Foreign Exchange Risk
Dual Currency Investment is not an ordinary time deposit or foreign currency deposit but an investment product embedded with a currency option. The Bank has the right to repay the investor at maturity date either in the base currency or in a specified alternate currency at a conversion rate agreed at the time the Dual Currency Investment was made. The Dual Currency Investment is an investment product described as “principal-at-risk”. The actual return of the investment may be negative in the event the base currency is paid in the alternate currency.
Early withdrawal/early termination
As provided in the Terms and Conditions of the Dual Currency Investment, an early withdrawal or early termination of the Dual Currency Investment may also result in a lower rate of return for the investor or a loss of the initial base principal amount invested/deposited. The Bank may, in its sole discretion, deduct additional costs, losses or expenses incurred in relation to such early withdrawal or early termination (including without limitation, any break cost, administrative cost, cost of unwinding any hedge being put in place, cost of funding or loss of bargain).
Cancellation of investment
In the event the investor requests to cancel the Dual Currency Investment before the investment amount has been debited from the investor’s account or fails or neglects to place the investment amount on trade date, the Bank shall have the right to cancel the Dual Currency Investment and charge all costs and expenses incurred arising from the aforementioned failure or neglect (the “Cancellation Cost”). The calculation by the Bank of any Cancellation Cost shall be conclusive and binding on the investor save on manifest error. The investor hereby agrees and authorises Maybank to debit their account for any Cancellation Cost, after which the instruction for the Dual Currency Investment will be deemed terminated with immediate effect.
Non-principal protection
Dual Currency Investment does not have principal protection and the principal amount of the investment is NOT guaranteed.
Non-insured deposit
A Dual Currency Investment is not an insured deposit for the purposes of the Deposit Insurance and Policy Owners’ Protection Schemes Act 2011 (Act 15 of 2011 ).
Warning: By purchasing the Dual Currency Investment, you are giving the issuer of this product the right to repay you at a future date in an alternate currency that is different from the currency in which your initial investment was made, regardless of whether you wish to be repaid in this currency at that time.
