MBSB FD Promotion 2026: TD-i Pays 4.00% p.a., More Than Its Own TIA-i
MBSB Bank is running two deposit campaigns at once. TD-i, a plain fixed deposit, pays up to 4.00% per annum. TIA-i, an investment account, pays less — and doesn't carry the same protection.
4.00%
TD-i, 6 months
PIDM-protected to RM250,000
3.85%
TIA-i, 12 months
indicative only, not guaranteed
RM1,000
Minimum placement
fresh or rollover funds, both campaigns
The deposit pays more than the investment account
- TD-i is a deposit — covered by PIDM up to RM250,000 per depositor, no action needed.
- TIA-i is an investment account under a Mudharabah profit-sharing contract, not a deposit.
- Fresh and rollover funds both qualify for the full campaign rate, no top-up required.
Why the investment account can't promise its rate
- MBSB can revise TIA-i's rate if Bank Negara's OPR changes, without needing consent.
- The profit-sharing ratio can shift mid-contract, cutting the customer's eventual share.
- TIA-i carries no PIDM protection, stated plainly in the campaign's own clause 3.16.

What to watch
- 31 Oct 2026Both campaigns end on this date, for TD-i and TIA-i alike.
- At maturityTD-i auto-renews at MBSB's prevailing board rate, not the campaign rate.
- Before you placeRollover funds need no top-up. Money already sitting at MBSB doesn't count as fresh funds.
