Lastest S$ Deposit updates - Part 3

[singaporego]

for Bangkok bank website, why is the currency in baht when I selected Singapore? coz I wanna look at the website for more info on fixed deposit.

Don't bother checking their website. It is not updated. Bangkok Bank in SG is a corporate bank not so much a consumer bank. All you need to do is make a call (to find out the most updated rate), then make a trip down to the bank to apply. Whole process in the bank will take not more than 30min. Btw when you call in, be prepared to get a shock because their own CS people also don't know about FD rates, so they will redirect line to the RM directly.

Other than being secured by sdic, this is complete thrash process and experience.

Anyone got OCBC time deposit promo code ?

Is minimum 200k ?
Then most of it is not secured by SDIC.
I wouldn't put so much in a foreign bank . I not so rich to do that

 

[ahnyaahnya]

Considering to lock 200K for 3 years....wonder if it is safe or is too riskly

Which bank got 3 years, at what %?

 

[ekardo]

Exploring fd option in cimb. I realised my FD account already have been created since day 1, but I was playing around the option to internally transfer from my SA to FD, in the “transfer to own account” option, I can only see my SA…
how come huh?

Call them for latest rates, answered by a very polite staff in Thai accent. I recall he told me require $200k for new customers.
Not sure of any changes...

why trash

 

[bladez87]

think RHB will not extend the CASA at the current rates, given how popular their FD is

 

[bladez87]

They have a 36 months option and it is 4.6%. Good to lock in longer term now

i am tempted to go for this.
36 months, 4.6%
longest tenure at the best rate available now.
only consideration is...dont have 3rd joint account holder to get SDIC cover

[bladez87]

Why 100k? 200/3 la

Or we just put 75k per name to Max it out.
