By the way, the Preferred Current Account and Regular Current Account seem to have this unwaivable half yearly service charge. This really makes their current account much less attractive compared to other major banks with huge current account base such as Maybank and Public Bank.

I'm not worried about that half yearly service charge (aka maintenance fee?) because DA's Premier Plus Acc and Prime Plan can waive it.

I just noticed that Prime Current Acc and DA Current Acc don't have such HALF YEARLY SERVICE CHARGE. Only Regular current account got.

Half yearly service fee is one thing. Maintenance fee is another thing.
Preferred Current Account has no maintenance fee but it has this half yearly service fee which seems unwaivable. You also have to pay RM10 just to close the account after 3 months of using it.

Will use the cash bonus RM50 to offset the fee then
RM50 - RM8 (atm fee) - RM20 (closure fee within 3 months) = RM22. I still earn RM22 in the end

No harm waiting pass 3 months right ? Then you have to pay RM10 less.

if let say 150k to get cimb priority banking.

150k must pun in any of their product.

Do they other anything that is more better? Eg. EFT?

But so far, I know 2 of their products:-
1. FD
2. Mutual fund

Do they other anything that is more better? Eg. EFT?

Pardon my ignorance but what is EFT ?

One of the best selling point of HSBC Premier is the complimentary account opening in overseas HSBC.

Convenience of pre-arrival cross-border account opening in participating countries

Does CIMB Preferred have this service?

This is what I got from its website:

I heard that Affin bank FD giving 3.3% p.a .. Anyone know what's the term and condition to apply the account? What's the minimum I should put in?

Anyone with priority banking experience and wishes to share their experience? Apparently the turnover of RMs at Citibank's Citigold is very and there are too many customers while Stanchart's Priority Banking is too slow. Any comment? Some bank's RMs are very good and efficient too.
List of banks and their priority banking services as well as minimum balance requirements:

1. Maybank Private Banking - RM 250k
2. RHB Infinity Banking - RM 200k
3. CIMB Club - RM 150k
4. Alliance Bank Privilege Banking - RM 200k
5. Bank Muamalat Prime Banking - RM 200k
6. Public Bank Red Carpet Banking - RM 250k
7. Hong Leong Priority banking - RM 200k
8. Citibank Citigold - RM 200k
9. HSBC Premier - RM 200k
10. OCBC Premier Banking - RM 300k
11. UOB Privilege Banking - RM 300k
12. Royal Bank Of Scotland Preferred Banking - RM 300k
13. Standard Chartered Priority Banking - RM 200k
14. KFH Priority Banking - RM 300k

most of them require the funds to be placed in FD to ensure it won't drop below the minimum entry requirements. some provide complimentary Platinum Credit Cards as well.
