No tangible collateral is required while personal guarantee is needed.

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 theapplicant's financial status, credit rating, loan amount and loan tenor. 
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.

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

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 HKD 1,000,000 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 HKD 500,000. If you need to withdraw more than HKD 500,000, 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 HKD 98.63 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.
