Once we receive your transaction dispute application, we will assist you by raising chargeback request against the merchant acquirers on your behalf. If the merchant acquirers or merchant accept a chargeback request and issue a refund for the transaction, we will return the money to you accordingly.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Total interest amount = Loan amount x Monthly flat rate x Repayment period.
We will automatically deduct all repayment amounts from your liviSave account on each 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 notice any suspicious or unauthorised transaction(s), please contact us at (852) 2929 2998 immediately. To raise any chargeback request, please apply on or before 31 December 2024.

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.
