十一年定存蒸发 - 认识Dormant Account, Unclaimed Money

前几天的头条新闻,一个女小贩在某银行存放了11年定存,竟然在多年后当自己拿着定存证书去银行,才发现钱已经在几年前取出。

女小贩向银行投诉,花了近一年的时间等待银行的调查结果,都等不到。直到媒体报道女小贩的经历后,银行才快速在短时间的处理,并且答应连本带利退回给女小贩。

歪歪在论坛发现有相关新闻的讨论,发现有些讯息连自己也搞错,所以开贴做个提点。

不过,事先说明,以下资料和女小贩经历是没有关系的,因为女小贩在追查户口问题时,被银行告知,其户口在02年就被提出。而这个被银行说已经被提款的定期户口的证书,却又很神奇一直在女小贩手中。

关于银行储蓄户口,来往户口和定期户口

普通储蓄户口 - saving account
银行来往户口 - current account
定存户口 - fixed deposit


dormant account

只有储蓄户口来往户口会在用户1年时间内,在完全并没有动用(进钱或提款)的情况下,户口才会成为dormant account (inactive)。

而当户口成为dormant account后,户口还会被银行charges services fees RM 10 每一年。如果你有五个户口是inactive成为dormant account, 每个户口都会被收取RM10,相等于RM50。

也因此,歪歪建议没有必要的话,不要开太多户口,免得每个不活跃一年被白白抽RM10。

此外,当户口成为dormant account后,我们就开始不能在通过电子银行,提款机或是存款机用该户口进出钱。

今年年头,歪歪看到Public Bank在网上的notice, 打算用电子银行帮爱人进RM10去他大众银行个人储蓄户口以保持活跃,结果是不成功的。后来,爱人检查簿子记录,才发现原来该已经超过12个月没有动用过该户口。


当户口变dormant account, 该怎么做


而当户口成为dormant account后,我们是需要去到银行服务柜台,告诉对方户口不活跃了,要求职员启动回该户口(必须通过银行内部的系统来启动)。

而启动条件就是可以选择存款或是提款最少RM10。

通常,当户口一年后没有被动用,银行都会发出书信做通知。不过,很多银行顾客没有去了解银行书信,又或者国英文欠佳,而没有去处理银行的书信。


Unclaimed Money


当户口长达7年成为dormant account后,户口里的钱将会成为unclaimed money, 而钱也会转去以下部门;

The Registrar of Unclaimed Moneys
Malaysian Accountant General’s Department
Trust And Securities Management Division
42nd Floor, Menara Maybank
100, Jalan Tun Perak
50050 Kuala Lumpur.

Tel.: 03-20341850
Fax: 03-20725707,03-20267430

这也就是说,七年过后,一旦户口的钱成为unclaimed money后,就算我们拿着簿子去银行也提不到钱的。

而如果户口的钱转去了以上地址的部门后,我们就必须比较麻烦些,需要亲自带相关文件去该部门填表格拿回钱。

歪歪在这之前一直以为就只有定期户口是不包括在内,也以为定期户口就算十年八年不去管它,让该定期户口auto renew就没有问题。

原来这个认知是错误的。

看看Jabatan Akauntan Negara Malaysia - Unclaimed Moneys Act资料;

What is Unclaimed Money?
Definition Of Unclaimed Moneys
  1. Moneys which are legally payable to the owner but have remained unpaid for a period of not less than one year.

    Examples under this category are :
    1. salaries, wages, bonuses, commissions and other payments due to employees;
    2. dividends
    3. profits declared for distributions;
    4. insurance claims which have been approved for payment;
    5. bank draft, cashier's order and other documents of similar nature which validity period have lapsed;
    6. fixed deposits (without automatic renewal instructions) which have matured;
    7. tender deposits for which the intended purpose has been fulfilled;
    8. sundry creditors or sundry debtors with credit balance.

  2. Moneys standing to the credit of an account that has not been operated in whatever manner by the owner for a period of not less than seven years.

    Examples under this category are :
    1. savings account;
    2. current account; and
    3. fixed deposits (with automatic renewal instructions).

  3. Moneys to the credit of a trade account that have remained dormant for a period of not less than two years

    Examples under this category are :
    1. trade creditors account;
    2. trade debtors account with credit balance.
b项目资料显示,当户口超过7年没有动用,会成为unclaimed money的,包括储蓄户口,来往户口,还有定期户口(就算是有自动更新的)。

看了这资料,歪歪决定关闭其中一家的定期户口,免得户口太多会让自己忘记了,结果为日后带来不必要的麻烦。

以信用卡借钱(2) - Credit Card Easy Cash or cash on call

以信用卡借钱的另一家银行的例子;

Easy Cash Sail through unexpected financial crises with RHB Easy Cash

Overview

When life takes an unexpected turn, some extra cash in hand helps you sail through the storm with ease. With RHB EasyCash, you can now withdraw up to 50% of your available credit limit可借贷出信用卡剩余的50%的限额,也就是说RM10,000的卡没有被用过,可以借出RM5,000)at a lower interest rate and enjoy a comfortable repayment period of up to three years. Not only is it hassle-free, it is light on your wallet, too.

So, get your RHB Credit Card now and apply for RHB EasyCash today!

  • Comfortable repayment period of up to 3 years
  • Low interest rate from 0.66% p.m.
  • Withdraw up to 50% of your available credit card limit
  • Easy application and 24 hours approval*
  • No Processing Fee
  • Minimum Easy Cash application amount is RM1,000
Easy Cash Amount (RM) Plan Repayment Period Flat Interest Rate per Month Monthly Repayment*
RM1,000 1 12 months 0.667% RM90.00
RM1,000 2 24 months 0.833% RM50.00
RM1,000 3 36 months 1.000% RM37.77

简单算法,看似低利息的0.667% 其实是每月利息。

借RM1000, 分12月摊还,每月要给RM90

RM90 * 12 = RM 1080

RM 80 / RM 1000 = 8%

8%/12 = 0.667%

不能忽视的重要条件;

Upon application of the RHB EasyCash, Cardmembers are deemed to be responsible in servicing the monthly installment amount. The monthly installment amount is posted into the Cardmember’s credit card account to be accumulated to the total outstanding balance and subject to the minimum repayment amount of 5% of the total outstanding balance. If cardmembers choose to repay the minimum amount of 5% or part of the total outstanding balance, the remaining balance is chargeable at 1.5% p.m. on daily rest.

意思代表; 每个月账单该还的数额虽然为RM90, 不过信用卡持有依然可以如同使用时用卡一样,选择还RM90的5%, 而剩下的95%则会每月被charges 1.5%的信用利息。。。

资料来自 RHB EASY CASH TERM AND CONDITION

忠告;

如果你真的面对经济问题,想要借一笔钱来解决问题,向银行做借贷的选择会比找啊隆安全,而且不用面对啊隆更离谱的高息的借贷配套。

而且,向银行借贷起码有黑字白纸写明做保障,就除非是借贷者没有花时间去阅读和了解。

记得,千万不要借贷就为了结婚典礼或是庆祝母亲生日。歪歪不觉得会有哪个母亲高兴自己的孩子向银行借钱来为自己庆祝生日。
