Went to CIMB bank just now, for 70K LA with 11yr tenure:
MRTA is around RM 800
MLTA is around RM 1550
both if not include in the LA it will be slightly (RM 20-50) cheaper. But what i dont understand is that MLTA is said to be payable in monthly/yearly basis (from the previous few replies). Is it advisable if i paid it in lumpsum in the beginning, or i can neg with bank to pay it in installment basis? and if i paid in lumpsum and i manage to settle my loan earlier, will i get discount or more interest?
Normally I don't think it's refundable on the premium. You can check with the insurance company you're buying though.
Thus for my case, I do not plan to insure for the full tenure. I paid yearly something like when you buy a car than yearly you insure based on the amount you owe. My plan is when my loan amount goes below RM100k, I might not want to buy MLTA anymore.
Also another word of advise. Never include the premium into your loan as the amount might be lesser, but than again if you are tro compound it into a say a 30 years loan.......
Say 5.7% interest per annum.
MRTA - RM800 premium = RM871.55 interest charged = RM1671.55 total paid.
MRTA - RM1550 premium = RM1688.63 interest charged = RM3283.63 total paid.

hi, is your term loan here equivalent to MLTA?
yeah....Mortgage Loan Term Assurance which I renew yearly. Might have used the wrong word.
