Standard Chartered Home Saver option

Standard Chartered bank has introduced the facility of a Home Saver Home Loan which enables the borrower to pay back his home loan within halved repayment tenure at half the cost. This facility of Standard Chartered Limited Home Loan provides the borrower to deposit his money, whether it is his salary income or any other type of income, and even withdraw it whenever the borrower needs without the incidence of any additional charges levied by the bank. This deposit or withdrawal of money can be conveniently conducted through a free ATM cum Debit Card. The loan under this category attracts interest on a daily reducing balance method and the interest rate is applied monthly.

 

This Standard Chartered Limited Home loan works by opening a linked Transaction Account which would be associated with the Home Loan Account. Any surplus accumulation in the linked Transaction Account would be used to offset the outstanding balance in the Home Loan Account thus enabling you to pay off your outstanding home loan faster and close the home loan account. Thus, the interest would be calculated and paid only on the difference between the outstanding amount of loan and the surplus funds of the borrower.
