From: | To: |
Maybank Balance Transfer allows you to transfer outstanding credit card balances from other banks to your Maybank credit card, often with a promotional 0% interest period. A one-time transfer fee (typically 3%) applies.
The calculator uses two formulas:
Where:
Explanation: The calculation first determines how much can be paid during the 0% period, then calculates the remaining time needed after the promotional period ends.
Details: The total amount (balance + fee) is first paid down during the 0% period. Any remaining balance after this period accrues interest at your card's standard APR.
Tips: Enter your transferred balance, transfer fee percentage (typically 3%), your planned monthly payment, your card's APR, and the length of the 0% promotional period.
