Encountered that too... They are quite lenient about the fresh funds requirement.. The counter lady offered renewal upon request of upliftment.

But won't place with them till there's better promo. They have a troublesome rules- the most annoying is you must uplift at the branch you place unless the other branch's manager that u want to uplift allows. Otherwise only 20k per slip. If you happen to ask for interest to add to principal renewal then you can't take at all.

It is also restricting interbank withdrawal of 20k. Wtf. First bank encountered to restrict funds moving within branches.

Those who travel or work at other state frequently won't be able to withdraw or uplift due to these restrictions. And by default placement they will lock it to your domicile branch - original account branch. No issue for placement funds to existing account but hard time withdrawal with all those rules.

That is why I only put RM10k max per certificate due to ease of uplifting at another branch. If you put RM20k with interest added to principal, for sure you will not be able to uplift at another branch as it will exceed RM20k/certificate.
They also limit the number of certificates you can uplift to IIRC 3 pcs as I could not uplift more than 3 certificates from other branch.
This is better than tiger bank where the max amount per non-branch certificate is just RM10k the last time I tried to uplift.

It seems like the requirement for PBB is not standard across the board. For example, proof of residence to open savings account in a state where the state is different from your IC. One branch simply requires you to produce a TNB/TM bill which does not need to be in your name, whereas another requires the bill to be in your name.
Some branch are very strict in definition of fresh fund, whereas another allows you to get a new FD cert if you top up 10% of face value (example: you can use the fund from the RM10k FD cert you just uplifted provided you top up RM1k to get a new RM11k FD cert).

For PBB, they will ask for 10% top up. But I have encountered before just top up few hundred will do, then get renewed FD to current promo rate.  biggrin.gif

Hi, if my PBB FD due date is 16/6/2017 (tomorrow), can I uplift it tomorrow or do I have to wait until 17/7/2017 to avoid kena forfeit interest? Mine is the OTC type, not online.


Just called PBB for promo FD. They have 2 FDs.
1. First 3months 3.08%, next 3 months 3.88%, next 3 months 4.88%. Min 10k, effective 3.92%.
2. First 6 months 3.8%, next 6 months 4.18. Min 10k, effective 3.99%

Dear all, I've misplaced a few FD certs from PBB which I got otc in JB. Anyone knows if it's possible to get replacement certs in PBB branch in another state?

The PBB hotline I just called could not provide any answer as the relevant dept are all closed.

Can... Charges applicable.

However there are limitations. If each cert is above 20k, even by a cent, you cannot withdraw / uplift. Must go back issuing branch.

Since you mentioned multiples, heads up - you will need go multiple times cause they only do replacement for two certs for each customer per day. There's declaration form you need to fill etc...

You may try to convince the branch manager you will bring funds to his branch - if he's ok then you have a chance. But unlikely. Good luck!  brows.gif

Thank you for your reply. Main priority is to get the certs and update them, as I can't remember when they were last updated.

The limit of 2 certs is a letdown, as i understand there is an RM10 stamp fee, hence multiple trips mean multiple stamp fees.

If just for viewing then just register online to see la... Why so trouble go all the way to branch for those...

Unless you wanna move them to better rates etc then only go...unless they have some real good promo, they will be the last option.

They don't practice freedom of funds movement with all those restrictions.

Wait you go back the issuing branch only reissue. Perhaps you could found them at home lol...

Thinking of uplifting them to put in Amanah Saham.

PB usually sends update to customer in those 4 sided consealed envelops

Yup, I do receive the summary albeit inconsistently.
My update refers to going to branch to get the certs revalidated/updated to avoid them becoming unclaimed monies.

I had withdrawn 2 x rm20k fd at branch at ss2 same time back to my pbb saving acc (FD issue was in perak) No need go multiple time

Hi, was the value exactly rm20k per cert? I was told if it exceeds 1sen, need to uplift at issuing branch. One branch even told me rm20k pun cannot, must be less than rm20k.

Hi pals,

May I know the definition of fresh fund, let say I have a FD expired which I took out and make another FD on the same day, does it consider as fresh fund?
*
For PBB, it will be accepted as fresh fund if you make another FD on the same day with value of 10% more than the one you took out. Example: if you uplift the RM10k FD nett, you will need to open another FD with value of at least RM11k.

QUOTE(mrhseinpingq @ Sep 18 2017, 03:14 PM)
How is it consider a fresh fund?

If I transfer my money from Public Bank to RHB saving account.
And then RHB saving account to promotion FD in branch,

Can it consider a fresh fund?
*
For PBB, yes provided the fund was transferred not more than 7 days from the day you want to open the FD.

Looking for public bank one, but all promo expired now. Hope to come up soon smile.gif

I just came back from PBB. At the counter, I saw the promo FD. They have 6 months and 12 months, quite attractive rate, if you ask me but I didn't memorise it because I was not going to put in any FD for now. The difference now is the final month interest is a big jump. For example, 3.xx., 3.yy, 3.zz.... 6.aa%. I guess they want to persuade people against early withdrawal.
