[quote=\"lalaland\"]Anyone tried BOC?

This is what I've found. But it only states the 3 month and 6 month rates.

Lousy rate this year. Was quoted 1.7% p.a. for 50K and above. In the past, always good rate with perk given.

We tried BOC last year, they had very good rates then. But this year, nothing caught my eye.

Another FD to consider is their RMB FD,
Interest rate higher but risk also higher. CIMB RMB offers 6+%pa for 6mths, but.......[/quote]Yes, previous year was much better and they even gave me some Taka vouchers. This year BOC is not competitive at all.

Done. Given only 1.78% for current SCB customer. SCB turn down our negotiation for better interest rate. Told them will save some in SCB and will save some with another bank for better interest. Will not put all my eggs into one bag. I believe if the owner of SCB, they will definitely beg you to save with them with better interest rather than let go of their current customer for another bank. No gift. M

BTW, I am not working for MB. I want to know how SDs compare with FDs.
