OVERDRAFT :. Print Print this document

An overdraft facility is the most flexible loan offered by the banks. There is no fixed monthly repayments. You may repay prepay and redraw on the account from time to time so long as the outstanding balance is within the principal limit of the overdraft facility.

However interest rates are higher and there is a commitment fee chargeable on the unutilized amount of the overdraft (where the overdraft exceed RM250,000.00). If you do not discipline yourself to repay down the overdraft, you will find that you still owe your bank the full amount of the overdraft after 10 years.
