Can someone please help advise on this?

So if I have taken up this Flexi loan, say RM200k, and within the next few months re-paid in full amount. That would leave ~RM200k balance that I'm free to withdrawn, plus no interest chargeable.

The questions are:
1) How does the monthly installments work then? Is it still needed to pay every month? That will bring the account to a positive value, with the extra amount not interest payable (as compared to putting it in FD).

2) If the loan tenure is for 30 years. Any problem to just leave the amount there for like 10 years? Lock in period before redeem title is 5 years.

To answer your questions.
If you have repay your loan amount in full, you do not need to pay the monthly installments after that.
If you the extra cash, might as well put in FD, invest in other, etc. As putting extra money into the flexi account does not generate interest.
You could leave your flexi account for the duration you want. Just that there is a monthly charge of RM10/ mth.

This is just from my own experience of using a Flexi loan

Thanks. If that's the case, I can just transfer the entire sum of money, plus a little to cover the month RM10 for some period.

If u have extra cash eg. RM100k, u can put it into this flexi loan. It will help reduce the principal which in turn helps to reduce the interest that needs to be paid during the tenure. At the end, u might shorten your loan period from 30 to eg. 15 yrs without u knowing it.

Thanks. This, though, I'm aware. I was just wondering what happens when all RM200k is thrown into the account.

It works the same way. The bank would deduct a min of 100-200 monthly & this will direct deduct your principle. Not sure how they calculate this small amount but this is what I have experienced with StandChart with all my saving thrown in which is equivalent to the outstanding loan amount.

I was away and late to read this. But thanks for your comment. smile.gif

When you have thrown in additional money, do you still need to pay the monthly installment or will it be deducted from the balance automatically (until the extras depleted).

Auto deduct from the extra $$$ deposited.

So if I deposited extra 1 year worth of repayment, there is no need to make any payment for the whole of this year? Just want to confirm before HSBC starts calling me for payment.

Yup. U can also monitor the monthly statements that will be sending to you (or E-statement online).
*
The statements always states a monthly repayment amount, which is based on BLR and tenure only. So I'm not sure if it's ok to skip payment as long as there are surplus inside the account .

U will see that your current balance in the account will be reduced and that's the amount deducted for your monthly repayment or u call it principal.

Yup. OK thanks smile.gif
