Important Notes:
*Standardised Base Rate (SBR) is linked solely to the Overnight Policy Rate (OPR), as determined by the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) of Bank Negara Malaysia. When the OPR is revised, HLB/HLISB will adjust the SBR by the same amount as the change in the OPR. This applies to both upward and downward adjustments in the OPR.
