Interest
  • If there is no Currency Event Designation by the Bank,
     
  • interest on the SID is paid on the Deposit Maturity Date;
  • the Customer will receive a fixed per annum interest rate of the Principal Amount for the entire tenor of the SID and such interest amount is calculated by reference to the relevant Spot Rate and Forward Rate and is fixed upfront.
  • Upon Currency Event Designation by the Bank on or prior to the Deposit Maturity Date, no interest amount shall be payable to the Customer.
    Spot Rate
  • A rate expressed as the amount of Chinese Renminbi (CNY) per one unit of Settlement Currency (stated in the SID Order Form).
    Forward Rate
  • A rate expressed as the amount of Chinese Renminbi (CNY) per one unit of Settlement Currency (stated in the SID Order Form).
    Redemption
  • If there is no Currency Event Designation by the Bank, the Bank will pay 100% of the Principal Amount to the Customer on the Deposit Maturity Date in the Settlement Currency, provided that the SID is maintained by the Customer with the Bank up to the Deposit Maturity Date.
  • Upon Currency Event Designation by the Bank, the Bank will pay the Mandatory Redemption Amount to the Customer on the Mandatory Redemption Date. The Mandatory Redemption Amount is likely to be substantially less than the Principal Amount and in the worst case scenario, the Mandatory Redemption Amount is zero.
     
    NOT A PROTECTED DEPOSIT
    The SID is NOT a protected deposit and is not protected by the Deposit Protection Scheme in Hong Kong.
     
    KEY RISK FACTORS:
    Please be reminded of the following key risks of investing in the SID and refer to the section of “Risks Associated with the SID” in the Termsheet for details:
     
    1. Not a traditional deposit: The SID is a form of structured product that carries risks not normally associated with ordinary bank deposits. This SID is not equivalent to a time deposit. The Customer should therefore not treat the SID as a substitute for ordinary savings or time deposits. The SID is not a protected deposit and is not protected by the Deposit Protection Scheme in Hong Kong.
    2. Principal amount received upon redemption: If there is no Currency Event Designation by the Bank, the Customer will receive 100% of the Principal Amount on the Deposit Maturity Date only if the Customer holds the SID up to the Deposit Maturity Date.
    3. Currency Event Designation by the Bank: Upon Currency Event Designation by the Bank, the Bank will pay the Mandatory Redemption Amount in the Settlement Currency to the Customer on the Mandatory Redemption Date. The Mandatory Redemption Amount is likely to be substantially less than the Principal Amount and in the worst case scenario, the Mandatory Redemption Amount is zero. Upon Currency Event Designation by the Bank on or prior to the Deposit Maturity Date, the Customer will not receive any Interest Amount.
    4. Liquidity risk: The SID is a commitment by the Customer for the deposit tenor. No early uplift, early withdrawal or early termination by the Customer is permitted. The Customer has to maintain the SID with the Bank up to the Deposit Maturity Date.
    5. Credit risk: The Customer is taking on the credit risk of DBS Bank (Hong Kong) Limited. In the worst case scenario, where DBS Bank (Hong Kong) Limited defaults on its payment obligations under the SID, the Customer will receive no interest payment and lose his original investment amount.
     
    Note: The above is for your reference only. Please refer to Termsheet of the relevant SID for details.
