Frequently Asked Questions

• Q: What is the general provident fund loan interest rate? A: Provident fund loan interest rates are uniformly stipulated by the People's Bank of China and may be adjusted according to national policies. Currently, interest rates for loans under five years (inclusive) and over five years are usually different. It is recommended that you refer to the latest announced rates from your local provident fund management center or lending bank.
• Q: What is the difference between equal principal and interest and equal principal repayment methods? A: Equal principal and interest means that the monthly repayment amount is fixed, with a higher proportion of interest in the early stages and a higher proportion of principal in the later stages, resulting in relatively higher total interest expense. Equal principal means that the monthly principal repayment is fixed, and interest decreases as the principal decreases, so the monthly repayment amount decreases month by month, resulting in relatively lower total interest expense, but higher repayment pressure in the early stages.
• Q: What should I pay attention to when making early repayments? A: Most provident fund loans support early repayment, but different banks or regions may have different regulations, such as whether a penalty is charged, whether advance application is required, etc. It is recommended that you consult your lending bank or provident fund management center in detail before deciding to make an early repayment.
