顺带另一个知名broker网站的创始人最近刚写了一篇文章,我复制粘贴下最后部分。
https://www.icompareloan.com/res ... d-not-a-fixed-rate/
Maybank’s website (Reference 3) indicates 2% for their fixed deposit while CIMB (Reference 4) is paying 1.95% ($20,000 and above) for their 24 months fixed deposit (13 Feb 2016), while OCBC’s 36 month fixed deposit rate ($5,000 to $20,000) pays only 0.65%.
In short, depositors in OCBC or DBS are being underpaid by more than 1% in fixed deposit rates due largely to faith.
The interest rate difference indicates an inefficient market.
When the depositors finally realized that there is no difference depositing with DBS, OCBC or Maybank or CIMB, local banks will have to raise deposit rates or lose their Fixed Deposit funds to other banks who are paying much more interests to depositors.
When that happens, people who are on FHR or Fixed Deposit Mortgage Rate (FDMR) home loans will feel the pain when they receive letters from OCBC.
Perhaps, a surer bet will be to go directly for a Fixed Rate package if the difference is not very much more expensive. |
