QUOTE(funnybone @ Aug 24 2012, 01:41 PM) I have a bad experience with OCBC. Went to their HQ at Masjid Jamek LRT station. Wanna open a FD account. The service there slow like tortoise....waiting for an hr and when my turn comes, they tell me system down  Yes, Masjid Jamek personal banking counter is famous for being painfully slow...

QUOTE(ben9584 @ Apr 17 2014, 08:36 AM) Hi all Sifu, I got one question about the house/mortgage loan. I bought a new property last year (new project) and without DIBS. Since my bank already start charge us interest based on construction progress so what is the benefit if we pay more than the interest amount into our loan account before the project complete? If I do so is it will deduct my loan's principle or principle + interest? Or should I wait until the actual loan repayment period start then only I put more money into the loan account? Thank you all Sifu in adavanced There's normally a waiting period before you can start the pay down the loan during construction period. This will be stated in your loan agreement or loan term sheet.

Not for my OCBC semi flexi loan though maybe because mine is DIBS. The bank only allow me to pay advance installment few months after the full loan was disbursed to the developer.

QUOTE(tifosi @ May 16 2014, 02:50 PM) You should be able to pay advance installment anytime. I always do so. How they going to stop you from paying into your own loan account? It is stipulated in my loan agreement. I guess it is not standard across all projects.
