In line with our objective of bringing world class options to the UAE, Requirement Chartered announced today the launch of MortgageOne, a unique home mortgage option for traditional & Islamic banking clients in the UAE. The item has achieved success and extensively accepted in other big markets where Common Chartered operates like Singapore, Hong Kong and India.

Being a first for an international bank in the country, the MortgageOne account permits customers to combine their home loan borrowings and personal savings and purchases right into one account.

The means it functions is that clients pay interest only on the difference in between the finance equilibrium and the money kept in the account. So if a client has greater amounts of money in his/her account, the rate of interest paid by the client on a home mortgage will certainly be below usual. What that indicates is that, every time clients pay their mortgage installment, they will certainly be paying even more to the principal quantity of the funding and much less passion. This helps them repay their financing balance much faster compared to a normal mortgage and at a reduced interest expense.

Linking the current account with home loan does not simply conserve clients on rate of interest - they'll likewise have the adaptability to withdraw the passion saved, plus the money in their account (similar to a normal account) at any moment.

Talking about the launch occasion, Shehzad Hameed, Head of retail clients, Standard Chartered UAE stated: "We have actually changed from an item based approach to being a lot more client-focused. We have been establishing proposals and services based upon our clients' demands rather than taking a one-size- fits-all strategy. This has actually brought about the intro of MortgageOne in UAE.

In terms of eligibility, a customer will need to be between 21 and 65 years old, and gain at least AED 10,000 each month to avail a MortgageOne from Standard Chartered. The bank provides as much as AED 18 million.
