Hi,

I have came across the bank islam's new promotion advertisement for PL.
5.1% p.a

i have made the following calculations:

--------------------------------------------------------
loan amt - RM20K
repayment tenure - 3 years
int rate (flat) p.a. - 5.1%
mth repayment - RM640.56

simple rate p.a - 9.49%
EIR - 9.91%

--------------------------------------------------------

is it correct to use the EIR (9.49%) here to compare with the credit card rate (13.5%)?
if tat is correct, is it worth to take PL?

thanks.

Not really.
You have to bare in mind that Credit Card interest is on reducing balance.
You just need to compare it in excel and do a simple calculation side by side.
Couple of us did it before in the previous pages and seems that CC mostly won over UPL. That is if you have the discipline of not to spend further after you repay. wink.gif
