PRODUCT DISCLOSURE SHEET FOR AUTO BALANCE CONVERSION

Kindly read this Product Disclosure Sheet before you decide to take up any Alliance Bank Malaysia
Berhad (“Alliance Bank”) Credit Card. Please be sure to also read the general Terms and Conditions.

1. What is this product about?


 Subject to you being eligible, Alliance Bank Auto Balance Conversion Programme (“Auto
Balance Conversion”) automatically converts the outstanding balances on your credit card to
a term loan repayable by monthly instalments.
 You will be eligible if you earn not more than RM60,000 per annum and if you are a consistent
revolver over the past 12 months (i.e. you have not made any full payment of your credit card
bill over the past 12 months) and over the past 12 months your average repayment is not
more than 10% of your outstanding balances.
 The outstanding balances that are eligible for conversion are your outstanding statement
balances (excluding monies due under other any Alliance Bank instalment and this amount
must be at least Ringgit Malaysia One Thousand (RM1, 000).
 If you are a first-time participant in the Auto Balance Conversion exercise, you have a thirty
(30) days cooling-off period to contact us to cancel it after implementation of the conversion
and upon cancellation. The converted amount will be reversed back into your credit card
account and the usual applicable finance charges will be chargeable.
 Once you have been enrolled into and already participating in the Auto Balance Conversion,
we will assess your eligibility for further automatic enrollment 12 months after we last
assessed you. If upon re-assessment you are determined to be eligible we will automatically
enrol you into the Auto Balance Conversion in respect of your eligible new outstanding
balances.

You may however opt out from Auto Balance Conversion by informing us at 03-55169988.

2. What do I get from this product?


You will enjoy lower interest rates once the outstanding balances on your Alliance Bank credit
card are converted into affordable monthly repayment instalments. The interest rate charged for
this product is as follows:

Effective Interest Rate (%) 13% per annum


Tenure 36 months

3. What are my obligations?


Your monthly instalment payment amount (“Conversion Monthly Payment”) under the Auto
Balance Conversion is calculated based on the method illustrated in the example below. Each
Conversion Monthly Payment will be billed to your Credit Card account and you will have to make
the Conversion Monthly Payment in full by the payment due date of each month.

The illustration below shows how the principal and the interest attributable to Conversion Monthly
Payment are arrived at:

1
Conversion Amount RM15,000
Conversion Tenure 36 months
Conversion Charges (Effective Interest Rate) 13% per annum
Conversion Monthly Payment RM505.42*
Total Interest RM3,195
Total Principal & Interest RM18,195
*Note: The Conversion Monthly Payment for the first month may vary due to rounding of the
interest/principal amount

The Conversion Monthly Payment amount is fixed. Any pre-payment or excess payment will not
reduce the outstanding principal amount or the subsequent Conversion Monthly Payment and will
only be treated by Alliance Bank as an advance payment.

4. What are the fees and charges I have to pay?


We will not charge any processing fee if we implement the Auto Balance Conversion on your
account. No early settlement fee will be imposed if you pay the outstanding amounts due to us
before maturity.

5. What if I fail to fulfill my obligations?


 Finance Charges:
- Alliance Bank shall impose finance charges of 18% per annum on any unpaid monies due
and remaining unpaid to Alliance Bank after its relevant due date calculated on a daily
balance basis and capitalized on each payment due date. Such finance charges accrued
shall be payable in full by the following payment due date stated in the credit card
statement.
 Late Payment Charges:
- If the Conversion Monthly Payment is not repaid in full by the payment due date stated in
the credit card statement of each month, a late payment charge of 1% on the outstanding
balance of the Conversion Monthly Payment (subject to a minimum of RM10.00 and
maximum of RM100.00) will also be charged after the due date and such late payment
charge shall be payable in full on the following due date.
 Right to set-off:
- We have the right to set-off any credit balance in any one or more of your accounts
maintained with us against any or all outstanding balances in respect of your Card.
 Event of Default:
- If you fail to pay your Conversion Monthly Payments for 3 consecutive months, Alliance
Bank shall be entitled at its discretion at any time to terminate the Auto Balance
Conversion made available to you, whereupon all monies comprising of the total principal
of the amount converted which remains outstanding together with the applicable finance
charges, accrued interest charges, late payment charges and the balance of all other
monies due and owing under your credit card account will be due and payable
immediately, and we will be entitled to demand for the full amount from you.

6. What if I fully settle the balance before its maturity?


There are no lock-in periods or early settlement fees for Auto Balance Conversion. You may
perform an early settlement of the total outstanding amount before the expiry of the tenure of the
relevant term loan, by calling our Contact Centre and providing us with at least thirty (30) days
prior notice. For early settlement, you are required to pay Alliance Bank the total outstanding
balance owing (inclusive of monthly instalments due i.e. the total principal amount, interest
charges, late charges and finance charges)

7. What are the major risks?
The Conversion Monthly Payment must be paid in full on or before the payment due date stated
in the credit card statement and forms part of your minimum payment due. Think about your
repayment capacity when charging the credit card. The finance charges will be imposed on any
unpaid monies due and remaining unpaid under the Auto Balance Conversion by each payment
due date stated in the credit card statement. If you have any problems paying for any monies due
under the Auto Balance Conversion by the payment due date stated in credit card statement, you
may contact us in advance to discuss repayment alternatives.
