In addition, employees of eligible businesses and members of eligible associations who are affected by COVID-19 can also apply for this payment holiday.

Structuring of the new loan and repayment plan:

• Deferred instalments during the extended payment holiday will be converted to a term loan including any interest and capital falling due during 1 October 2021 to 30 June 2022. Any capital and interest falling due during previous moratorium periods will also be included into this term loan. Repayment of this additional loan will start from July 2022. A minimum of 2 years will be allowed for repayment. However, based on client request, the relevant tenure can be agreed upon.

• Interest rate for the converted loan is 6.11% p.a. for a repayment period of two years or less. For longer periods, the relevant interest rate would be the prevalent counter rate as of 1 July 2022.

• Alternatively, without deferring the instalments, you can restructure the existing loan facility over an extended period, subject to an agreed interest rate with the Bank. Based on your request, the relevant tenure and rate can be agreed upon. Please reach out to your respective Relationship Manager, Branch Manager or write to Feedback.RC@sc.com to obtain more information.
