Standardised Base Rate/ Kadar Asas Standard = 2.75%

What is the Standardised Base Rate (“SBR”)?

Apakah Kadar Asas Standard (“KAS”)?

The SBR is the reference rate that all banks will use starting from 1 August 2022 in the pricing of new retail floating-rate loans/financings, refinancing of existing retail loans/financings, and the renewal of revolving retail loans/financings from 1 August 2022. Retail loans/financings refer to loans/financings to individuals (not SMEs or businesses), while ‘floating-rate loans/financings’ refer to loans/financings where the interest/profit/rental rate can change during the lifetime of the loans/financing. The SBR is linked solely to the Overnight Policy Rate (OPR), as determined by the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) of Bank Negara Malaysia.

KAS ialah kadar rujukan yang akan digunakan oleh semua bank mulai 1 Ogos 2022 dalam penetapan harga pinjaman/ pembiayaan kadar terapung runcit baharu, pembiayaan semula pinjaman/ pembiayaan runcit sedia ada, dan pembaharuan pinjaman/ pembiayaan runcit pusingan mulai 1 Ogos 2022 Pinjaman/pembiayaan runcit merujuk kepada pinjaman/pembiayaan kepada individu (bukan Pembiayaan Komersial untuk Syarikat (“PKS”) atau perniagaan), manakala ‘pinjaman/ pembiayaan kadar terapung’ merujuk kepada pinjaman/ pembiayaan di mana kadar faedah/ keuntungan/ sewaan boleh berubah sepanjang hayat pinjaman/ pembiayaan. KAS dikaitkan semata-mata kepada Kadar Dasar Semalaman (“KDS”), seperti yang ditentukan oleh Jawatankuasa Dasar Monetari (“MPC”) Bank Negara Malaysia.

What are the possible scenarios to trigger a change in SBR?

Apakah senario yang mungkin boleh mencetuskan perubahan dalam KAS?

The SBR can rise or fall due to changes in the benchmark rate, i.e. changes in Overnight Policy Rate (“OPR”).

KAS boleh naik atau turun disebabkan oleh perubahan dalam kadar penanda aras, iaitu perubahan dalam Kadar Dasar Semalaman (“KDS”).

Catatan:

KAS telah diperkenalkan pada 1 Ogos 2022. Garis putus-putus dalam graf dan nombor kelabu dalam jadual menunjukkan siri sejarah KDS, iaitu kadar penanda aras KSA.

Kadar berkesan indikatif merujuk kepada indikatif kadar pinjaman/pembiayaan berkesan tahunan untuk pinjaman perumahan / produk pembiayaan rumah untuk 30 tahun dengan jumlah pembiayaan RM350k dan tidak mempunyai tempoh berkunci.

Base Rate / Kadar Asas = 3.27%

What is the base rate (BR)?

Apakah Kadar Asas (KA)?

The BR we offer on this product is made up of two parts, our benchmark cost of funds (“COF”) and the Statutory Reserve Requirement (“SRR”) cost imposed by Bank Negara Malaysia. Our benchmark COF is the marginal cost of raising funds for the property financings for individual.

KA yang kami tawarkan pada produk ini terdiri daripada dua bahagian, kos penanda aras dana (“COF”) dan kos Keperluan Rizab Berkanun (“SRR”) yang dikenakan oleh Bank Negara Malaysia. Penanda aras COF kami ialah kos marginal untuk mengumpul dana bagi pembiayaan hartanah untuk individu. 

What are possible scenarios to trigger a change in the BR?

Apakah senario yang mungkin boleh mencetuskan perubahan dalam KA?

Our BR can rise or fall due to changes in the benchmark COF and changes in the SRR.

KA kami boleh naik atau turun disebabkan oleh perubahan dalam penanda aras COF dan perubahan dalam SRR.

Changes in the benchmark COF could occur due to changes in the Overnight Policy Rate (“OPR”) as decided by the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) of Bank Negara Malaysia. In addition, as the benchmark COF is the marginal cost of raising funds, it will change in line with fluctuation in the market funding condition.

Perubahan dalam COF penanda aras boleh berlaku disebabkan perubahan dalam Kadar Dasar Semalaman (“KDS”) seperti yang diputuskan oleh Jawatankuasa Dasar Monetari (“MPC”) Bank Negara Malaysia. Di samping itu, sebagai penanda aras COF ialah kos marginal untuk mengumpul dana, ia akan berubah sejajar dengan turun naik dalam keadaan pembiayaan pasaran.

SRR cost will change in line with changes in the SRR rate as decided by MPC of Bank Negara Malaysia.

Kos SRR akan berubah selaras dengan perubahan dalam kadar SRR seperti yang diputuskan oleh MPC Bank Negara Malaysia.
