Yesterday was a very busy day for me.
In the morning, the RM from ABN called me on the maturity of our FD. The interest rates seem to have fallen. So I told him I'll get back to him if I wanted to roll over the FD.
In the meantime, I called the RM from OCBC to ask for what interest rate that she could offer me. Indeed, she gave me a higher rate. I then called back to ABN that I wanted to withdraw the FD as I've better offer. MT then said that he can't offer me a higher rate or else it'll be at their cost. Then I told him it's alright then, I'll withdraw the FD. Who knows a while later, he called me again telling me that his boss was willing to earn nothing but wanted to keep our FD with them. Then I called back to OCBC again telling them that we didn't want to place FD with them already as ABN had agreed to match the rates offered by OCBC.
Wow.. it was a real fight for both banks to get me to place FD with them.. haha.. AA told me that she'll get give me a better rate and asked me to place FD with her. Well, I asked boss' opinion and he agreed and that we'll withdraw partial FD with OCBC and rollover the remaining with ABN.
After this had been settled, I quickly drafted out the instruction letter to ABN for FD withdrawal and another instruction letter to place FD with OCBC. As we need both signatories and one of the signatories was not in office, boss had to go and get the second signatory from the other boss.
Finally, the whole thing was settled at about 1pm. What a relieve for me~! =D
