| Step | What happens |
|---|---|
| 1 · Place deposit | Minimum RM50,000. Principal is fully protected if held to maturity. |
| 2 · Daily check | Each business day, if 3M KLIBOR is between 0% and 4.00%, that day accrues the 4.60% coupon. |

Eleven years of 3M KLIBOR data versus the 4.00% barrier — 942 trading days from June 2015 to March 2026.
| Threshold | Days Above | % of Time | Assessment |
|---|---|---|---|
| > 3.50% | 425 | 45% | Common — within normal range |
| > 3.70% | 56 | 6% | Occasional |
| > 3.80% | 16 | 2% | Rare |
| > 3.90% | 0 | 0% | Never |
| ≥ 4.00% (barrier) | 0 | 0% | Never breached |
All-time high: 3.90% — still ten basis points below the barrier. Source: klibo.db, 942 data points, June 2015 to March 2026.
| Interest-rate risk | If Bank Negara raises the OPR significantly, 3M KLIBOR could approach or breach 4.00%. Each 25bps OPR hike has historically pushed KLIBOR up roughly 20–30bps. |
| Liquidity risk | Six-year lock-in. No guaranteed early exit — you may need to wait until maturity or a call date. |
| Call risk | If rates fall, the bank may call the product early. Principal is returned, but future high-coupon payments are lost. |
| Opportunity cost | Locked for six years. If FD rates rise above 4.60%, you cannot switch. |
| Credit risk | Principal protection depends on the issuing bank's solvency. Not covered by PIDM. |
