Risk Disclosure

- Customers may be exposed to significant interest rate risk as the interest rate of the facility is not fixed (i.e. floating rate subject to changes from time to time). ICBC (Asia) has discretion to adjust the interest rate of the facility from time to time. Any increase in interest rates applicable to the facility will increase the interest cost of servicing the loan facility. Customers may not be able to make repayment(s) and may hence default when there is a substantial increase in the interest rate.

- Customers should be able to assume the risks and bear the potential losses of leveraged investments. The use of leverage in investments means that relatively small price movements will have a multiplying effect on borrower’s corresponding gains or losses, and the degree of investment risk borrower face is greatly increased. Thus, the risk of loss in leveraged trading can be substantial.

- Exchange rate exposure arises when the facility currency differs from the collaterals currency which may affect the facility and collateral value. The currency of the collateral shall be converted into the currency of the outstanding amount(s) under the facility at the Bank’s prevailing spot buying rate (which is conclusively determined by the Bank at its sole and absolute discretion) before Customers settle any outstanding loan amount(s).

- For details of risk disclosure, please refer to the loan application including charges, important information and terms and conditions.
