  • Carlsberg and AEON Credit lead the week's payouts. Both pay out mid-week in a steady October dividend run on Bursa.

Board rates won't move this week — but one online promo already has. Bank Negara held the OPR at 2.75% in September and meets next on 5 November, so FD board rates stay put through this week. Hong Leong Bank’s online eFD promo has no stated successor yet. Compare today's FD rates before a similar window closes.
