Currently, ICBC imposes a 15 percent discount on the benchmark lending rate. After the adjustment, qualified clients will enjoy a 30 percent discount on the benchmark rate.



ICBC explained that customers who have failed to pay their mortgages for two consecutive sessions will be excluded from the preferential policy.
