Low Mortgage Rate High Deposit Rate
Alleviating the burden of mortgage, and earning higher interest returns on your deposits are most people’s dream. Wise Mortgage can help you achieve this goal. No matter acquiring a new home, upgrading your apartment or re-mortgage, Wise Mortgage can provide competitive mortgage rate1 in town, as well as preferential deposit rate3 that is equivalent to the mortgage rate when you deposit into your Hong Kong Dollar Repayment Account2 during the repayment period. Such preferential rate is higher than the regular time deposit interest rate; yet without any withdrawal or deposit constraint, the arrangement of funds can thus be more flexible.
Privileges of Wise Mortgage
Preferential deposit rate
- Equal to mortgage rate and provides a steady and favourable return on deposit.
- In the first year of repayment, the maximum amount of deposits bearing a preferential interest rate is up to 60% of the total outstanding balance of the mortgage loan4.
- Preferential interest will be accrued on a daily basis.
Interest will be earned for remaining deposit in excess of the maximum amount
- The remaining deposit in excess of the maximum amount can enjoy an interest rate based on the tiered interest rate of the Hong Kong Dollar Savings Accounts quoted by our Bank5.
Flexible arrangement of funds
- You can conveniently deposit into or withdraw from your designated Hong Kong Dollar Repayment Account to match your financial needs.
Flexible repayment options
- Apart from monthly repayment period, you can also choose bi-weekly repayment option to save interest expense.
