OCBC Al-Amin Manarat-i Home Financing

OCBC Al-Amin Bank Berhad (200801017151), incorporated 2008, is OCBC's separate Malaysian Islamic bank. Its flagship consumer product is the 360 Account-i, a behaviour-based savings account: a 0.10% base effective rate on the whole balance, rising through 1.10% (deposit RM500+/month), 2.05% (also pay three bills online) to 3.00% p.a. (also spend RM500 on the debit card-i), with bonus profit capped at RM100,000 average daily balance and paid by the 14th business day of the following month. The mechanics, caps and dates are all published with a calculator. For a household routing salary through the account, this is the highest PIDM-protected everyday yield in the cluster. Crawled 6 Aug 2026.

Manarat-i, the home financing product, is a Commodity Murabahah (Tawarruq) facility with tenure to 35 years or age 70 and daily-rest calculation. Its defining feature is the refinance incentive: 100% stamp duty waived on principal refinanced from a conventional term loan, alongside no early-settlement penalty, no compounding and no processing fees. For Malaysians wanting to move an existing riba-based mortgage into Islamic financing, this directly attacks the main switching cost. Non-residents are eligible subject to country of origin.

The Fixed Deposit-i grid (1.85%-2.10%, effective 1 January 2026) is published on the Islamic rates page. Governance disclosure is solid: committee chairman Dr. Khairul Anuar Ahmad and five members are profiled, including scholars with prior roles at Affin Islamic, Deutsche Bank and academia.
