My 2nd year FD with CIMB MY has just matured yesterday and i got paid 7,330 RM as interest. This was based on my new principal (208,600 RM) after 1st year.

I started with 200K RM in 2018.

For my 3rd year (2020-2021), the revised FD rate is only 1.85% and will be base on 215,930 RM.

I do recommend exploring Msia's banks.

I have another FD account with CIMB SG maturing in Oct 2020 (first year) at an IR of 1.85%. I am expecting the revised rate to be much much lower in Oct 2020.

I invested in CIMB, Msia too. Yr 2018 4.3%, 2019 3.8% for 1 year FD. Very attractive. However, nowadays FD rate very low. Below 2%. Therefore, not really attactive no more if one were to convert to S$.

I dont really understand why ppl are going for other banks for 3yrs with 1.8% interests rate whereas Maybank is giving 2.05%.
Same same 3 years, no?

Precisely. Furthermore the funds are guaranteed up to 75K.

Having said, why Maybank is still willing to offer at 2.05% when housing loan rates going south?:s22:

if you're referring to 1.8% with Tiq, there is a big difference between being able to draw out money after 3 months (but enjoy rates for 3 years) as compared to having in a FD for 3 years which you cannot touch the money, unless you are willing to get back $0 interest by cancelling the FD.

If i'm not wrong for May Bank was told last time that if u terminate the FD after 3 mths. U will be only be paid interests base of board rates. Not sure if it's still the same? Please kindly confirm with the bank.

Nothing to be happy or unhappy about

Foreign currencies deposit interest rates are higher for a reason - their currencies are expected to depreciate against sgd. You are taking a position on fx when you place such deposit in foreign currencies
