The Bank of East Asia, Limited announces the launch of its new “Green Mortgage x Deposit Plan”. As part of the Bank’s efforts to further promote green living and support green financing in Hong Kong, green mortgage customers can now earn a preferential interest rate on online time deposits.
Ms. Shirley Wong, General Manager and Head of Personal Banking Division at BEA, said, “BEA supports sustainable development in Hong Kong, and our retail banking operations are actively exploring new green business opportunities. Since the launch of our ‘Green Mortgage Plan’ last year, over 20% of mortgage customers have chosen this product. In view of this, we are offering a preferential time deposit rate so that our customers can earn a preferential interest rate on online time deposits.”
The “Green Mortgage Plan” is offered to prospective purchasers of first-hand, secondhand, or government-subsidized residences that have a valid provisional/final “Platinum” or “Gold” rating under the BEAM Plus New Buildings/Existing Buildings scheme of the Hong Kong Green Building Council. During the promotional period, green mortgage customers can receive an extra cash rebate of up to HK$16,888.
