hey all, need your experts help/advice on which bank having the best rate/loan package for buying a completed properties?
I understand that there are few type of loan, some with current account means you can put more money into then it will reduced interest while others are fixed term loan. So what's the different?
The loan with current account will be Flexi loan, you can save alot of interest by just putting in your extra cash flow and will reduce alot in the interest. This flexi loan is the most popular loan type for current market.I understand that there are few type of loan, some with current account means you can put more money into then it will reduced interest while others are fixed term loan. So what's the different?
The different between normal term loan and flexi loan is that you can put in extra money anytime without any troblesome letter or notice in flexi loan. And also you may withdraw the money anytime without any charges. As the interest will be calculate base on daily basic, If you put in RM100 for 1 week in the current account, you will save RM100 interest for 1week.
You cannot do this in the normal term loan.
Althought normal term loan you may also dump in extra money as u wish, but you will need to notice the bank and tell them clearly that the money is use to reduce principle, this is very important and if you didn't do this, the extra money you put in will be just park at side and use as advance installment for coming month.
Summore if you've already dump in extra money in normal term loan account, when ever you wan to withdraw the money, you need to inform the bank few days earlier and will be charge around rm50 per transaction/withdraw.
The rate between this 2 type of loan is only + - 0.1% to 0.2% only, normal term loan will have slighly better rate compare with flexi loan.
Please take note that even some bank say that their loan is semi flexi, its just a normal term loan that no need you to inform bank to reduce principle when you dump in extra money. When you need to withdraw the extra money, the bank will still charge you per transaction.
That''s why those semi flexi loan interest is same like normal term loan.
If you are the type of people that every month earn RM5k, then spend RM5k also, i will sugest you just take the normal term loan. Simply because you will no gain or save anythings when you use flexi loan. just take the normal one for the slighly better rate.
If you are the type of people that every month earn RM5k, then spend RM4900 or lesser, then you can go for flexi loan. This little money you saved every month will help you reduce the interest by alot.
For which bank is better, it will need to consider alot like your loan amount, which type of loan you prefer. For flexi loan, its better to choose those bank that convenience to you as you might every day or week go bank in your extra cash to save interest.
Sometimes, the 0.1% or 0.2% is not that really important, more important is the bank service and most convenience to you.
