Mortgage $aver
Standard Chartered Mortgage $aver is a home loan solution that interest earned from deposit offsets the outstanding balance of mortgage to help you pay off your mortgage earlier.
Example
Suppose you would like to borrow a loan amount of HK$4,000,000
| Mortgage loan amount | HK$4,000,000 |
| Mortgage loan tenor | 20 years |
| Mortgage loan interest rate | 3.25% p.a. |
| Initial deposit | HK$120,000 |
| Monthly savings | HK$1,500 |
MORTGAGE $AVER
| YOUR CURRENT CONVENTIONAL MORTGAGE PLAN
| |
|---|---|---|
| (a) Original mortgage loan interest expenses | HK$1,444,820 | HK$1,444,820 |
| (b) Deposit interest earned | HK$168,603 (Deposit annual interest rate equals your existing mortgage loan interest rate) | HK$60 (Based on HKD deposit interest rate of 0.001% p.a.) |
| (c) Mortgage interest expenses saved as a result of reducing the mortgage loan outstanding principal with deposit interest accrued from savings | HK$26,619 | NIL |
| Net interest expenses (a-b-c) | HK$1,249,598 (Save 14%) | HK$1,444,760 |
