True that, I have never experienced such thing with any bank before. We should be able to exercise our rights as a client. I suspect that he is collaborating with my agent to speed up my SPA to hit their sales commission. I am going to wait for offers from other banks in the mean time.

Nothing wrong in telling some white lies to close sales. Every salesman does it. As long there are no flaws in the offer.

As consumer or borrower, you decide.

I reckon that but to ask the consumer to give feedback within a short span of time without disclosing the terms and conditions in the first place is pretty unethical.

You can request for the LO letter and if the terms are not favourable DONT sign.

Btw, borrowers CANNOT change the tnc. Either agree or otherwise.

Borrower looks for few important things in any loan agreement ..
1. Interest rate and overdue repayment interest
2. Flexi, semi or non
3. Mrta /Mlta
4. Early settlement penalty

For the rest of the tnc, many borrowers will never understand.

During the initial application with all banks, the loan officer would have brief the borrower. The LO is just a formality.

The thing is he won't issue the letter unless it is confirmed that I will sign the offer letter.

The LO should be the same as the verbal quote on the main points as explained ealier, otherwise dont sign unless you want to enquire with other banks.

The rest is not 'important' since there is no way you can change or understand it.

You cant use LO bank A to compare with bank B as it will never be the same other than those main points.

If you are happy with main points and is tbe best you have shop, sign.

Btw, comparing should happen at the 'shopping' stage. You cant be asking every bank to issue LO just for 'comparing'

I am actually still waiting for deals with other banks as they are still estimating my interest rate based on my profile. Thus, I need time to compare the deals. To issue a LO and right away ask the client to sign especially without disclosing the TNC doesn't seem professional tbh. Even though explanation has been made verbally, it will be much better if we could go through the document and check on the details, even for once.

I appreciate your insight and advice on this matter. Are you a banker by profession?

Just inform him that you are still shopping. Once he is shorlisted, then you will sign. You can then go through the details on the day of signing. Ask questions and once you fully understood, then sign.

80% of the tnc you and I will never really understand.

Btw, no banks will like their unsign LO circulating in the market.

Yes I have already informed him that. Initially, he said he cannot wait. Still awaiting further replies.

He will wait.
