Personal Financing-i and Term Deposit-i
Realising that many Malaysians struggle in managing their financial needs, while others would like to optimise their fund to reach a financial target, AEON Bank has developed two Personal Banking products for its customers – Personal Financing-i and Term Deposit-i.
Personal Financing-i (PF-i) can be a much needed support for those that wish to close the cash flow gap.
For example, a customer named Sofia will be receiving her bonus next month, but the deposit for her kitchen renovation needs to be paid within this week.
After careful consideration, she opted to apply for the PF-i, as it offers a collateral free, Shariah-complient financing facility of up to RM50,000, with flexible repayment tenure ranging between three to 48 months.
She is also keen on the fully online application process for PF-i which can be done via the AEON Bank mobile app, without the hassle of physical paperwork or going to a bank counter.
Meanwhile, for customers that would like to substantially grow their savings, Term Deposit-i (TD-i) makes it possible to earn profit on their deposits over a fixed term of various tenure options, with up to 3.08% profit rate p.a.
Staying on track with AEON Bank's Savings Pot
Budget-minded customers know that they should be putting money aside for emergencies and future financial aspirations.
It could also be intended for their dream home and year end vacation. AEON Bank's Savings Pot makes it easy to stay on track, while earning rewarding profits.
Customers just need to create a Savings Pot, then transfer any amount from their Savings Account-i to the Savings Pot and easily earn 3.00% p.a. profit rate, with the flexibility to deposit more or withdraw the fund anytime via the app itself.
If you are curious about how digital banking can be experienced differently, this anniversary month is the time to optimise on what AEON Bank has to offer.
