The actual interest rate works out to 1.85795% for 20K based on the fact you are holding a privilege plus account. If you don'have a Privilege plus account the interest is still lower.
Hi,
Thank you but as mentioned in earlier comments, the reason why the actual interest rate isn't listed as 1.86% is because applicable Maybank Accounts for this bundled promotion is not only limited to Passbook Savings Account (0.1875% interest rate p.a. and effective interest rate of 1.84% p.a.) or Privilege Plus Savings account (up to 0.5% p.a. and effective interest rate of 1.86% p.a.) but also includes SaveUp account (up to 3% p.a. and effective interest rate of 2.10% p.a.)
Hence depending on the chosen savings or current account to be applied to this bundle promotion, effective interest rates may vary. You may visit the links about the applicable banking accounts if that helps you better with your fixed deposit placement decisions.
Seems like they tweaked the rates higher after realising their rates are unattractive as compared to other banks. Quite a good deal now at 1.88%
This website editor sleeping!!!
Should indicated in Cons, effective rate for 1.75% is 1.59%
Example:
Deposit FD $30000 + $3000 compulsory to saving account
Effective interest rate: $525/$33000 = WEAK 1.59%
Hi,
Thank you for your comment but the reason why the effective interest rate isn't listed as 1.59% is because applicable Maybank Saving Account for this bundled promotion is not only limited to passbook savings account (0.1875% interest rate p.a.)
It also includes higher yielding banking accounts such as Privilege Plus Savings account (0.4375% p.a. and hence effective rate of 1.63% p.a. based on your example) or SaveUp account (up to 3% p.a. and hence effective rate of 1.86% p.a. based on your example)
Hence depending on the chosen savings or current account to be applied to this bundle promotion, effective interest rates may vary. You may visit the links about the applicable banking accounts if that helps you better with your fixed deposit placement decisions.
In any case, we did list that opening a Maybank banking account in order to take part in this bundled promotion is certainly making this promotion not as attractive as other promotions.
Appreciate your explanation.
Most of the people will opt for passbook saving account (0.1875% interest rate p.a.) if not getting any Maybank financial products.
Included negligible passbook saving account interest will be 1.60% only.
Deposit FD $20000 + $2000 compulsory to saving account.
FD interest $350, saving account interest $3.75.
Effective interest rate: $353.75/$22000 = 1.60%
