Financing rates

Every rate on this page is the sum of a publicly published benchmark and a contractual spread. Nothing is discretionary and nothing is hidden.

Accrual conventions

360-day basis

Interest is calculated on a 360-day year, the standard wholesale money-market convention.

Daily accrual

Applied to the closing balance each day. Repayments stop accrual on the day they are made.

Monthly settlement

Accrued interest is aggregated and charged once a month in arrears.

What we do not charge

  • No arrangement or facility establishment fee
  • No commitment or non-utilisation fee on the undrawn balance
  • No minimum monthly interest charge
  • No early repayment penalty
  • No rate floor preventing you from benefiting when benchmarks fall

Third-party costs — exchange fees, custody charges and applicable taxes — are passed through at cost and itemised separately on your statement.

Indicative pricing. Spreads shown are indicative and final pricing is subject to account review, portfolio composition and jurisdiction. The headline rate of 4.50% p.a. reflects the tightest tier spread applied to a prevailing benchmark level and will vary as benchmarks move.
