage bag promotion from ringgit plus is last day for today, but ringgit plus is not sure yet if this luggage bag
promo is still available or not until the end of May?

If you walk in the bank you will get FD that's all, they are not responsible for anything else

Did you need to open a saving account when you placed Bangkok bank FD?

At Bank Muamalat, maximum daily transfer that can be set is only RM 30k for online IBFT which is free.
This is supposed to work instantly usually unless some technical problem like system down or maintenance at that time.

IBG subject to the usual standard time delays, and also deduct 11 sen. Can also set maximum daily transfer to 30k.

CORRECTION - I just used the online IBFT today (14 May) and was charged the normal 53 sen. The call center explained that the free online IBFT was for a special promo from 1 April to 30 April 2018 and has now reverted back to normal 53 sen per IBFT (altho it still was free when i did previous IBFT at 8th May). doh.gif

Earlier last month was offered same rate before it was withdrawn. Can try your luck for substantial amount.

Otherwise bank Rakyat seems to be comparable for 2years and above tenure, though I’m not keen about it.

You mean last month Bank Muamalat offered 4.5% to renew but no more now?

What is 2 years FD rate from Bank Rakyat?

Thanks
