There isn't a catch in 0% installment plans. For people with a good grasp of their financials, this payment method has no downsides at all.

What the bank is doing is trying to catch the people who can't afford to fully pay off their credit card bills every month. The "possible" interest rate from the credit card amount owed is the whole idea of offering such plans.

Different people different financial management. A lot of reasons why one don't take 0% installment.

1. They think got hidden agenda.
2. They have the mindset that "installment means can't afford".
3. They prefer one-off payment so no need to worry about monthly installments later.
4. They lack of self-discipline - may use the money to spend on other stuff instead of paying monthly installments.
5. They don't want the installment amount to fill up their credit limit.
6. They may want to apply loan in the near future so they want a better DSR.

and so on.

Buying iphone itself is already stupid.
Buying iphone through installment though is the next level of stupid

Nowadays even Lazada and shopee also don't offer 0% installment.

Wonder why? Probably pushing their own paylater service?

I don't have that mindset. But apparently a lot of /ktards think that it's OK to take 3% installment to buy car but it's not OK to take 0% installment to buy phone. Maybe they can answer you.

If you are 100% confident you can pay the instalment on time, 0% easy payment is smarter than paying in full by cash.

Guys, question

If buy phone using CC instalment, eg:RM4200, the CC limit must be above Rm4.2k right?
*
yaaaa, and the outstanding balance will take up your cc limit (diminish as you pay). but whose cc limit is only 4.2k ?
