Hmm.. I alrdy done an application with cimb. Got 30days to put in 20k. Thinking feb then put in then start the 18mth fd
yeah, uob rhb cimb almost same rates in Jan as it was in dec, so lets hope they keep the same for feb as well.

I placed 12m fd with cimb on 1st dec itself, now I am wondering should I cancel the 12m fd and put for 18m, but I will loose the interest for dec/jan by doing so

I tot you need $ in your acct, then start the FD?
so you mean u can do FD with $0 in acct. and you got 30days to xfer the 20k in to start the FD?

Just put in 12K for CIMB 12 mths 4.15% FD yesterday. Sg bond rates seem to be dropping so banks should follow suit soon.

Majority of my cash in UOB one account though, for sweet 5% EIR. Let's see how long this lasts

Me too, but I just wonder how long can the 5% last .. at least for CIMB , we can lock in for another 18 months w 4.15%

I also worry after Feb.. CIMB will not offer such a good rate for 18 months .. just like they quietly withdraw 24 months promo

intending to spread my savings and place the following FD by 31 Jan, can let me know if any flaws?
1) RHB 12 mths@4.28%
2) CIMB 12 mths@4.15%
3) CIMB 18 mths@4.15%
4) OCBC 8 mths@4.08%

All 4 FD will have the same principal sum.

The only flaw is reinvestment risk.

Can i ask how to be OCBC Premier client, to get the 4.18% FD rate? I transferred $300K to OCBC Bonus Plus (savings account) but still see only 4.08% FD rate. Need to call the bank?

Yeah maybe they need to "activate" it on their end
