Tell me about the profit rate.
According to MBSB Bank, the profit rate of MBSB Mumtaz-i is a variable rate and is calculated on a monthly rest basis. The standard profit rate you’ll be able to get will be equivalent to a 2.98% p.a. flat rate, with an Effective Profit Rate of 5.65% p.a. at 3 years tenure. Meanwhile, for refinancing purposes, the Effective Profit Rate is at 5.55% p.a. (equivalent to a 2.93% p.a. flat rate at 3 years tenure).
And if you wish to extend your financing tenure between 4 to 10 years, you’ll enjoy a 3.38% p.a. flat rate with an Effective Profit Rate of 6.10% p.a.
See the table below for better clarity.
| 3 Years Tenure | 4 - 10 Years Tenure | ||||
| Standard Profit Rate | Refinancing | Standard Profit Rate | |||
| Effective Rate | Flat Rate | Effective Rate | Flat Rate | Effective Rate | Flat Rate |
| 5.65% p.a. | 2.98% p.a. | 5.55% p.a. | 2.93% p.a. | 6.10% p.a. | 3.38% p.a. |
The current SBR of MBSB Bank is at 2.75% p.a. as of writing, while the Ceiling Profit Rate is at 15% p.a. Since the profit rate is a variable rate, it may change from time to time based on the reference rate such as the SBR.
If the SBR changes — which is influenced by the OPR set by BNM — there’s a chance that your profit rate will change and thus influence your monthly instalments. However, the increase in the profit rate is capped at the Ceiling Profit Rate as mentioned earlier.
Additionally, rest assured that if there’s any change regarding your loan, MBSB Bank will inform you by giving at least 7 days prior written notice or via electronic means.

Am I qualified to apply for MBSB personal financing if I’m blacklisted?
Depending on your credit history with other financial institutions because all this information (outstanding credit card, personal loan, home loan or car loan debts) will be captured in CCRIS / CTOS (a system that collects credit information on borrowers, not blacklisting them).
Assuming you have poor credit standing due to irregular payments, the best course of action would be to break the habit and start making your payments on time to avoid future hurdles.
MBSB Bank is more likely to approve your personal loan application if you can show that you are managing your personal finances, rather than accumulating more debt.
