RHB Mca account is good. HSBC is also equally good.

I assume you have accounts with both banks - which bank has better rate for USD and what's the transfer time for incoming TT? thanks!
*
RHB has far better conversion rates usd / ringgit than HSBC.
Incoming TT depending from which country is typically about a few days to a week max.

Can you exchange currency instantly?

E.g. rm3k from MYR to USD, and then immediately back to MYR?

Is the interest rate updated daily or by the second?
*
Immediate 24x7. Update to the second. But I noticed usd stops at a certain time. And the weekends.

i thought wise better???
*
Wise is fine for smaller amounts. I rather use a full fledge bank where the deposits are protected.
Only drawback is every conversion needs to be against the ringgit.
This is a very good product for personal use. There is a RM30k limit per day on buy and sell transaction.

How about Maybank Global Access Account-i compared to RHB multi currency account? which one has better rate?
Both are quite similar multi currency account with debit card.

RHB has very tight buy and sell range. It’s also have foreign FD where you can put your money if not used.

Anyone using RHB MCA to buy gold ? So far I see the spread is the lowest among all other bank
*
I have not really compared. It’s only pertinent if you intend to buy and sell.
If it’s for regular savings, Maybank’s Islamic gold account is good. You can buy gold in any RM amount. Young people can buy RM50 of gold every month as regular savings till they retire.

I have done it. In at 4.212 (RM3,001.50), out at 4.184 (RM2,981.10). Lost RM19.95. Hopefully gain back at least triple.
*
I seem to be missing something here. Why would you buy and then sell?

I currently have ~2k in my RHB USD account. How do we place the Term Deposit (1week~) to get higher interest?
*
Go to the app. There is a placement button there.
