“You have to buy our MRTA to enjoy a lower rate.”
“It’s just a minimum of 5 years anyway, and not the full home loan amount. Super cheap.”

“You have to lock-in a fixed deposit with us for a lower rate.”

2) They have a monthly scorecard to fulfill. They’ll need to bundle the home loan with MRTA, credit card, savings account or fixed deposit to achieve the target. If they fail to meet the target for any category, their commission % will be greatly reduced.
