Affin Bank Deposits Combo

Today I visited Affin Bank and found out that Affin Bank is also having promotion for FD, started from mid October and ends on 31st December 2012. Again, the information is not posted in Affin Bank's website.

The promotional FD interest rate is 3.63% p.a. and the tenure is 4 months. Customers need to place at least RM 20000 for the FD and RM 5000 into Affin Bank's CASA to be eligible for the campaign.

I have made a comparison table for all the FD promotions that are currently available and protected by PIDM:

Bank	Tenure	Min Amount	Bundle CASA	Min Amount	Actual Interest
Hong Leong	12-month	RM 10000	No	N/A	3.455%
RHB	15-month	RM 30000	Yes	10% of FD	3.51%
Alliance	6-month	RM 10000	Yes	10% of FD	3.72%
Affin Bank	4-month	RM 20000	Yes	RM 5000	3.63%

Alliance Bank offers the highest interest rate among these banks while Hong Leong Bank's interest rate is the lowest. However, Hong Leong Bank does not require additional fund in CASA and the minimum FD placement is the lowest. So, just go ahead to compare, decide which bank's promotion fits your requirement and start saving!
