In a statement today, OCBC Malaysia said all loans and financing rates based on BR, BLR and BFR will correspondingly decrease by the same rate.

“Similarly, all conventional fixed deposit and Islamic time deposit board rates will also decrease by 0.25% on the same day. With this, OCBC Malaysia’s BR will decrease from 3.83% to 3.58%, and BLR/BFR from 6.76% to 6.51%,” it said.
