The monthly flat rate is used to calculate the total interest amount for your loan as follows:

Total interest amount = Loan amount x Monthly flat rate x Repayment period.

The Annual Percentage Rate (APR) is a reference rate which includes all applicable interest rates, fees, and charges pertaining to a loan product, expressed as an annualised rate. It is calculated using a method specified in relevant guidelines set out by The Hong Kong Association of Banks, and is rounded up or down to the nearest two decimal places. This rate will vary based on different factors such as loan amount and repayment period, you can view relevant information on the Flexi Loan "Personal Loan" Calculator, Accept Offer, and Instalment Details page.

The "Rule of 78" is a general method used by banks and financial institutions to allocate the total interest amount of the loan across the repayment period, based on the sum of the months as digits. Under this rule, interest payments will decrease with every instalment until the end of the repayment period. Using a 12-month repayment period as an example, interest payments will be allocated based on the sum of (12 + 11 + 10 +… +3 + 2 + 1 ) = 78. The first interest payment will be calculated as 12 / 78 of the total interest amount, followed by the second interest payment of 11 / 78 of the total interest amount and so on, until the 12th interest payment, which will be equal to 1 / 78 of the total interest amount.

Interest rate varies based on applicants’ financial status, credit rating, and facility amount.

The facility arrangement fee of livi Business Instalment Loan is 0.5% of facility limit with a minimum of HK$1,000.
 
The requirements of documents vary depending on the loan amount. Please contact us for details.
The approval time will depend on the multiple factors, such as the applicant's financial status, credit rating, loan amount and loan tenor. 

Single upfront guarantee fee will be debited when the loan drawdown to your account, and will be paid to The Hong Kong Mortgage Corporation Limited by the Bank in accordance with prescribed procedures. You can obtain a rough indication of the guarantee fee amount by making use of the Guarantee Fee Calculator in the HKMCI official website (www.hkmc.com.hk). The final Guarantee Fee charged will be subject to the Guarantee provided by HKMCI.

You only need to reserve enough funds in your livi Business account, and we will automatically deduct the repayment amount from your livi Business account on the repayment date.
For each instalment, we will add up all your repayable amounts of this loan as the repayment amount you need to pay on the repayment date. 

We will set the monthly repayment date according to your first withdrawal date. If the month does not have the same date, the repayment date is the last day of the month. If the repayment date falls on a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday, we will also automatically debit your livi Business account on that day.

If you want to early settle the loan, please notify livi 7 calendar days in advance. However, early repayment requires full repayment and 5% of the early repayment amount is paid as an early repayment fee. 
If any repayments are not repaid in full on the repayment date, default interest will be charged. Such default interest rate will accrue daily on a 365-day year basis (or 366-day basis in a leap year) until the date of actual repayment. A minimum default interest of HK$100 will be charged. In addition, each overdue will incur an overdue fee of HK $300.

The monthly flat rate is used to calculate the total interest amount for your instant cash loan as follows:

Total interest amount = Loan amount x Monthly flat rate x Repayment period.
 

The "Rule of 78" is a general method used by banks and financial institutions to allocate the total interest amount of the loan across the repayment period, based on the sum of the months as digits. Under this rule, interest payments will decrease with every instalment until the end of the repayment period. Using a 12-month repayment period as an example, interest payments will be allocated based on the sum of (12 + 11 + 10 +… +3 + 2 + 1 ) = 78. The first interest payment will be calculated as 12 / 78 of the total interest amount, followed by the second interest payment of 11 / 78 of the total interest amount and so on, until the 12th interest payment, which will be equal to 1 / 78 of the total interest amount.
Each statement will show the amount you need to repay on the due date. You can make repayments in your livi app, or leave sufficient funds in your liviSave for automatic repayment on the due date. 
The repayment date is the 10th of each month. If it falls on a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday, we will still automatically deduct the amount from your liviSave account on the same day.
 
You can early repay your outstanding loan amount in full for both spending instalment and/or cash loan instalment. However, you cannot choose to repay part of the loan. Early repayment means repaying the outstanding loan principal and any interest payable in full. Early settlement is also subject to 3% handling fee on the repaid principal amount. (Note: Early settlement handling fee is waived within the promotional period until further notice.) 
For cash instalment loan, the proportion of interest and principal in each monthly repayment is calculated according to the Rule of 78. Please refer to the Key Facts Statement and Fees & Charges for details.
If you cannot settle your repayment amount in full on the due date, a late repayment fee and a default interest will be charged. Default interest is accrued on a daily basis starting from the due date of the relevant payment, calculated based on the unpaid principal amount. If your repayment is overdue for 10 days while your outstanding principal is HKD10,000, the default interest will be HKD98.63 and the late repayment fee will be HKD300. (Note: The late payment fee is a monthly blanket fee of HKD300 or the instalment payment due and payable, whichever is lower. livi may adjust the fee from time to time.)

Once we receive your transaction dispute application, we will assist you by raising chargeback request against the merchant acquirers on your behalf.

Upon receiving all relevant documents, the processing time of the dispute generally takes approximately 60 to 90 days, depending on the complexity of the dispute. We may contact you to obtain additional documents or follow up, if required. 

If it is successful, the refunded amount will be credited into your livi account. We reserve the right to charge a handling fee of HKD 50 per transaction if the dispute is found invalid after the investigation. 

Chargeback is a protection mechanism that card associations provide to their customers. Generally speaking, where customers use cards to make lump-sum payments upfront, and have disputes over the transactions later on, customers can request card-issuing banks to assist in applying for refunds of the payments.  Examples of disputes include the merchant closes down, and goods purchased do not match the description. The request has to be submitted within 60 calendar days of the statement issue date. 

Customers need to provide information like transaction receipts and agreements; and the chargeback requests are subject to the rules of the respective card associations, including the chargeback time limits within which consumers must file the requests. 

livi Flexi Loan “Personal Loan” is a personal loan product with a loan amount of up to HKD1,000,000 and a repayment period of up to 60 months. You only need to apply once, and you can reborrow from your repaid principal without additional applications or approvals.

livi Flexi Loan has been renamed as livi Flexi Loan “Personal Loan”. Please be assured that all its interest rates, fees and charges, terms and conditions, and other benefits and promotions that you currently enjoy remain unchanged.
You need to be a Hong Kong resident with a liviSave account. You can apply as long as you have proof of income. If you are new to livi, a liviSave account will be created for you for loan disbursements and monthly repayments.
You have between 3 months and 60 months to repay. You can choose a repayment period of 3, 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 48 or 60 months.
For loan approval purposes, we will check your credit report provided by a credit reference agency.
Funds will be instantly deposited into your liviSave account when your loan is confirmed and accepted.
You can "transfer" your funds into a designated beneficiary account via the livi app. As a reminder, the maximum daily transfer limit is equivalent to HKD500,000. If you need to withdraw more than HKD500,000, please arrange another transfer.

The monthly flat rate is used to calculate the total interest amount for your loan as follows:

Total interest amount = Loan amount x Monthly flat rate x Repayment period.

The Annual Percentage Rate (APR) is a reference rate which includes all applicable interest rates, fees, and charges pertaining to a loan product, expressed as an annualised rate. It is calculated using a method specified in relevant guidelines set out by The Hong Kong Association of Banks, and is rounded up or down to the nearest two decimal places. This rate will vary based on different factors such as loan amount and repayment period, you can view relevant information on the Flexi Loan "Personal Loan" Calculator, Accept Offer, and Instalment Details page.

The "Rule of 78" is a general method used by banks and financial institutions to allocate the total interest amount of the loan across the repayment period, based on the sum of the months as digits. Under this rule, interest payments will decrease with every instalment until the end of the repayment period. Using a 12-month repayment period as an example, interest payments will be allocated based on the sum of (12 + 11 + 10 +… +3 + 2 + 1 ) = 78. The first interest payment will be calculated as 12 / 78 of the total interest amount, followed by the second interest payment of 11 / 78 of the total interest amount and so on, until the 12th interest payment, which will be equal to 1 / 78 of the total interest amount.

You can view repayment amount and repayment date in Flexi Loan "Personal Loan" card. You only need to ensure enough funds are available in your liviSave account for every repayment.
We will automatically deduct all repayment amounts from your liviSave account on repayment day. Also, we will set your monthly repayment day based on your first drawdown date. For months without the same number of days, repayment day will fall on the last day of the month. If it falls on a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday, we will still automatically deduct the amount from your liviSave account on the same day.

If you cannot settle your repayment amount in full on due date, late repayment fees and default interest will be charged. Default interest is accrued on a daily basis starting from the due date of the relevant payment, calculated based on the unpaid principal amount. If customer is overdue for 10 days while outstanding principal is HKD10,000, default interest is HKD98.63 and late repayment fee is HKD300.00.
If you are unable to repay your loan obligations for any reason, please contact liviCare at (852) 2929 2998 for further assistance.

You can early repay your outstanding loan amount in full and we will not charge any handling fee. However, you cannot choose to repay part of the loan. Early repayment means repaying the outstanding loan principal and any interest payable in full.

 

Yes, you can top-up a new loan by withdrawing from the instant top-up amount as long as your first instalment loan has been repaid for three months or early repaid in full. The repayment day of the new instalment loan will be the same as your original repayment day. If the difference between the day you applied for the new instalment loan and its repayment day is less than or equal to 20 days, the first repayment day of the new instalment loan will be postponed by one instalment (one month).
Once your loan has been repaid in full, you can contact liviCare at (852) 2929 2998 to apply for the termination of your loan account.

Policy Replacement occurs when you use or intend to use a portion or all of the policy value of your existing insurance policy to fund a new insurance policy, or that you intend to decrease premium contrition of your existing policy to fund the premium of the new insurance policy.

 

Life insurance differs from general insurance as life insurance involves a substantially longer coverage period. If the insured surrenders their life insurance policy in the first few years after the commencement of the policy, the surrender value received is usually less than the total premium paid.

 

When considering policy replacement, the insured should pay attention that the new insurance company may re-assess underwriting criteria such as the applicant's health condition, occupation, leisure activities, etc. Moreover, the provisions of the new policy may be different from those of the existing policy, which could affect results of future claims. The insured should compare the provisions of the existing policy with those of the new one thoroughly, and evaluate if policy replacement is in their best interest.
