Take advantage of high yield deposits while buying your home
How can you get a higher interest rate on your savings while buying your home? With our "Chiyu Deposit-Linked Mortgage Scheme", you are entitled to an extra deposit account with preferential interest rate, enabling you to enjoy steady wealth growth.
Upon your successful application for our "Chiyu Deposit-Linked Mortgage Scheme", you are eligible to open an extra deposit account (referred to as "the account" hereafter), combining the features of both savings and current accounts with a preferential interest rate.
Your mortgage account and Designated Current Account will share the same interest rate. Interest is calculated based on your daily balance, enabling you to earn more interest income than that generated from a general HKD savings account or from fixed deposits.
To meet your financial or investment needs, you can withdraw cash from the account via ATMs or by cheques anytime you like.
