Deal Hunter,
Thank you.
Yes, thanks, your way easy compared Effective rate between CS 3.805% VS CIMB 3.90%
This is separate two types.
A.)If you have cash at hand but monthly saving low.
B.)If you have cash at hand but monthly saving high.
Who's care the depositor is type A or B, but type A normally old, not rich and rely the interest for living, if you know the depositor situation and all info should not suggest type A go below.
If type A have RM118K at hand and look for CS EF 4.04%, no matter SC still give you EP 4.04% of all total Max RM300K, but when monthly top up finally result lower that CIMB EF 3.90%.
Below way can lower the overall effective rate, this is I felling really sadness.
If you put RM100k, then each month top up, overall total still count with effective rate 4.04%, but I guess like below situation.
RM100k * 4.04% /2 = RM 2020
RM 3k * 4.04% /12 = 10.1 * 5 months = RM 50.5
RM 3k * 4.04% /12 = 10.1 * 4 months = RM 40.4
RM 3k * 4.04% /12 = 10.1 * 3 months = RM 30.3
RM 3k * 4.04% /12 = 10.1 * 2 months = RM 20.2
RM 3k * 4.04% /12 = 10.1 * 1 month = RM 10.10 Total 5 months = RM 151.5
RM 2171.5 of Effective rate with monthly top up 3.7765%
RM100k * 4.04% /2 = RM 2020
RM 3k * 4.04% /12 = 10.1 * 6 months = RM 60.6
RM 3k * 4.04% /12 = 10.1 * 5 months = RM 50.5
RM 3k * 4.04% /12 = 10.1 * 4 months = RM 40.4
RM 3k * 4.04% /12 = 10.1 * 3 months = RM 30.3
RM 3k * 4.04% /12 = 10.1 * 2 months = RM 20.2
RM 3k * 4.04% /12 = 10.1 * 1 month = RM 10.10 Total 6 months = RM 212.1
RM 2232.1 of Effective rate with monthly top up 3.7832%
Above only for six month, now compared with CIMB hassle-free, partial withdraw and 3.9%.
Pure FD not need depositor do this do that.
4.49 % ER want add mission again, don't know want MEPS what, so I think depositor not prefer above specially old age depositor.
If you hand RM100K no matter SC allow you RM3K in out every month, but if RM3K no interest and now put CIMB (1950 + 58.5 = RM 2008.5) not very big different and above reasons.
Want full understand above don't know spend how much time, energy..., but for hobby, thank you for your teach.
Above still ok, if compared with 1 month FD and others, so at least depositor want care it, the FD ready unable defend inflation, early withdraw zero interest, interest rate big opportunity keep dropping..., so type A normally is naive person, if type A don't know, this is really sadness, cause I think nowadays less person willing any.
The news, if I not wrong FD deposit drop 1.1% compared with preview year, so no matter less depositor, depositor choice put high interest bank..., but the rate still keep dropping, this is mean maybe competition not a main point determine the interest rate. Power of depositor very small.
Again you should more relax, I think if you prefer pure FD or not very complicated FD, above just letting go. Thank you.
