A thorough ASB financing review, so to speak.
Highlights of ASB Investment either using ASB Loan or ASB Saving
ASB loans are basic term loans, and interest charged on ASB loans is calculated using the reducing balance method (similar to those used by Housing Loans and Fixed Deposits). Most ASB loans today use floating interest rates, so interest rates will change according to Base Rate.
It is basically borrowing an initial capital from banks to invest into Amanah Saham Bumiputera, then use the returns generated to pay down the bank borrowings while keeping the balance.
Much like mortgage insurances, customers can optionally choose to cover their ASB loans with insurance / Takaful that is financed by the banks
- Flexible repayment duration up to 30 years (or age 65)
- Up to 100% financing of RM200,000
- For ASB Islamic financing, there is no lock-in period.
- Extra monthly installments treated as advance payment, instead of principal reducing payment, therefore it does not reduce the total ASB loan interest charged.

Q: ASB loan vs unit trust (saham amanah) – which one better?
A: Let me explain why this is NOT an apple to apple comparison although ASB is actually unit trust. Firstly, ASB has never gone into negative return territory, like ever while any retail unit trust can swing to a loss.
However, ASB profit (return) is somehow ‘capped’ between 5% to 8% per year (high consistency, low risk with high ASB dividend returns and provides additional bonuses to the investors), while equity unit trust can give double-digit investment returns. Secondly, you start with zero capital and on top of that, uses leverage (banks lend money to you) when you use ASB financing to invest in Amanah Saham, so rightfully, ASB returns will be better & more consistent versus investing in a normal unit trust without borrowing any money as initial investment capital.
Q: ASB loan vs Public Mutual?
A: Refer to answer for – ‘Q: ASB loan vs unit trust – which one better?’

What about the RM30 discount code?
Ay, can i redeem or withdraw the money after asnb 150k approval???
What do you mean?
what does it mean by lock in period?
duration you can’t settle the loan
Just an example:
If I were to take the loan with a bank that is without lock in period, but maybe after 2 months I don’t feel I want to continue the loan, means I can take out the money from ASB and make settlement?
if you found a bank that offers ASB loan without lock in period, let us know 🙂
I found that Ambank & Bank Islam offers zero lock-in-period through direct query with the banks.
wow, nice! did you take it?
