1. The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited (‘the Bank’) is authorised to apportion the monthly payments between interest and principal as it shall desire, and to debit the account of the successful applicant (‘the Borrower’) with the amount of each monthly repayment commencing one month after Personal Instalment Loan (‘the Loan’) has been made to the Borrower(s).
2. The Bank is authorised to contact all relevant parties for verification and/or to obtain any other information about the Borrower either verbally or in writing from time to time when it is deemed necessary.

5. The Borrower must notify the Bank in writing of any change of name, address and employment.
6. In the event of failure to make any monthly repayment when due, interest at the rate of 2.1% per month (both before and after judgement) from the relevant monthly repayment date until the date of repayment or until repayment of the outstanding principal amount of the Loan has been demanded (whichever shall occur first), shall be charged on the amount of any overdue monthly repayment(s) and in the event of such default and not otherwise. The Bank is at liberty to disclose to the employer of the Borrower the state of the Borrower’s indebtedness.
