Hi guys,

Just applied for this account mid month, having moved from OCBC 360. Anyone notice any discrepancy in the calculation for the spend bonus (1.5%) for March? From my calculations it is more like 1% (and I've factored in the fact that the spend bonus only applies to MAB up to 100,000)

So conclusion from me it was more like 0.5% (base) + 2% (save) + 1% (spend). I to plan to call the bank and clarify why this is. Just wondering if anyone has noticed this? If your MAB is less than 100,000 the spend bonus should be 0.75 times of your save bonus.

it's daily rest - have you factored the reduced days from mid month?

Based on GrumpyNooby post it is very close to 1.5 / 100 * 100000 * 31 / 365
*
Based on MAB of 100,000, if I use 1.5 / 100 * 100000 * 31 / 365, I get RM 127.397
But this year is a leap year right, if I use 1.5 / 100 * 100000 * 31 / 366, I get RM 127.049

Yes I have. My save tallies perfectly (literally to the sen). Base interest also tallies to the sen (but only if you factor one year = 366 days). But the spend is off... MAB is < 100000. Maybe the calculation mechanism is slightly different for spend. I guess I'll keep this in view and check again in May for the month of April when I have a full month with the bank..

The save bonus you divided with 365 or 366?

Save divided by 365.. Base divided by 366.. Baru everything tally...

Yes, agreed with you.

Base Interest: / 366
Save & Spend Bonus Interest: / 365

I had reconciled all the calculation and the difference is only 1 cents.

If you buy UT from the banks, normally they'll assign you a WP or RM to deal with you inclusive of the account opening.

just looking at the options to get the extra 2% interest.
*
If they charge you 3% for equity/balanced fund in order to qualify for the extra 2%, would you still buy them given the very high volatility of current world equity market?

that's why wanna look at the sales charge of some of the unit trusts. need to buy those with minimum 2.5% sales charge. also for unit trust condition, only 2% interest for up to 20k only. personally, i think a lot of funds are lowish now, which makes sense to pick up some. provided they are good funds.

but not sure if i want to go through all the trouble for that little 2% of 20k.
*
I'll go to CIMBClicks as they're charging 1% for a lot of funds.

Before you go tekan the bank, do ensure the settlement date of your WMP that you bought falls in February and not on March.

I heard the interest will still compound on your principal but not on top of your loan interest.
Don't know how true is that.
*
Amount of principal is frozen from the start of moratorium.
Interest will be accrued based on the frozen amount.
You have accumulated interest during the period.

there is only one way to make money out of this, ie make sure ur investment is consistently higher than mortgage interest in the next 30 years or so.

That's true.
For example, if your total monthly repayment is close to RM 20k and you're not capped to RM 100k for this PSA with current subscription to the highest tier at 6% pa.
Even you're at 4% tier, you won't gain much.

I guess ure referring to the asnb thread?

I guess the monthly interest accrued based on the frozen principal amount is lower than the ‘possible’ return in forms of dividend, hence, why those people are taking advantage of the moratorium.

Moratorium thread.
I don't know there's heavy discussion in that too since I don't have those products in my hand.

Ya, I know that. But 4% PrivilegeSaver is > 3.75% interest. I know the saving might be little, but heh free money right. 😆

Using RP example of principal amount of RM 500k with loan interest of 4% and monthly repayment is RM 2390.52.
user posted image
At end of September, your accrued interest is RM 10,000.02.

Let's say you're to divert the 6-month repayment into PSA, the total amount is RM 14343.12.
The total interest earned at 4% is RM 167.92 for the period from 1/4/2020 to 30/9/2020.

April 2020 2390.52 7.86
May 2020 2390.52 16.24
June 2020 2390.52 23.58
July 2020 2390.52 32.48
Aug 2020 2390.52 40.61
Sep 2020 2390.52 47.16
TOTAL 167.93
Worth it?

And where is the free money comes from?
Your housing loan is still accruing interest (not no interest at all).

if u are very sure that PSA or similar investment/account can give u 4% per annum for 30 years and your mortgage loan interest will remain 3.75% for the next 30 years. then yes.
extend this to 30 years

This only valid if you do no need the money on 1/10/2020 and beyond.
On 1/10/2020, I need to service the housing loan and the diverted amount needs to be withdrawn out to put back to the housing loan.

Actually it is 2.5 % for almost all unit trusts, except the ones that not mainly invest in stocks (then it is lower and will not qualify).

Usually the informations sheets from the unit trust companies show higher sales charge, but that is only the top barrier. Surely at other places you can get lower than 2.5, but the combo of 2.5 charge and 2.0 bonus is quite attractive if you keep the investment down to the minimum requirement of 1k a month.

The Invest Bonus interest is only limited to first RM 20k of MAB only right?

Hello Sifusss, for spending part, is it possible using debit card to spend in order to get the 1.5% interest rate?

No.
This is not similar to OCBC 360/360i account.
