Grasp the opportunity to enjoy lower mortgage interest rate

By using the Hong Kong Interbank Offered Rate (HIBOR) as the basis of mortgage interest rate, the HIBOR Mortgage Plan provided by Bank of China (Hong Kong) gives you an opportunity to enjoy lower mortgage interest rate than other general mortgage plans based on the Hong Kong Dollar Prime Lending Rate (Prime). Comparatively speaking, the HIBOR Mortgage Plan follows more closely the market movement in interest rate.

  • Mortgage interest rate based on market interest rate
  • Capped mortgage interest rate
  • Different HIBOR periods
  • Other features
  • Exclusive privileges
  • Simple application step

 

Mortgage Interest Rate Based on Market Interest Rate

  • Mortgage interest rate is based on Hong Kong Interbank Offered Rate ("HIBOR")
  • Upon renewal, a new interest rate will be determined based on the prevailing HIBOR for the next interest period

Capped Mortgage Interest Rate

  • For your better financial plan, upon renewal, the mortgage interest rate for the coming interest period will be based on the capped interest rate or the applicable HIBOR, whichever is lower.

Different HIBOR Periods

  • Interest periods of 1, 3, 6 or 12 months at HIBOR base are available upon mortgage loan application
  • If you anticipate that the interest rate will move upward, you can choose a longer interest period. This can help avoid the impact brought about by increasing interest rates during your selected interest period. If you anticipate otherwise, you may choose a shorter interest period and take advantage of the possible lower interest rates for the time ahead.

Other Features

  • You may switch to the mortgage plan based on Prime throughout the repayment period1
  • Loan amount may be up to 90%2 of the appraised value or the purchase price of the property (whichever is lower)3
  • Repayment tenor may be up to 30 years
