Random question,
Remember about end of last year SCB had a promotion where you earmark 3-mths of different tiers amount, to get an effective rate of 3.1667% p.a. + a gift (eg, iPhone8/S8 or 2x return ticket Business Class to HK or Aus or Tag Heuer Aquaracer, and the ultimate one was an Explorer II).

Anyone gotten their goods yet? lol

hahahah malaysia out of Stock fo the explorer! oh wells but this deal was such a good catch!

Just a random question, since this thread is mainly about priority bankings, what about private bankings? Anyone here knows or experience any of it, or actually if it's a different thing all together lol lol #NoobHere?

I wonder how much they differ from the usual Priority Bankings? Just some food for thought.

These are what I've lightly googled about:

Maybank Private Wealth
Eligibility "USD1 million in Investable Assets with Maybank"

CIMB Private Banking/Private Wealth?
Eligibility "Not sure MYR 1M I think?"

Probably better coffee and eyecandy? hahaha

Lol guess someone at the desk had a bad day. But I’m more curious how did she abruptly became randomly rude?
But they were significantly beyond being professional, I suggest you to take the time and email cru@cimb.com.... I had an encounter once that a staff/teller and the security guard was quite rude, just slightly before the bank closes they wanted to close shop early. When I requested for the manager, I was apparently told that “she’s” coming, then I found out that she wasn’t even in the bank.

Wrote in to CRU (customer resolution unit) demanding for the BM to call in just to apologize on behalf of her colleagues. And to my surprise, they actually called and acknowledged lol.

Hahaah you mean sillybank... yeah idk why KL’s Citibank feels so, below par average from our local priority banking. Even SINGAPORE’s CitiGold is way more professional and courteous than ours.

Walk in and take only, no reason to feel paiseh because it’s there for refreshments

Yes why not? Gleneagle's CIMB I do that whenever I'm at the hospital. Take a coffee, enjoy some aircond and reading materials, then ciao.
Good way to kill hours and hours of waiting.

I've always thought Alliance Bank gives the highest interest for CASA at 3.5% @ 200-300k above (now 3.25%), but i didnt know OCBC gave 3.8% (3.4% now) @ 10Mil?

But of course these are somehow basic simple interest calculation of each day ending of the month, rather than compounded like how FD's are calculated right?

For now new customers CITI is giving 4% 3-mth max 500k or 1000k, can’t recall.

Yup, Alliance is the best so far at 2.5% at 250k or was it above 300k, i can't recall... I think OCBC can get 2.6% but that's a ridiculous 10mil and above lol.

So far i cannot find the TnC pdf for the Max Yield Acc. But it's good to know that it's still 3% and haven't update the rate after the OPR cut, albeit needing an AUM of 5Mil.

Thanks for the update! I did managed to get those figures too, on ringgitplus, but i figured that the effective date of those rates were published back in 2014, so i assumed it could be 'dated news' lol.

Well, for the most part the website is quite straightforward for most details people usually seek la (gotta give them some credit, just a bit), but that's exactly what I had gone thru, the redirections on slightly unnecessary things. Haha, the last i remembered using the "Contact us" part, they did return the call to provide more info and details, and also subtly hard-sell their investment products too. But that was many many years and moons ago la.

But I guess this would still be a decent buffer for those waiting for better FD rates/promotions, assuming they've reached the min AUM of 5M, to still enjoy the simple interest of 3%.

Hehehehe making your deposits or investment worth the refreshing drink hehe
