I recalled some mums (including lee_yl?) locked in rates for longer tenure and this proves a correct move.

Lucky me! Signed up for 2 yrs @ 2.13% pa before CNY.

There's one promo coming up tomorrow. HSBC 7month FD @ 1.65%pa or 1.7%pa (for premier customers). For $50K deposit, receives $30 TAKA vouchers.

[quote=\"zakashi\"]SCB increases home morgage interest rate to 2.2%. So SCB FD interest rate is now at 2% as mentioned by Startlight1968sg.

No, SCB FD int rates are reduced. Even with 2yr tenure, it is <2%pa.

during the previous crisis, some big banks in US collapsed.
I don't trust banks fully and I recalled (again) lee_yl's advice: spread your eggs and don't put all in one basket

Think you could be a bit late. A friend of mine get 2% for $200K for a year. Another friend got 2.1% for $50K for 2 years. I also place for two years and I get more than 2% too. But all of us got our placements before 15 Jan.
