with a big "call us for more info", probably there are some other products attached to the FD rate.

Haha, lazy to call them. Thought got kakis around bangsar area to pop by. well... Bank Rakyat gives 4.7 i think for quite a long tenure... So this MAY or MAY not be bundled with those sneaky investment products. OR probably this particular branch experience a huge outflow of cash from their accounts, and need some sort of enticement method to capture new people? smile.gif

I heard SCB gives 4.5% up to 250k for new-to-bank customers. But have to open a Priority Banking account, recently. I may be wrong or it may be word of mouth circulation.

Assuming RM100k is to be placed into FD.

To my understanding, depositor will just transfer RM100k from Bank A to Bank B using RENTAS (OTC/ATM). Apply FD in one account. Upon maturity, transfer using RENTAS again.

But if opt for convenience, Instant Transfer (Internet/Mobile banking) is better right?
Due to daily transaction limit (RM50k?), need to break down the money into smaller portion. For example, place RM30k at Bank C, RM30k at Bank D, and RM40k at Bank E, rather than all focus in one bank.

Concern is RENTAS may need long queue. But splitting into smaller portions also mean need to go to banks many times.

Any comment?

By doing this, it's a lot more convenient for us because we can do it all via online, rather than driving/parking/extra overhead cost of "banking".

But, sometimes most of us are 'hunting' for the best deals, and usually to achieve these good deals almost always requires our fund to be "fresh funds". and to get those good rates, we have to go OTC ourselves to physically get that rate.

UNLESS if we can do that online, most of the time all placement done online are almost always on board rate, and seldom promo rates.

So YES it's very convenient, but you'll still have to be present at the bank itself. So might as well go for the hassle of physically getting a Banker's Cheque in the morning, and head to the next good deal to deposit, and lock in at that rate on the same day.

What does this means? Can you explain more?
Is that mean in coming year, the FD rate reduce?

In other words, the possibility of rate cut(s) in the near future is inevitable. Rate cuts promotes spending as loans get cheaper to finance, but bad for savers and FD as their interest rates declines.
But if you have locked in your FD with X period at high rates, then you're pretty much quite safe.

Don't try to show off here !! Good for you only ...
Do you ever think off those retiree which no boss want to hire & only depends on the FD interest to SURVIVE ??
read properly it is Surviving only, Sick also can only begger at government hospital, wait long long queque, pain also have to tahan, cannot complaint to nurse, else kena marah, sudah hampir Free punya charges, apa mau lagi, mau cepat pergi private lah !! We cannot afford to visit private hospital, even though like KPxx, Columbxxa, medium range cost, chin-chai2 cost you RM180-250 per normal visit doctor, not admit to ward that kind !!
Normal fever, cough to see private clinic also cost RM60-80, if need injection, chin cai have to pay RM150 then only can walk out from clinic, we hv to pity our clinic doctor also, I got see the bill, doctor consultation fee is only RM20-30, other are mainly medicine & other misc

Want to die pun not easy, a cheap cheap funeral (2 night, 3 days) plus a place to put "bone powder" can cost you RM25K, note, very chin-chai one, those paper house, car also not good quality (can see from your own eye), joss paper burn for dead people also limited supply, friend & relative can only got plain water & peanut, not food/ kiuh will supply. Place to burn the body also go to government one, the place to put the "bone powder" also under charity like Persatuan Cina Kwong Tung/ Hokkian that type.
Nirvana (Fu Kwai) or other private,a "single" place alone, cheapest ("foot level") also cost RM10-15K, not yet ceremony & etc.
You ada paham a bit now ??

Don't need to be so savage. You gotta be racking at least 1000k to be able to 'survive' minimum on FD alone @3.5% a year. Yes a lot of depositors will be annoying at this cut, but there's plenty around that would save a lot of buck re-financing their mortgages. Most of us here are trying to help each other finding the best rates and deals in town, and we have to thank DealHunter the most for his invaluable time and effort to be window shopping for us.

With all due respect, I don't mean to offend. It is fair to say that I've eaten lesser salt than rice.
I've never implied that I have 1000k to parade around, just the assumption that the cost of living in KL would need to be higher than 3K a mth.

Explained before.
p1 is interest paid monthly. If effective date is 24 May, then interest creditted into your named casa account on 24 June, 24 July etc.
p0 is payment of interest on maturity.
p3 is payment of interest every 3 months.
p6 is payment of interest every 6 months.
p01 is payment of interest at maturity or monthly up to your choice.
You get the idea. Like p663m15.
It is compulsory to have a casa account if it is not p0. Your bank may have different rules about the kind of casa account that can be used for creditting interest.

Some banks are even introducing compulsory casa for p0, and even changing from auto renew at board rate to automatically credit principal into casa  account on maturity. This is much better than uplifting renewed FD at board rate and losing all new interest due to penalty for early uplift of new renewed FD. At least get some savings interest and do away with bother of uplifting and making it easier to transfer out the money.

this has been explained before. simply search "p01" and you will get all info.

It’s quite confusing to understand, but here’s the link if you can’t find thru the searches. It took me a while to understand too. smile.gif
