hmmm...i can see my housing loan now is charging me 3.9% interest....so FD can get up till 4.8% already...i guess it makes sense now not to make extra payment for home loan and just put in FD instead better...

But housing loan interest is calculated by multiplying your loan amount no? Let’s say you take 1 mil loan x interest rate. I don’t think putting extra money into FD will give you any advantage, you should prioritise to settle that loan first right? Correct me if I’m wrong

The bonus earns 4.5%. Basic Savings Account pay out interest of 0.25%

So effective interest is 4.75%? laugh.gif

4.5 minus 0.25%
where got count accumulation?

Why not? Bonus means extra wat. Doesn't mean the existing default interest rate is not given. Anyway I checked with HLB and I am right. 4.5% bonus + 0.25% default.

Is the interest earn daily? Cause I checked mine and no interest was credit in.

Which interest are you referring to? The bonus interest or the default interest?

Bonus interest is as per T&C lo.

Default interest is calculated daily but paid half yearly. https://www.hlb.com.my/en/personal-banking/...gs-account.html

Info from fb: Webull will top up the monthly money market fund return to 6.0% via a booster coupon, effective for 90 days. The top up is not in cash? What can we do with the Booster coupon?
*
Booster coupon is to topup the difference lo between MMF interest and 6%.

For instance if MMF provide a 3.5% return, booster coupon will give you additional 2.5%, so total you get is 6%
