Promotion Mechanics

  1. If you satisfy the qualifying criteria set out in Clause 2 above, you will be eligible to receive a one-off account credit (“Eligible Account Credit”). The amount of the Eligible Account Credit will depend on the amount of the Computed Interest, as stipulated in Table A below, and the “Computed Interest” is, for the purposes of this Promotion, the total sum of the interest component of each of the first twelve (12) monthly instalments, which are payable by you in respect of the Auto Loan and is calculated using the formula stated below in Clause 5. For the avoidance of doubt, the amount of the Eligible Account Credit (see the right-most column of Table A below) shall correspond to the amount of the Computed Interest (see the left-most column of Table A below) and the Eligible Account Credit is capped at a maximum of S$3,000 per customer. This is further illustrated in the table at Clause 5 below.

Table A:

Amount of Computed Interest Amount of Eligible Account Credit
S$1 to S$1,999.99 S$2,000
S$2,000 to S$3,000 Same as the amount of the Computed Interest
More than S$3,000 S$3,000

 

  1. The Computed Interest can be calculated by the formula below:

where,

  1. N is the hire period of the Auto Loan in months;
  2. Total interest is the amount financed x flat interest rate x N ÷ 12
