OCBC loan only 3% (pay bank monthly in 12 months) and its FD is 3.4% PA. So bank lost 0.4%?

The different between loan and FD are,
you need to repay the loan to the bank every month from the very first month after the loan disbursement. Whereas Bank never repay your FD principal every month. It pays you back in one lump sum + interest upon FD maturity date.
The key word here is EFFECTIVE RATE.

but i think that kinda loan good when stock market koyak, can use it for accumulate good share. should be able to easily offset that 3% kua.

3% term loan can be turn out to be 6-7% EIR, depended on the tenure.

she said if i early settle say 3 months, i won't be paying just the 3 months interest but more than that due to effective rate. so she said better not early settle. full tenure 12 months more worth it.

No take loan is better.

Yes, your banker is correct.
Settle earlier won't result in saving interest, as term loan interest is calculated straight line one.

Term loan works like this.
You take 50k at 3%, means your total pay back is 51.5K for 12 months.

Then 51.5K / 12 = your month repayment = 4291

It works out you are paying 125 interest per month.

For the first month, Rm125 is 3% of your 50k
For the second month, you still paying Rm125 interest, but you only owe them 45709. = 3.28% pa.
For the third month, you still paying Rm125, but with 41418 balance = 3.62%

oh wow, so cheeky ya the bank. actually ah, this is quite equal to zero interest payment scheme (say I buy something RM30k), 12 months but zero interest. if use credit card, got many some 1% cash rebate some more. even then, they will earn something, so this 3% they earn more liao.
