A new shape, not just a date

RHB Drops Its 7 & 9-Month FD Promo for a New 3.90% 12-Month Rate

RaymondRates.my2 min read

RHB's Fixed Deposit campaign has a new shape. The 7 and 9-month tenures that ran since July are gone, replaced on 27 October by a single 12-month placement at 3.90% p.a. — with a lower minimum, too. The new campaign runs to 30 November 2026.

RHB's FD/e-FD promo didn't just move its deadline this time — the whole shape of the campaign changed.
  • Only a 12-month placement now — the old campaign's 7 and 9-month tenures are gone.
  • The minimum fell to RM1,000 from RM5,000, open to much smaller savers than before.
  • Online e-FD joins late — branches get the new rate from 27 October, e-FD only from 2 November.

MBSB bought itself more time too

  • MBSB extended two campaigns the same week — Term Deposit-i and Term Investment Account-i now both run to 30 November.
  • Same rates, just more time — MBSB's 4.00% six-month headline hasn't changed, only the deadline has.

What to watch

  • 30 Nov 2026RHB's and both MBSB campaigns' new deadline — the same day for all three, unless extended again.
  • Your maturity dateAny of these placements renews at the bank's board rate, not the promo one.
