How It Works
Skim Saraan Bercagar (SSB) is a Skim Saraan Bercagar Loan. It allows retired home owners to convert a residential property asset into a fixed source of monthly income throughout their retirement years. Home ownership is retained, allowing them to stay in their home throughout the tenure of the loan.
Loan Repayment
When

During Home Owner’s Lifetime
No repayment is required during the borrower’s or joint borrowers’ lifetime unless the loan is terminated under specific circumstances.
