FD rate will go down soon?

PETALING JAYA: Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) decided to cut the Overnight Policy Rate (OPR) by 25 basis points to 3% from 3.25% at its Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) today amid weak economic outlook.
BNM trims OPR to 3% on market headwinds

Any update on FD rates in the market. I came across this article on the impact from the OPR change - https://mrandmrsmoney.wordpress.com/2019/05...ur-investments/

Please share best FD promos after the OPR change

Any idea where Affin’s rates are after the OPR change?

Is there any tax on the interest income received from deposits?

if you are ok with 60 months waiting period, why not just consider buying a combination of maybank, cimb, rhb shares? all giving above 5% dividends with maybank and cimb classified as too big to fail by bnm.
*
The risk is higher, stock dividends are based on profit distribution. Profit outlook for banking is weak with challengers, digitalisation and OPR trending down. I think you based this on a bank stock acting like a bond, I would prefer one of those bank’s bond then.

u'll be better off with bonds (UT).
last year some of them returning 10% PA, some YTD (2020) already 3%.
you don't have to be tied to bank for pathetic rates. sell it when you wish
off course be wise in choosing bonds, some are underperforming
*
The fixed deposits are to bring down the overall risk. 3.5-3.8 is quite low though, I would be ok with 4%. Any bank’s offering in that range?

Few weeks ago, there was a mention about Bangkok Bank 12 mths at 3.85% with min RM5k
since you are placing >60 mths, and hopefully if the amount is big, the bank could offer higher than 3.85.
try check with them?

That’s great, I will check it out. Thanks!

Don’t bother. They are not going to entertain.

Have a go at bank rakyat instead. They can go up to 4.05 for 60months if u speak with the BM.

Also scb offers 4% 6m for new PB Client.

Bank Rakyat is definitely on the list. Thanks.

at 270k u might as well push all to CIMB and get their preferred. Usually will get offered slightly better rates

edit actually, you can open the SCB 3.8% promo if it still available since you will be new to bank...
*
How do you get this promo (3.8%) at SCB? I have not seen it.

My bad, I missed it. Let’s hope for the two predicting SRR change instead of interest rate drop.

I came across this term that SC mentions on 5% withholding tax for deposits larger than 100k. It is currently waived by the Msian gov.

Does anyone know how the general rule works? Would splitting it in several 100k within the same bank help?

Makes sense, I would also be concerned if no PIDM guarantee.

Is the OCBC online or OTC? Thanks

I did it OTC. I understood can get 2.75% for 13 months also but must be 500k and above.

For OCBC 10 months tenure @ 2.6%pa, the TnC says maximum placement is RM50,000 per placement.

Does this refer to 50k per customer or 50k for each online eFD cert?

Any Sifu here can advise?  Thank you 😊
