What’s the conversion rate

I just look at Foreign Currency Interest Rate....so far Alliance Bank is around 5.4% and above for USD

U have to look at conversion rate. Ie USDMYR for example.

Alliance usdmyr rate is worse than RHB. So even if interest rate is slightly higher than RHB, in totality you're worse off with alliance

guys... when you "invest" in currency... eventually need to also sell... therefore must look at round-trip, buy/sell spread for best comparison...

on usd, rhb spread is 0.64%... alliance is 3.54% !!!

des why long ago i kept "promoting" rhb when not many ppl here knows about it... wink.gif

anyways back to alliance... they give you 5.65%pa... if put for 1 year you actually only get 2.11% net...

but because alliance fd is higher than rhb... if you put long enough, returns from alliance will eventually exceeds rhb... my guesstimate maybe in 15-20 yrs smile.gif

anyways... imho that is far too long, and too uncertain...
