Share the T&C here.
I would like to see which bank is stupid enough to hide their fees on their t&c.
If i'm the bank i would state every penalty on the t&c so in future there will be no dispute.
Ya, let's translate this, maybe this worth immediate attention of public and central bank, which we all including BNM are being fooled by this T&c. In T&C, customer who early settle is entitled for a rebate, and the bank did not mention anything about penalty and eventually after the amount is generated,
there is 18.5% huge "unknown fee'' silently charged to a genuine customer who wish to return back the money to the bank earlier.
10. Early Settlement. The Borrower may at any time effect early
settlement of the Facility in full by giving three (3) months’ prior
written notice to the Bank, or payment of three (3) months’ interest
on the amount redeemed, in lieu of notice. A rebate for early
settlement ("Rebate") on the remaining interest to be charged will
be granted to the Borrower over the unexpired period commencing
after the three (3) months’ notice period. The Rebate shall be
calculated in accordance with the following formula**:
R = (n-3) (n-2) x I where, N(N+1)
R Rebate (RM)
n Number of Monthly Instalments
over the unexpired period
N Loan Tenure
I Interest payable for the whole
Loan Tenure (RM)
An illustration of how the Rebate is calculated for a 60 month Loan
(5 years) with a principal amount of RM50,000 and interest rate of
12.5% per annum, but with early settlement after 20 months (where
early settlement notice is served on the Bank before the next Monthly
Instalment due date), is provided below:
N = 60
n = 60 - 20
I = 50,000 x 12.5/100 x 5 = 31,250
R = (40-3)(40-2) x 31,250 = RM12,000.78
60(60+1)
Note :
**The Rebate will be calculated based on the "Rule of 78" or "Sum
of Digits" whereby the method of calculation of the proportion of
principal and interest payable for the entire loan assumes that the
interest forms a larger percentage of the monthly instalments during
the early stage of the loan. The Borrower shall repay all Monthly
Instalments payable over the unexpired period subject to the Rebate
