VIVAnews – The loan interest rate that Bank Mega offers, which is currently between 16 and 17 percent, is still deemed high. Therefore, the bank has already scheduled a meeting this month to discuss a plan of loan interest rate cut.
“We are planning to cut [the loan interest rate] by one percent,“ Kostaman Thayib, Retail Director of PT Bank Mega Tbk, told VIVAnews yesterday, March 12.
According to him, Bank Mega has gradually cut its loan interest rate. However, he acknowledged that there has not been any overall adjustment of its loan interest rate since early this year. “We have cut our fixed deposit rate by one percent, but it may take a month for customers to feel the benefit [of this policy],” he said.
The bank’s average deposit rate remains at 11 percent against 13 percent at the end of 2008, while its counter rate stays at around six to seven percent.
According to Thayib, Bank Mega currently possesses a considerable amount of liquidity, which is around 12 percent, deposited in the form of state bonds (SUN) and Bank Indonesian certificate (SBI) that could be withdrawn almost at any time.
