For non-first-home loans or loans with special interest rate agreements, ICBC will launch a negotiated adjustment mechanism. Borrowers can apply through online banking or offline branches, and the bank will review factors such as loan duration, repayment status, and current property ownership to determine the adjusted interest rate, with the lower limit not lower than the LPR for first-home loans in the same period when the loan was issued.
适用范围:聚焦刚需,合规 The adjustment is mainly targeted at individual housing loans issued before December 31, 2022, with the property being the borrower's only housing and in normal repayment status. Loans with overdue records in the past 24 months, or those used for non-residential purposes (such as commercial housing), are not covered for the time being.ICBC emphasized that it will strictly review the "first-home" qualification, and borrowers need to provide a家庭住房查询 result issued by the real estate registration department to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.
办理流程:简化手续,线上为主 To improve efficiency, ICBC has opened an online application channel on its mobile banking APP. Eligible customers can log in, enter the "loan management" module, and complete the application with one click after the system automatically verifies the loan information and housing status. For customers who need on-site handling, the bank has set up special windows in branches, and the entire process takes no more than 3 working days.In addition, for loans with a large number of customers (such as those from the same housing estate), ICBC will carry out batch adjustment and notify borrowers of the results via SMS and APP messages 7 days in advance.
As the first state-owned bank to clarify the adjustment plan, ICBC's move is expected to set a benchmark for the industry, and other large banks are likely to follow up with similar policies in the near future. For homeowners, the key is to pay attention to the bank's official notice, confirm their eligibility in a timely manner, and complete the adjustment procedures to reduce monthly repayment pressure.
