12 promos, one deadline
12 Malaysian FD Promotions Expire on the Same Day: 30 September
Ten Malaysian banks are running twelve fixed deposit promotions right now. All twelve expire on the same day: 30 September 2026. After that, every one reverts to a lower board rate — unless the bank quietly rolls out a new cycle first.
Twelve promos, one deadline
- Five of the twelve need a Premier, Privilege, Priority or Red Carpet relationship — not open to a walk-in.
- Six run on fresh funds only — money already sitting at that bank doesn’t qualify.
- CIMB and AmBank reprice monthly — expect a new cycle on 1 October, not a straight renewal.

Sorted by headline rate, highest first. *CIMB TIA-i’s exact per-tenure split for the September cycle was not published at verification — 3.80% is the campaign’s stated ceiling. CIMB TIA-i is a Wakalah investment account, not a deposit: returns are indicative, not PIDM-protected. The other eleven are conventional or Islamic deposits, PIDM-protected up to RM250,000 per depositor.

What to watch
- 30 Sep 2026All twelve promos above close. Placements made before then keep the rate for the full tenure; renewals revert to the board rate.
- From 1 Oct 2026CIMB, AmBank and RHB have run near-monthly or rolling cycles all year — but a follow-on campaign, and its rate, is never guaranteed.
