have few matured e-FD from Affin bank and found short of 1 cent of interest (some may thought 1 cent is nothing, but is principle )
the below formula used by bank according the bank staff:
((Amount * Rate%) / 365) * No of Placement Days)
if RM 10000 at 2.45% for 12 months, then:
((10000.00 * 2.45%) / 365) * 365
= (245 / 365) * 365
= 0.6712328767 * 265 <- the value 0.6712328767 have been truncated on physical calculator, mobile calculator some truncated some not
= 249.9999999955 ~ 249.99 <- after truncate to 2 decimal
The argument is if place thru OTC, u will get exactly 245.00 according to bank staff.
Doesnt computerized is better than manual?
Btw, have write a complaint letter to BNM to clarify the issue
LOL I thought it was a mistake. I noticed 1 sen short too. Mine is OTC
