六大行集体停售5年期的大额存单，躺赚利息的时代可能真的要终结了。 最近，工行、农行、中行、建行、交行和邮储六大行的 App 上，五年期大额存单统一"看不见了"。不 少客户打电话去问，柜面也普遍回复：五年期大额存单暂停售卖，具体恢复时间未定。 这类产品突然消失，引发讨论并不意外，因为对很多人来说，大额存单是"稳、利息还不错"的配置方 式。但从银行业内看，这件事既是"早就该发生"，也确实反映了行业一个更深层的变化。 现在六大行在售的大额存单最多只有三年期的，但是额度有限，还必须拼手速才能抢到。而仅剩的三年 期产品利率普遍降到1.5%至1.75%，且额度也不富裕。据悉，工商银行三年期大额存单门槛更是提升至 100万元。 现在银行对存款的态度非常矛盾，既担心客户不存，因为这会导致客源流失，而且银行存贷业务是一体 的，存款不够就是竭泽而渔影响长期运营，但同时又害怕存的太多增加利息支出，要知道，今年前10个 月住户存款增加了11.39万亿，足以让很多银行谈钱色变了。在这个背景下，大规模的削减高利率的存 款产品，只保留活期和少部分低利率的存款产品就是目前的最优解了。 所以，至少有一点是可以确认，那就是在贷款没有完全恢复之前 ...

Core Viewpoint - The recent announcement from the Bank of China regarding the Loan Prime Rate (LPR) indicates that the rates remain unchanged, prompting an exploration of the differences between commercial loans and public housing loans in China [1][2]. Commercial Loan Rates - The 1-year LPR is set at 3.0%, while the LPR for loans over 5 years is 3.5%, effective until the next announcement [2]. Public Housing Loan Rates - For first-time homebuyers, the interest rates are 2.1% for loans under 5 years and 2.6% for loans over 5 years. For second homes, the rates are 2.525% for loans under 5 years and 3.075% for loans over 5 years [3]. Interest Cost Comparison - A hypothetical loan of 1 million yuan over 30 years at a 3.5% commercial loan rate results in approximately 616,000 yuan in interest payments. In contrast, a public housing loan at 2.6% would incur about 441,000 yuan in interest. A combination of 500,000 yuan in public housing loan and 500,000 yuan in commercial loan would lead to around 528,000 yuan in interest [5]. Public Housing Loan Application Conditions - Applicants must be employed in Shenzhen and have contributed to the public housing fund for at least 6 months, or be self-employed with contributions for at least 12 months [6]. - Co-applicants must also meet the same conditions [7]. Purchase Requirements - Applicants must provide a valid purchase contract and comply with Shenzhen's housing purchase policies. The minimum down payment is 20% for both first and second homes, with a 15% requirement for affordable housing [7]. Loan Repayment Capacity - Monthly repayments should not exceed 50% of the applicant's public housing fund contribution base [8]. Loan Duration and Limits - The maximum loan term is 30 years, and the loan amount is calculated as 16 times the balance of the public housing fund account [9]. Transfer from Commercial to Public Loan - Conditions for transferring from a commercial loan to a public loan include prior approval from the original commercial loan bank and no overdue payments in the last 6 months [17]. Required Documentation for Transfer - Necessary documents include the public housing loan application form, identification, marriage status proof, purchase contract, and original commercial loan documents [18][19]. Processing Method for Transfer - If the original commercial loan bank is a designated public housing loan bank, the applicant can process the transfer without settling the original loan first [20].
