premiumfinance.hk｜香港保费融资实务（英文站）

premiumfinance.hk is an independent, English-language information site about one thing: how banks in Hong Kong provide premium financing for new life insurance policies. It covers the credit process and the documents a bank asks for, loan-to-value against day-one surrender value, pricing off HIBOR, Prime, cost of funds or a fixed rate, interest reset mechanics, margin calls and unwinds, repayment and exit routes, and a pre-application checklist. Regulation is covered in one section so that readers know which Insurance Authority and Hong Kong Monetary Authority standards sit behind bank practice.

The site does not name or recommend products, does not reproduce benefit illustrations, does not compare illustrated returns, and does not describe currency or cross-border fund routes. It is not a bank, an insurer or a licensed insurance intermediary and accepts no applications. Figures come from public documents of the IA, the HKMA, the Hong Kong Association of Banks and banks' own key facts statements and product pages, each cited with its date; where a figure cannot be verified the page describes the mechanism instead. Chinese pages are summaries of the English originals.

Regulators and industry bodies cited on this site

Our material relies on regulations, guidelines and statistics published by the bodies below, cited page by page with dates. This site has no affiliation with, authorisation from, or endorsement by any of them.

Editorial principles

  1. We compile only public material from insurers, banks, regulators and official statistics, citing source and date per item; where the source is silent, we do not infer.
  2. We separate guaranteed from non-guaranteed, fact from opinion, regulation from practice; illustrations, back-tests and past performance do not indicate future results.
  3. We do not recommend products or promise returns, approvals or tax outcomes; personalised advice is the responsibility of licensed or exempt institutions and their appointed representatives.
  4. Cross-border content states the applicable jurisdiction; readers should obtain advice in their own jurisdiction.
  5. If you spot an error or outdated figure, tell us via the contact page; corrections are dated.

Editorial policy

Every article follows one process: define a single question, consult public documents from regulators, insurers and official statistics and record each source with its date, then have a second editor cross-check figures, terminology and the version of the rules cited. Pages are dated when updated. Guaranteed and non-guaranteed items, and facts and opinions, are labelled separately; nothing is inferred where sources are silent.
