Maybank over the counter 4%. Min 10k. Interest at the end of tenure.

I guess that HLB FPX more attractive then.

Thanks so much for the response. In terms of the 5 year FD, will I be able to withdraw the interest on a yearly basis or will I have to wait for the five years to lapse?

Cheers

Every Bank has different policy, I remember last time BSN have retirement FD 4% , interest will be credited to your savings account on monthly basis..
I find this is best scenario, as the interest can be used for as monthly income (when retire) and Malaysia has no tax on bank interest.

I plan to use cash placed in FD to maintained my retirement too..

Maybank offers 4.5% min 5% max for 3 years. Interest is paid out yearly. 10k min :-)

Anything that has a minimum percentage payment (ie: your min 4.5%) is always investment..

FD is a fixed deposit = fixed percentage for $$ placed in with bank for an agreed period of time.

QUOTE(Deal Hunter @ Feb 20 2017, 10:17 PM)
Yes, HLB interest is actually 2.666% of the principal as you figured 8 /12 x 4 %. It is up to the FD investor whether any luck to make another 4 months worth at 4% or end up with a higher or lower rate. I assume this is one of the reasons for the poor pickup of the offer as some FD investors are conservative and prefer a bird in the hand to take a 12 month at 4% instead. It is only those who are loyal HL customer, have a gambling nature, or have some kind of info that reasoned chances of the FD rate will rise after 8 months is better than going down; - that will take the HL offer.

As for those who are hoping for that 4.18% chance, it is pretty obvious that the above thinking never crossed their minds, or the hesitation from the undecided on the EPF rate. One can figure out the thinking of FD customers easily. The pick-up rates are just a nice confirmation that this is truly a year of the chicken hearted (joking only).

From 3 February to 31 March 2017, the Ambank TD-i promos complete with monthly payment of interests are:-
3.68% for 8 months minimum 10k.
4.08% for 8 months minimum 50k.
Nobody said anything about 4% for 12 months when I was at Ambank today 20 February 2017.
There are also the usual bundled offers with fantastic figures.

Because it's 8 months @4% interest the effective rate is 2.666??? If malaysian standard of mathematics is at this level, we are doomed to be 3rd world country for a long long time bangwall.gif

RHB also still have lots of $$.. promotion on FD is only 3.95% for 12 months.. but try to get u to buy Tokyo marine endowment insurance and promise 5.5% every year..

Just told them off, not to try to con people.. endowment insurance no guarantee 5.5%.. black n white shows less than 2% guaranteed, the rest are just projections!

New info from Muamalat officer. Customer can request top up for the 4.5% FD, min still 100k. So for those guys who has placed for the 4.5%, can call to get approval first.  biggrin.gif
*
I was at Muamulat Bank Johor branch this morning, they told me no more 4.5%! vmad.gif So I called HQ, and they gave me different answer, says 4.5% valid till October..
Asked them to check with officer and call Johor branch to confirm.

In the end, they gave me 4.5% for $400K placement but says it's only valid till today before 2.30pm. Maybe they get complaints from other banks, as many of us withdraw from other banks to place at Muamalat rclxs0.gif

Those 18 months deposit, do they calculate interest after 12 months or at the end of 18months?

Say example if I put in 100k, 4.2% for 18
Months / what will be my total sum at maturity?

TIA

don't worry, very soon Banks will negotiate with rates above 4.5% as malaysia currency faces outflow due to 1MDB default. May lose some value as some big shot move their currency overseas

Guys. Stand Chart price solution called me and offer me cash advance from my credit card at 3.88% per annum. If i take that cash and put in HLB FD 4.3%, does it mean I'll make a slight profit? Sorry I'm not a finance guy, I need those with financial knowledge to help me.
*
look at fine print... 3.88% but you need to pay monthly which makes the effective rate higher than 4% (depending on amount you need to pay/month)

Err i thought 10,000*3.35%=RM335? Why RM20+?

Sorry if im being stupid  notworthy.gif I seriously dont know why lol.
*
The interest at 3.35% for $10000 = $335
since it's monthly interest.. $335/12 = $27.90 every month

someone make some mistake in calculation and pay u less than 3.35%

Just want to know if government putting in money to enable higher interest rate for islamic fd?

No, the reason Islamic bank can give higher interest it's because they do no need to pay high salary and bonus to Bank CEO like normal banks. consider it as a non profit bank that distribute all profits to investor (people that put $$ in their bank)

I was in BR this week to place FD. U can get nego rate by asking them to call HQ. This is my first FD with them after draining all FD's due to no good offer from them for last 1 year or so.

Even got the FD cert delivered to me, saved me one trip. Suppose to get FD cert the same day but due to some problem did not get it on the day. Received 2 gifts also.  rclxms.gif

BR FD have monthly interest? or must wait 60 months to get interest?
