Kind Reminders

If the customer has deposited the savings principal into the bank when he/she submits the Structural Savings Application Form to the bank, he/she is not required to make a deposit margin. If the customer does not deposit the fund into the bank when submitting the application form, the customer needs to make a deposit margin of a certain amount. This is because structural savings is actually an interest rate or exchange rate related financial instrument (such as option or exchange), its value may vary before the transaction date, the bank may ask the customer to make a deposit margin of a certain amount between the savings application submission date and the transaction date in order to prevent the unfavorable change of the value of the financial instrument therein. Since the risks of different financial instrument vary a lot, the bank will establish the deposit margin requirement respectively according to such factors as specific structural savings clauses and the customer’s credit record; the percentage of the deposit margin is usually 3% to 15% of the savings principal. If the customer breaches the contract, the bank will deduct the customer’s deposit margin as stipulated, so as to make up the bank’s losses and related charges.
