thanks for the link.

Its not silly at all, for 36mths u only pay for 7%, thats effective rate of 2.33% per annual.

I will prolly max up affin balance transfer 1st, and slowly pay it for 3 years.

BSN comes second (24mth @ 4.5%) and 3rd would be PBB (24mth @ 5%).

AEON will be last for short term cash rolling.  smile.gif

it gets more scary when you said you want to take BT to whole new level.

Bear in mind, bank is in the market to make money out of you. you need to read up.

The affin bank 7% over 36months, should be at about 4-5% per year effective interest rate (EIR). BSN and PBB the EIR is about 8% - 9+% per year. if you don't need the BT, then these are not for you. if you do need it, it is better than paying 18% p.a. to the bank on the outstanding balance of your credit card.

Dude just spoken to Affin Bank staff, he said that up front is only once so 7% (36mths tenure) for ur total BT value.

Lets say u BT RM10 k
Up front payment is RM700
Ur principle will be split into 36mths which is average RM277.78 per mth.

For others i am not sure yet. Anyway thanks for pointing it out.

bearbear already knows how to calculate... it's you who do not understand.

read the links i posted earlier... if you have read, you would have known how the banks calculate..

all the banks calculate the same way...

out of curiousity, seems like the fellow forummers here quite fearless... the fee waiver got quota leh.

RM3.6million means only RM120million worth of balance transfer...

I wanted to but, after seeing that quota, i think twice...

Applied 2pm on 20th, approved with sms received at 6pm, email was abit later at 8pm though. Money transferred by mbb on 21st, reflected on 22nd. Account in credit status. Btw, anyone tried withdrawing the ‘credit’ from uob? What sort of excuses you give if the CS ask? Wanna avoid suspicion.

since someone tried citibank but failed...

Hi guys,

the last MBB BT plan G, they did charged the 3% one time fee to my credit card because i apply the promo via m2u on 28th dec. but the amount still reflect there in my acc until today. Is it normal to keep waiting or should i call them to waive it?

This MBB really took 7 working days to transfer the surplus amount in credit to CASA. take note.
*
mine was applied and approved 20th... Just check m2u this morning, they have credited back (based on my O/S balance).

I still can't view the reversal transaction under transaction history. so ya, not sure if yours will be in the same time as mine.

Just wanted to add an update to my previous posts.

I previously reported that transferring the credit balance from HLB CC to CASA was very easy (did it several times). However, some forummers have subsequently reported that they were unable to extract their funds as HLB said something about a new BNM policy.

I can't verify the above as I did not do it myself. But if you're attempting to use HLB, please proceed with caution as your money may be "stuck".

*
So... my boyfriend did that, to the HLB CC, using the maybank promo. Well, it's annoying because the amount is not small.

First phone call to CS, CS said it's OK, will transfer to HLB CASA.

2nd phone call from CS, CS said have to come from the original bank.

3rd phone call from CS, CS said have to transfer back to the maybank CC. we just give up. future expenses will be diverted to the HLB CC

Based on my unused Ikhwan card, I can BT 90% of my total credit limit, but I just apply for 84% of my total credit limit only. after it is approved, then balance 14% become maximum available for BT. blink.gif

actually i still cannot figure out maybank's formula... if i max out on 2nd bt, i will be using 97% of my credit limit (including the little retail amount i swipe recently)

Maybank treat their customer so good, they earn nothing from it right ?

customer retention... it's similar to those banks which offers RMxx amount if they don't cancel their card within xx period.

different form of rewarding us, that's all.

hi all
i tried apply MBB BT through maybank2u today..
received email said approved in principle..
then later received sms saying
"we regret to inform that we are unable to accede to your Balance Transfer appl.
Thank you for your interest shown."

anyone got such experience?
thanks
*
Friend has similar experience. It still depends pn your creditworthiness i think, to a certain extent, because my friend who got rejected had car loan and also instalment on the mbb card.

From your experience, how long did MBB take to refund back the 3% charge?
*
this is 2nd time doing

1st time doing... it took 20+ days. I think i missed the cutoff for the earlier batch.

since they do it by batch. my friend who apply about 10 days later, got it on the same day as me.

how to calculate how much do i need to pay per month if i did BT from maybank (7200) to cimb for 12 months?
7.99% pa for 12 months.

7200 / 12 months = 600 per month

if i need to pay full each month , that means i need to pay full amount shown for outstanding balance?
*
Interest is 7.99% * 7200 = 575.28

Principal + Interest = 7775.28

Repayment per month = 7775.28 / 12 = 647.94

Please be aware that effective interest rate is 14.43%. Not much savings from 18% pa credit card interest rate.

Btw, for those who applied via m2u for the promo starting march 2017, anyone got their refund yet?

even assuming those applying on the 1st, well, the 30 days has been reached. Just checking. my application was on the 9th.

just curious

if you only pay minimum to SC every month, the outstanding will show up on CCRIS no?

then I think maybank will be very worried?
*
Actually, mbb can see only outstanding I believe. If every month pay above minimum, ccris still show 0. So, if his record not nice, can be rejected. Even if cc approved, bt may be rejected. But in his case better to try lo.
