Note : Profit Sharing Ratio (PSR) in the page is just FYI on how the profit was shared between the bank and you as part of the islamic Mudarabah concept.
Note 2 : Layman wise, you are entitled to the profit rate quoted without any extra calculation
Pros:
i) Profit calculated daily, flat profit rate for the whole balance, no tiered and hidden condition  biggrin.gif

ii) Irregardless of placed tenure, you will get back principal + profit for the amount days placed even if you uplift prematurely, provides high flexibility and liquidity.  rclxms.gif

iii) Higher profit rate compared to saving accounts and board FD. rclxms.gif

iv) Similar to eFD, you can place multiple certificates, each with different amount and tenure to suit your purposes smile.gif

Cons:
i) Once you placed, you cannot uplift on the day itself, can only uplift the next day onwards bruce.gif

ii) Similar to eFD, you can only place and uplift from 6am to 10pm, daily including weekends and public holiday

iii) No PIDM protection.  blush.gif

iv) Influenced by OPR, in the event of profit rate changes, you will entitled the profit rate according to the duration of your placement (refer to historical profit rate)  blush.gif

If increase in rate. Lets say Maybank announce Indicative rate is 3.50% (PSR 50:50) but due to high performance of retail asset investment and good OPR, they give 3.60%... Does it mean that PSR also shift, 55 : 45 (customer: Bank ) too??

This is just to understand the product more.

No. The rate they give you (3.55%) is the 70% part of the PSR. The 30% they keep. Is fixed.

So the pre-agreed PSR of 70:30 for example, does not change ever?
even when they announce a higher rate due to performing investment..?

Thanks Ramjade
