Are there perks and benefits I can get from an AmBank car loan?

It is worth mentioning that AmBank has a long-established relationship with over 3,000 panel dealers nationwide - from local to prestigious brands, you name it.

The best part about AmBank car loan is that you can instantly renew your road tax and insurance or Takaful at selected AmBank or AmBank Islamic On The Spot branches.

What is my monthly obligation?

Depending on the type of profit rate you chose, either fixed or variable rate, your instalment amount will consist of the principal amount and profit charges, payable every month until the end of the financing period.

If you are late on your repayment, you will incur a late payment fee of 2% p.a. for fixed-rate instalments, which is calculated on daily basis! Plus, AmBank has a legal right to repossess your vehicle when you have defaulted on payment for two consecutive months. 

Consequently, this will have a negative impact on your credit profile in the long run. So, the rule of thumb is to pay your instalment on or before the due date. If possible, make an early settlement at any time within the tenure because you'll get rebated.

Do I need insurance or Takaful coverage?
