Bro, outstanding balance and principle is different wan ke? Oppss didn't know that bro..haha. btw, I checked the outstanding balance at ambank apps also at bank negara ECCRIS website...
*
Yup, it's different. I'm not sure if you can see the outstanding principal in the Ambank online banking (sometimes app show less info compared to desktop), but if you can't, I believe you can call them and ask to know your outstanding principal.

Yes but the calculation for interest payment will be from the accrued interest right? So that means less payment for principal?
*
No. The accrued interest will be cleared first, then only will start paying for principal.

Bro if all the installment will deduct the accrued interest first... Then why is the bank extending the tenure for 6 months also?
*
Because during moratorium, you did not paying installments for 6 months....

This is what I meant guys... I don't understand why there two charges?😭  (The reply from customer service department)

I don't get why you are saying there is two charges. Even if there is no accrued interest, your tenure will still be extended since you did not pay anything for 6 months.

There is no two charges, because you are only paying the interest part for the 6 months moratorium, not full installments. Unless you are paying full installments, then it is logical if you don't have to extend the tenure.

And the keyword is 'at least'. It can be more.

QUOTE(haziqnet @ Aug 21 2020, 09:09 AM)
yes correct bro. Because asbf use reducing balanced method to calculate the interest. Meaning the interest payment will be based on your financing balance. Let say you financing balance after moratorium is 195k

so the calculation is like this

30/360 x 4.8% x 195k = 780 (after moratorium)

lets say before moratorium your financing balanced is 190k so the calculation as below,

30/360 x 4.8% x 190k = 760 (before moratorium)

See your interest payment increase after moratorium therefore this will make your principal deduction lesser.
*
It's true that ASBF is using reducing-balance method but it is not very straightforward when moratorium is factored in like your calculation because BNM is not allowing banks to compound the accrued interest/profit.

But until your accrued interest is cleared off, your principal will not be reduced, hence the interest portion of the installments will be compounded. That is why I am advising it's either pay lump sum accrued interest or just terminate.

On the contrary, I dont 'want' any cause I'm not bothered to take the moratarium. So I dont get why this haziq fella keep saying I'm worried about something I am not even considering.

Oklah I get it that some people are struggling with their finances and want to opt in, but unless you're the bank nobody can give an explanation. All you're doing is speculating as you readily admit.  What is annoying is that agents are not telling the whole truth, all they say is 'you still profit', but no mention of other risks.

Anyway, good luck to those taking the moratarium, hope your speculations present a positive outcome.

I believe haziqnet means no harm and it's just misunderstanding from poor worded sentence.

This is just bad advice from someone who clearly does not understand how asbf and interests work.

The asbf interest is lower than the dividend payout, why would you pay upfront to reduce the principal. To maximize profit, settling the loan has never been the goal. This has been explained numerous times in this thread.
*
I have to agree with you on this. It will defeat the purpose of ASBF if you pay upfront to reduce the principal.

Unless to pay upfront annually just to make it easier to not bother about monthly payment. In this case, the principal/interest amount will still be the same as if you pay monthly.

well its possible to terminate ASB1 financing and reapply a new one.. but not for ASB2 financing
*
If you can't afford to pay the lump sum accrued interest, then I assume you can't afford ASBF anyway. Hence, the suggestion.

You still need to pay the accrued interest first before terminated it, right? then what's the point?

Customer: "Hi, I want to terminated ASBF"
Bank: "Hi, since you want to terminate ASB, then your accrued interest these six months will be terminated too, then you're free to go."

I don't think the situation will be like this.
*
The point is u won't incur losses from extra compounded interest.

You still have to pay the accrued interest but it will be later covered by the dividend.

Hi, what does ā€œProfit chargedā€ mean in my asbf loan statement mean, is it refer to interest rate?

The amount varies monthly to monthly, hovering around 750rm per month.

Meanwhile my monthly installment is 1030 now.
*
Yup. For islamic financing, it is not interest but profit instead.

I'm a noob. I thought asbf can be taken at any time. So there is a certain time to apply for asbf?
I saw this on fb too, saying asb2 is going to be available. Rate 4.45. or any lower?
*
Asb and asb2 is different fund. Both has options for financing. However asb has better dividend compared to asb2. And asb2 financing will not always available depends on quota by pnb. Because mostly asb2f takers are the one who already maxxed out 200k asbf

50mil quota has been finished for asb2f and currently pnb is adding another 50mil quota.

I can help if anyone prefer to do asb2f with rhb , rate is 4.3
