CIMB RM kept promoting this CIMB - Principal Total Return Bond Fund which pays interest yearly. Keep for 3 years and they waived the 3% sales charge at the end of tenure. Targeting 4 - 4.5% pa. Any catch ? Was thinking of investing, lazy to chase interest rate also now...

What a shocker. 

Anyone else went for BSN 4.5%12Mths offer about a year ago? I did and matured  today.  That's what it says on the cert.  Tarikh matang 27jan 2017.

But they told me cannot take out till 24 hrs after Tarikh matang ie tomorrow  or practically next Tuesday. They said this is Islamic fd rule.

I said wtf.  I did islamic fd with other banks including  BR and never encounter such thing. 

Naturally  I tiau  the idiots and ask for bnm Complaint  form.  Also got evidence  of what they told me.

Got such thing?  Tarikh matang cannot take out money unless penalty?  Wtf!!!

are they going to pay you interest till Tuesday then?

CIMB Wisma Genting, rate 4.2% for 1 year.
They didn't specify the minimum amount, seems like they are quite flexible.
I was told min is 4.15% and max is 4.2%. As shared by many they need to obtain HQ approval.
This rate ends this Friday. Please ask branch directly for best rate

that's a good rate. Thanks for sharing rclxms.gif

Guys, what would be the best practice if I want to withdraw a sum of money, for example 30K from Maybank, then I go to CIMB bank to put multiple FDs of different tenures?

Let's say I take 30K to CIMB, I want to put 20K @ 4.10% promo, the other 10K @ normal conventional FD rate of maybe 3%.

In this case, would it be better to take just 1 banker cheque and bring to CIMB? Would they be able to split a 30K banker's cheque into a two FD accounts of 10K and 20K respectively?

Or do I ask Maybank to issue me two banker's cheque of 10K and 20K? Seems like waste money hmm.gif

You can issue 1 cheque and split, no problem. Been doing that all these while

It is a step-up FD.
It seems the least cost is apply credit card (new to HL) or top up rm1000. Wonder any tie in period for the RM1000
*
just called up, no lock-in period for the RM1000. A bit surprised cos normally HLB likes to lock for 4 months biggrin.gif

Thanks for the sharing.

Why it is called as PayDay ? Just read the T&C, the interest will be credited to saving / current account in a monthly basis instead of daily basis.

AFAIK, havent come across any FD that credits interest into your account DAILY biggrin.gif

Did anyone cracked this, 4.88% per annum, means 6 months is only 2.44%??

Correct me if i'm wrong.

What were u expecting ? 4.88% per month ?



[quote=okuribito,Nov 3 2017, 08:27 PM]
You think so? Best rate? But based on these 2 posts in the spoiler, it's a trap to catch suckers wor. Tak sampai 2.44% pun & mis-advertising. Now I feel like a stupid water fish. I wonder how many forummers here were saved from the trap by these 2 posts rclxms.gif rclxms.gif rclxms.gif rclxms.gif

Remember ... if they try this stunt in JB & Penang, warn everybody it's a trap doh.gif rclxs0.gif

btw i think that qualifies as mis-advertising. Perhaps that's why they can afford to give lucky thermos and printers.

2.4X% per 6 months?
4.8X% per year?

That's a steal bro.

[quote=ikanbilis,Nov 3 2017, 09:58 PM]
Are you sure you know how to compute FD interest rate?

OKOK, so somebody calculated as 2.4199% for 6 months. I just take 2.4% for 6 months is enough. That's 4.8% pa which is 0.6% more than the current Ambank promo 4.2%pa

They were just being sarcastic la

Can share which branch is it? I just went to Menara Ambank, the ABM and BM very arrogantly told me no such thing as 4.4% max is 4.38%. I even called them before I went and I was told 4.4% during the call. They denied it and insist it's impossible. Damn pissed off wasted so much time there

then you ask the arrogant asses to eat this cert. Just tell them Klang Valley branch, if they challenge you further
