OCBC Singapore announced recently their FDMR mortgage rates will increase in May 2018. We looked at their history. History of OCBC FDMROCBC defines 36M FDMR as the 36-month fixed deposit rate for OCBC Bank individual customers for amounts within S$5,000 to S$20,000 or such other sum as may be determined by them. During the launch of home loans pegged to this rate in Nov 2015, FDMR36 was at 0.65%. This rate was retired around Sept 2017. It is now at 0.65% unchanged. 15M FDMR replaced 36M FDMR. It was at 0.25%. The current rate is 0.55% with effect from May 2018. A similar rate, 48M FDMR increased from 0.95% to 1.25% this month too.
网上搜了一下FDMR的历史,找到了上面的这一段。FDMR说到底就是银行给定期存款的利率。请注意上面红字加粗的那句话,这个FDMR36已经退役了,也就是现在ocbc没有FDMR36了,我突然脑洞大开产生了一个顾虑,既然不再提供这个存款利率给存款的客户了,那完全可以把这个利率单方面升的很高,因为再高也不用付出利息,然后用这个高利率绑定的贷款去收割现有的贷款客户。
请教大神,这种可能存在吗?还是说retired在银行专业术语中有别的意思?
