Latest
Not financial advice, and not a bank offer.
These notes are illustrative samples so the site shows a review trail. They are not bank news and they are not offers.
MortgageSample
In this sample, H+1.40% sits above the cap, so the payment uses capped H. P−2.25% on the same row is higher, so P is not in force.
LoansSample
The 1.50% handling fee comes off at drawdown. The flat headline does not include that fee.
CashSample
In the sample reviewed on 10 Oct, once the balance passes the promo cap the blended yield drops.
MortgageSample
The same row also has H+1.70%. Sample prime is lower, so the payment is currently using P.
LoansSample
On a sample HK$100,000 over 24 months the true APR is about 4.17%, above some rows with a fee and a lower flat rate.
CashSample
The three currencies are ranked apart. On a row with no cap, the headline rate is the rate on the whole balance.
