Ya, I know the per txn limit for the FD amount.. but, I experienced that SCB only allow max of 50k based on interbank daily transfer limit, n MBB interbank daily transfer limit is only 30k (even though most bank giving 50k max), so I want to check whether FPX is considered as interbank transfer to MBB or not as I rmb someone told that MBB didn't look at the interbank transfer  limit for FPX, but can't find the details by searching FPX here..

Anyway, thanks for ur confirmation.. I've split into 2 banks to do my placement this morning..

cimb does not care about old or new funds.

just did 2 days ago 4.30% pa, 1 yr.

good thing is u can do at any cimb branch.

no need cheque; just ic and sign debit note.


hong leong 4.2%, insist on fresh funds.

just saw this, thanks.


moving money between banks can be a real pain, even via FPX.

Q'ing up at banks is something i wanna avoid.

so, those rates for existing funds, while not the best, offers much convenience.

Just did the routine check on the online offers at Hong Leong. Appears there was some changes for their 1 Sep to 31 Oct 2022 TIA promo.

3m from 2.65 % raised to 2.75 %. (Normal TIA 2.40% now).
6m from 2.95 % raised to 3.05 %. (Normal TIA 2.55 % now).
12m from 3.20 % raised to 3.30 %. (Normal TIA 2.40 now%).

CORRECTION thanks to Kinwawa tip on how to access eFD promo.

On the eFD and eFD-i online, normal rates available for various months ranging from 1.80 % for 1 mth to highest normal rate at 2.25 % at 6 mths to 60 mths.

eFD and eFD-i online,
3m from 2.55 % raised to 2.65 %. (Normal 2.20 % now)
6m from 2.85 % raised to 2.95 %. (Normal 2.25 % now).
12m from 3.05 % raised to 3.15 %. (Normal 2.25 % now).
18m from 3.30 % raised to 3.40 %. (Normal 2.25 % now).

Please inform if the rates above are wrong or are raised again in response to the very strong competition from the other banks which makes the above rates no longer competitive.

u know what TIA means, right?

like all other TIA, the rates are higher becos they r tied to investment, and deposit is not covered by PIDM.

shud be safe but some people wanna be v vv safe. biggrin.gif


i just checked HLB connect... yep, latest 12m eFD is 3.15% p.a.. not too bad...

To be honest, lots of currency are losing against the US due to their aggressive interest rate hikes.

that is true... relatively to other currencies, not too bad.

the problem is we import a lot of food - incl rice and chicken - higher imported inflation, will get worse if they cut subsidies.

more people will get poorer... hence the current catch phrase - "B40 has become B60".

thailand, vietnam, india, china are net food exporters, less teruk for the common folks.

Do you have the link for this ?
I only found 3.5% for 18 months

ya, u gotta be careful what u read! biggrin.gif

that is TIA, not FD or eFD.

in this thread, TIA is often mixed with FD, not just FD.

as the name suggests, TIA = term investment account; it usually is tied some investment thingy, typically not covered by PIDM insurance.

maybank, public bank, cimb... max 3.55-3.65% then.

Ambank, RHB, HLB 3.75-4%.

MBSB, BR 4.5%...?

but generally, will go up.

Ambank requires app approval. RHB & MBSB require it for transactions above 10k. More and more banks are moving to secure app approval lately due to all the scams, so there will be more banks than these 3 banks mentioned.

2 friends, who are more knowledgeable, told me that app is actually mores secure than SMS, since it is direct from Bank to you, without going via phone line. Any comment? smile.gif
*
whatever app u use, u need an internet connection.

what i read n understand so far...

.. proprietory bank apps are definitely more secure than normal websites.
.. mobile phone apps are most secure if u use wifi at yr own home as the router has encryption giving a second layer of protection.
.. mobile phone apps using telco line when outside may not be so secure as hackers have known to have hacked them too.
.. mobile phone apps least secure if used with public wifi, hotspots.
.. desktops are secure if using home connect, own router.

pls correct me if u have latest findings...

ya la no new info, old rates already mentioned MBSB 3.90 and 4 %
and BR latest 3.55%

others all lower

if got higher rates  sure people will update

for now, nothing new.

US fed expected to raise another 1.25% by year end.

RM/$ now at 4.62... expectations it will go to 4.80 by year end.

at that time, BNM may hv no choice by to raise 50 or 75 bps.
