Hold on your money.
Possible 2 interest hikes on 2018.
1st on 25 Jan 2018, 2nd within 2018.
Just my 2 cents.

Finally, Bank Negara raised the overnight interest rate by 0.25%. (As I expected per my previous post)

Expect FD rate of 4.5%, 4.55% or even 4.6% to come back again!! Good luck.

Bank Rakyat does not have any eFD, until today. All their FDs need to place over the counter and there is no option to credit to saving account upon maturity, you either let it renew at board rate or withdraw it over the counter.

Affin Bank discontinue their 4.48% 9:1 ratio promotion last 31 August 2019. They are going to further lower down their 13 months+ 4.15% promotion to 3.95% after 25 Sept 2019. Be hurry if it concerns you.

Probably, within the next 4 to 6 months time, our FD will be 0%.

Not likely, BNM don't want to see funds flow to foreign countries.

For all Affin bank OTC FD placement, you can choose auto credit to account upon maturity. No need to go branch to redeem it.

If i were you,.. I would just put into sspn instead of hunting or parking at the banks locking your money while waiting for opr to rise.

If i am over 60 or have trustable parents who are over 60,... I would park in kwsp first before sspn.

Does SSPN refer to Skim Simpanan Pendidikan Nasional? Any specific treads in this forum discussing about it?

I am trying to open one.

But i don't understand these questions.

1. Are you a Non-U.S. Foreign Tax resident?      Yes  No
    2. Do you have Non-U.S. foreign residential/mailing address (including a P.O. box address in a Non-U.S. foreign country)?      Yes  No
    3. Do you have Non-U.S. foreign telephone number and do not have any Malaysian telephone number?      Yes  No
    4. Do you have any standing instruction to transfer funds to account maintained in Non-U.S. foreign country?      Yes  No
    5. Do you have any power of attorney or signatory granted to a person with an address in Non-U.S. foreign country?      Yes  No
    6. Do you have hold mail address/in-care-of address in Non-U.S. foreign country which is the sole address?
I assume it should be "No" for all, right?

Also, do i need to transfer money into my savings first? Because it ask from where the money is coming from. It is not taking FPX from other banks?
*
Yes. I answered "No" for all 12 Q. (for >99% Malaysian, should be that way).
Not take from your saving account, click 3rd option, eTDi FPX from other bank. Only the 3rd option can enjoy 3.2% and 3.3%. If more than 30K might not be approved, depends on source bank. In that case, do multiple RM 30K.

Best in the market now: Public bank eTD Islamic 18m 3.3% via FPX only. Any other higher?

The world today is much more fragile and unpredictable than before. "BNM very much likely to announce an OPR hike again on 8 Sept 2022" is in the cloud.
I prefer to opt for : Best of the CURRENT. Just my 3 cents.

Huh ? OTC Upliftment is not possible for eFD? Learned something new!

So far I only know that Online Upliftment is not allowed for OTC Placement.
*
UOB, OCBC bank allows online upliftment for OTC placement. Ambank doesn't allow, but you can sent an email to the branch in concern requesting an auto credit of your FDs upon maturity, they will set up standing instructions for you. Done, u get your money on FD maturity date. Generally, i believe local banks will accept email requests, give a reason, like, covid-19.

Hah hah gimmick by banks. Not many people understand effective rate. Sometimes people see wah so high and they will put into this bundle. Sometimes, the bundle can be worse off then the normal fd effective rate wise.
*
For bundles, the effective rate was stated clearly. No issue here.
4.05% for 18m. Good rate. One thing I don't like about MBSB is when FD matures, you can only transfer out max 10K per day online! Have they changed this rule?

HLB eFD promotional rate, 21 September 2022-31 October 2022
3 months 2.75% p.a
6 months 3.05% p.a
12 months 3.25% p.a
18 moths 3.50% p.a

HLB 12m, 18m come at the wrong timing. AmB 12m 3.5%, MBSB 18m 4.05%, 12m 3.9% etc all riding on it. Public Bank 18m 3.3% came at July 2022 - > smart timing.

it possibly implies PBB is quite sure OPR rates will go up by at least another 50bps in the near future.
affin 3.83% 18m, 3.40% 24m wud indicate they think rates will peak and then decline in 18-24 months time.

current consenus is BNM will raise 25bps in Jan, Mar, then stop.
assumption is USA continues to hike another 2-3 times, total 75bps:
*
Looking back on July 2022, PBB is giving 3.3% for 18m, which is the highest at that time, because they are quite sure rates will go up, now proven, way beyond.
Now they are giving 4.2% 18m, IMO that is a strong indicator the "way beyond" cycle will repeat.
I agreed it is best to put 6m now. Chances are good you will get ≥ 4.8% for 18m by then.

Yes, select TD-i Booster, minimum 5K. Now their online % better than OTC, starting 11 Nov 2022.
Funds from your CASA, currently no FPX option.
