Terms and Conditions:
(1) For details about the SpGS and SGS, please visit the website of the Trade and Industry Department.
Terms and Conditions for SpGS:
(2) According to the HKSAR Government, eligible enterprises generally refer to enterprises with substantive business in Hong Kong and registered in Hong Kong under the Business Registration Ordinance (Chapter 310), except listed companies, lending institutions and their associates and such enterprise must have been in operation for at least one year on the date of implementation of the SpGS. Please refer to the eligibility criteria and other requirements set out in the SGS’s application form and related documents for the exact requirements which shall be the binding requirements.
(3) The maximum loan amount for each eligible enterprise is HKD12,000,000, within which up to HKD6,000,000 can be for the Revolving Limit. The final approved loan amount and/or limit is subject to the result of the individual customer’s credit assessment by Hang Seng Bank Limited (the “Bank”). The Bank reserves the right of final loan approval. The loan amount/limit and other terms and conditions of the loan(s)/facility(ies) are subject to the terms and conditions as set out in the relevant loan documents to be signed by the customer. In case of any disputes, the decision of the Bank shall be final.
(4) Customer can pay interest only but not make any principal repayment within the Principal Repayment Holiday. After the Principal Repayment Holiday, customer shall repay the entire principal and pay interest during the rest of the repayment period. It should be noted that the total amount of interest to be paid on an Instalment Loan with Principal Repayment Holiday is actually larger than that under an Instalment Loan without the Principal Repayment Holiday of the same loan tenor.
(5) The approved Overdraft Facility limit will be reduced proportionally per month across the utilization period until the end of the utilization period. Let’s take an example of an Overdraft Facility of HK$300,000 with 30-month utilization period, the limit will be reduced by HK$10,000 per month, i.e. the limit will be HK$29,000 in the second month and HK$10,000 in the last month respectively. Any excess amount utilized over that month’s overdraft limit will be treated as unauthorized overdraft and will be charged an unauthorized overdraft interest at the rate of 3%p.a. over the rate for authorized overdraft interest (minimum P+8%p.a.)
(6) P refers to the Hong Kong Dollar Prime Lending rate as quoted by the Bank from time to time. The interest rate will be subject to fluctuation. Please click here for the HKD Prime Rate.
(7) (Applicable to Instalment Loan only) If the customer has no unsatisfactory repayment records in the opinion of the Bank during the repayment period (i.e. during the first 12 months, first 24 months, first 36 months, first 48 months and 60 months) after first loan drawdown, the customer can receive a rebate of the interest portion of the repayment amount falling due at the 12th, 24th, 36th, 48th, and 60th month after first loan drawdown respectively within 3 months after each repayment period concerned. That means if the customer has unsatisfactory repayment record in the opinion of the Bank during the repayment period, the customer will not be entitled for any interest rebate in the remaining repayment period. The rebate amount will be credited to the customer’s loan disbursement account. This promotion offer is not applicable to customers with loan interest charged at HIBOR basis.
(8) For the Instalment Loan, the Bank will charge a handling fee which is equivalent to 1% of the approved loan amount. For Overdraft Facility and/or Trade Facility, the Bank will charge an annual fee which is equivalent to 1% of the approved limit to be paid annually in advance and utilization period of less than one year will be treated as one year for the purpose of the levy of this annual fee. No matter the customer can enjoy the above 50% discount offer or not, the handling fee and/or annual fee charged by the Bank shall not be less than HK$3,000 in total per year.
(9) Applicable for loan/ limit approved on or before 31 Dec 2009. Customers are eligible for HK$100 Supermarket Cash Coupon ("Coupon") for every HK$1,000,000 loan draw down/ limit grant, subject to a maximum of HK$2,400 for each eligible customer.
