Frequently asked questions

Is Hong Leong Finance a bank?

No — Hong Leong Finance is a MAS-regulated finance company, supervised under the Finance Companies Act 1967 (a different regulatory framework from the Banking Act 1970 that governs banks). Finance companies in Singapore offer many of the same products as banks (loans, deposits) under MAS supervision but operate under a separate licensing regime.

How does HLF bridging pricing compare to banks?

HLF prices bridging facilities per transaction. Specific rates and fee structures are quoted on application. Finance-company pricing is sometimes more flexible than banks, particularly for borrowers whose situations don't fit a standard bank-loan profile.

What is the Hong Leong Finance bridging-loan interest rate?

Hong Leong Finance bridging-loan rates are quoted on application. Banks typically price bridging facilities against their prime / board rate or against SORA, with the specific spread depending on the transaction. Hong Leong Finance does not publish a fixed bridging-loan rate. See the bridging-loan interest rate guide for the full pricing-model context.

What is the typical tenure on a Hong Leong Finance bridging loan?

6 months is the industry-standard tenure across virtually all MAS-regulated SG lenders. Some lenders allow extension at materially higher rates if your existing-property sale completes late.

How do I apply for a Hong Leong Finance bridging loan?

Apply through a Hong Leong Finance mortgage adviser, directly via Hong Leong Finance's online channels (if available), or via a MAS-regulated mortgage broker who can compare Hong Leong Finance against other lenders in parallel.
