Rhb is automatically applied. We have to opt out ourselves. And that's the answer (my previous post) I received when i ask the staff at branch. My online bank account doesn't say anything.

can i know like whats good for taking full?
as the amount for premium also quite alot

My point of view is take until you know you can direct pay back the property full in cash. Or if your family members can pay back in full. Maybe 5 years, 10 years down the line? If unfortunate things happen your immediate family can direct settle full in cash. Of course this is not a fool proof method but a way to lower your premium.

Consider two situations:-
A - I apply loan for a lower percentage (let's say 500k).
B - I apply loan for the full 90% (meaning my loan amount 1 million) and then deposit 500k and leave it in the current account linked to the full flexi loan.

In both situations - would the amount I owe and interest I have to pay be more, the same, or less in A or B case? Or is this question missing some details meaning it cannot be reasonably answered?

Not an expert but if im in your situation i would go with option B on two reasons.
01. Higher loan amount usually get lower interest rate therefore you will have savings there.
02. Extra cash where you can put in the account during high interest rate and take out for other things during low interest rate environment.

Of course you need to consider insurance, legal, loan fees as well but if you get 0.25-0.5% less on the rate due to higher loan amount is already good enough.

This is not quite true. At most, higher loan amounts than RM500k can get a savings of 0.05% on the rate, and usually none. If you compare RM200k loan with RM1mil loan, what you say might hold true, but not when comparing RM500k with RM1mil.

Well I myself don't have multiple loans so can't say for sure. But looking at the last 10 pages loan offers posted by others seems like 1mil loan definitely got some preferential rate compared to 500k loan. but again their pakaging with MLTA etc. is different.

Either way, if you got a 0.25%-0.5% difference in rate go for the higher amount, if the bank not willing to give preferential rate then go for the lower amount loan. Take whatever that benefits you the most!

Sifus, seek your opinions and expertise.

Am applying for housing loan and agent is looking at RHB, MBB and PBB.

RHB and MBB is the full flexi loans whereby you put in additional money, it'll reduce your monthly payment by reducing the interest amount. Tenure of loan doesn't change.

PBB-i semi flexi loan is different, whereby even if you put in more money, the monthly installment doesn't change, but more of the monthly payment will be towards reducing principal. Hence, tenure will reduce and overall you save interest also la. Was told withdrawal of the extra funds is possible, without any charges.

I am on the fence here. Whilst PBB interest rate might be lower 0.05%, but I suspect I'd like the flexibility where the monthly installment will be reduced if I put in additional money. (Re)withdrawing the additional money I assume is easy and is free for all the loan above.

What are your thoughts ? Which will you choose ?

I will go with RHB. The flexibility is important for emergencies. MBB i think got monthly fees. If there isn't then you can choose between RHB and MBB. PBB you need to visit branch for a withdrawal (also i think there's a fee). Not ideal. But then again really depends on your amount if RM500k loan the monthly payment is around RM13 extra if your loan is RM3.5mil then the monthly difference is RM85? If you deemed the savings is worthwhile then go with the lowest rate.
