still the same if u pay by bi-weekly.
worst case u still in loss.

loan 400k
tenure 35 yr
monthly installment 1843.79
interest 4.3%
due date every 1st day of the month
full flexi loan

daily interest 400k x 4.3% / 365 = 47.1232

at 15th of the month
Payoff amount 400k + 15 x 4.3% / 365 = 400k + 706.8493 = 400706.8493
Outstanding amount 400k

Option 1(pay bi-weekly)
Assuming u pay bi-weekly which is at 15th of the month
Payoff amount 400706.8493 - (1843.79/2) = 399784.9543
Outstanding amount 400k

take note that the interest rate is calculate based on the outstanding amount which is 400k and the interest rate will be 47.1232/day
Option 2(offset principle, withdrawal option)
Assuming at 15th of the month, u use (1843.79/2) and bank in to offset the principle, withdrawalable
Payoff amount 400706.8493
Outstanding amount 400k - (1843.79/2) = 399078.105

interest rate after 15th will be based on 399078.105 which is 47.01468/day

Summary, its not worth to pay bi-weekly and a lot of agent is giving false info on this.

So if my monthly installment is 2k, there is no point paying 1k on the 15th and 1k on the 30th, the amount I paid will still be the same?
