I was trying to double confirm that Be U is protected by PIDM but surprisingly I couldn’t find Be U on PIDM website.

If yes, the limit is same with Bank Islam or separately count?

For term deposit, it's item No. 7, I think.

But yea, they should have displayed the deposit product codes on their T&C document...

I mean when I browse PIDM website, I don’t see BeU on the list, only Bank Islam. And is the 250k protection applicable for each BI & BeU or jointly?

Hmm BeU is a digital bank product under Bank Islam, just like Rize is under al-Rajhi. Rize does not appear in the PIDM list, but al-Rajhi does. The same should apply to Bank Islam?

As for the 250k protection, uhmm need to ask other sifus tongue.gif

hi everyone.

just wanted to share. starting september, the 12-month 4% rate will no longer be available via branches. however it will still be available via the Be U app, until 31/12 (or once we hit allocated cap, kinda like GX)

can refer for details for the campaign: https://getbeu.com/campaigns/BeU-TermDeposit-i-Extra

feel free to DM for more info on TD, or any other general feedback (ie. things to improve, wishlist) about the app.

thanks!

p/s: i work at Be U.

So you will let us know when the allocated cap is hit? tongue.gif

I have FDs due in November, and worried that cap is hit earlier than expected.

term deposit, by it's very definition, is about locking the deposits for a fixed amount of time.

if i understand you correctly though, what customers essentially want is a combination of good rates + liquidity. i can agree to that statement.

in any case though, i appreciate the feedback. thanks for that. i will take it up to our product team, see if there's anything we can do to improve/build in the future. smile.gif

Yea, your competitor Rize is about to end its promotion campaign by end of this month. Try to challenge them by offering something like 3.8% p.a. no frills liquid saving accounts. tongue.gif

Minus 20 basis points for the liquidity premium (over the 4% 12-month FD) and I think that's still acceptable.

Transfer from BI to BeU limit is 30K per day. Even though both acc under same name, they are considered third party transfers. You can set/see the limits in your BI settings. The have the intention to link Beu to BI at a later date, I was told.
The funny thing is you can access Beu at their ATM, deposit/withdraw is possible without atm card or debit card. I have tried deposit but withdraw haven't tried yet.
The even funnier thing is at the BI counter, they cannot see/access Beu accounts.

Do you see the word "bundle" appearing?

These are marketing tactics... they banks bundle "high yield FDs" with saving accounts with a predefined ratio of say 70:30, because the saving accounts have lower yields, overall the effective rate is nowhere close to the 5-6% promised, it's more like 4% p.a. only...

A dirty tactic from the banks to encourage more people to open saving accounts with them (because they know inertia means you won't close the saving account thereafter...)

Not sure if you guys follow the MalaysiaPF reddit thread. Now there is this online FD comparing tool, inspired by the SG's equivalent...
