Loan term

Interest rate types

You can choose from the following two types.

  • Variable interest rate:Linked to the short-term prime rate. Reviewed twice a year on April 1 and October 1. For the first 5 years after borrowing, the repayment amount remains fixed (adjusted by the principal-interest ratio)
