Important Information for Home Loans
- The Board Rate (BR) quoted is applicable only for the loan package that you are interested in (eg. HDB flat financing at fixed rate).
- The financial indicator(s) against which that BR is benchmarked, such as the SIBOR, Prime Rate or CPF rate, will also be disclosed.
- The BR offered for your loan package may be different from BRs offered to other customers for different loan packages.
- The BR can be changed by the bank anytime, by giving 30 days' notice, depending on market conditions and/or changes in the financial indicator(s) against which the BR is benchmarked. This 30-day notice requirement does not apply to home loans benchmarked against market indices.
- The loan repayment schedule for the loan package that you have chosen is available in either hard copy (on request) or soft copy in the form of a home loan calculator on the bank's website.
- The Association of Banks in Singapore's (ABS) Consumer Guide on Home Loans is available and you are encouraged to get a copy from the bank and read it before committing to a loan. This guide is also available on the MoneySENSE and ABS websites in four official languages.
