CIMB CASA Bundled Step Up FD

CIMB just started a step up FD campaign from 6th May to 31st July 2013 for its individual customers. The promotion is a CASA bundled 8-month step up FD.

Eligible customers just need to place a minimum fresh fund of RM 1000 into their CASA to enjoy the 8-month step up FD promotional interest rates of up to 4% p.a. The maximum placement for the FD can only be up to 2 times of the CASA placement amount, which means about 33% of the total amount needs to be bundled with CASA.

The promotional interest rates for the 8-month step up FD are as follows:

Tenure	Promotional Rate
Month 1 -- 2	3.25% p.a.
Month 3 -- 4	3.30% p.a.
Month 5 -- 6	3.35% p.a.
Month 7 -- 8	4.00% p.a.

The promotional interest rates are applicable for placement of 1 cycle only. Interests will be paid out upon completion of each single cycle. Payment of interest earned will be credited to the eligible customer's CASA.

The effective interest rate for the 8-month step up FD is 3.475% p.a. only, which is very low because 30% of the placement amount still needs to be bundled with CASA.

AmBank Mother's Day Special FD

Mother's Day will fall on 12th May this year. AmBank is having a FD promotion campaign from 6th May to 31st May 2013 to celebrate Mother's Day. The campaign is exclusively for new and existing female customers.

There are two types of promotion under Mother's Day Special Campaign:

Promotion	Tenure	Interest Rate	Min Deposit (Fresh Fund)
CASA Bundle FD	9 months	3.55% p.a.	RM 20000 (new customer) RM 10000 (existing customer)
CASA & Credit Card   Bundle FD	9 months	3.65% p.a.

For both promotions, customer needs to have a CASA with AmBank. It is only for AmBank to bank in the interest of the FD, not bundle with the deposit fund. In order to enjoy additional 0.10% p.a. interest rate, customer can choose to apply for AmBank credit card. Card which is cancelled in less than 6 months and reapplied during the campaign period will not be considered as new application.


The additional of 0.10% p.a. is subjected to a minimum spending of RM 350 for Gold Card and RM 500 for Visa Signature and Platinum Cards within 2 months from the card’s approval date. The promotional rate of 3.65% p.a. shall only be accorded for a deposit placement on a maximum of RM 200000 for each eligible customer. Any FD placement exceeding the amont shall only enjoy 3.55% p.a. interest rate.

This is a very good chance for the ladies to deposit with AmBank. The interest rate of 3.65% p.a. is quite good as there are not many FD promotions by banks at this moment.
