GoFlexi Personal Loan well received by the market
Last month, WeLab Bank launched its first loan product, GoFlexi** a personal instalment loan at tenors from 6 months to 60 months. In addition, the Bank also offers a “GoFlexi-Link^^” promotion where customers can enjoy an Annualized Percentage Rate (“APR”) as low as 1.68% on loans and earn interest rebate at a matching rate that links with the customer’s WeLab Bank Core Account balance. GoFlexi-Link enables the general public to “borrow low, save high” and gain access to a high rate of interest rebate and financial flexibility at the same time.
GoFlexi loan applications amounting to HKD140 million were received within two weeks since its launch. 80% of all approved loans enjoy the lowest APR of 1.68%. Tat Lee believes that the beauty of GoFlexi and GoFlexi-Link lies in their flexibility. “Currently in the market, financial products integrating deposits and loans are generally available for property owners only. However, with GoFlexi and GoFlexi-Link, all customers can enjoy extra funds at low interest rate while earning high interest rebate for deposits. Many customers found the groundbreaking feature of GoFlexi-Link practical as it is game-changing in personal loan market which better serves their financial needs.”
GoSave Time Deposit increases interest rate to 1%
