With the BR framework and we could see Maybank the lowest at 3.2 big banks generally lower BR, for all banks effective loan rate basically the same my QUESTION is is it wiser to have loans with bigger banks than smaller banks by lookIng at the BR

Nope, there is no basis to say BIG banks will have lower BR in general.  You may refer to post#97 and #115 to see the current BR of the banks.

By just looking at the BR, no conclusion can be drawn whether bigger banks are better than smaller ones.  Still have to look at the all in rate, ie the effective lending rate.

Thanks. Salute!!

One more thing

Going forward are the bigger banks going to have less volatile BR than smaller banks, so getting loans with bigger banks is better?

How volatile the BR is not depending on the size of the bank. BR cmprised of 2 things - the benchmark cost of funds and the SRR. SRR requirement is the same for all banks. As for the benchmark cost of funds, different banks may use different benchmark but most are using 3M KLIBOR.  Banks that use the same benchmark, regardless their size, is expected to exhibit the same volatility and quantum of adjustment.
