5. Funding Through The Platform

5.1. An Investor may, as long as such Investor maintains Available Funds not less than the Minimum Available Funds, view and participate in the Transaction Documents available on the Platform in accordance with this Investors’ Terms and Conditions and such Transaction Documents.

5.2. An Investor will fund its Account by transferring its funds into the Trust Account in the following manner:

  1. All amounts transferred into the Trust Account (pursuant to bank account details as disclosed on the Platform) shall be made from the Investor’s designated bank account, details of which are provided by the Investor in its Registration Information.
  2. Investors may be required to notify GXS Capital the details of any transfer made to the Trust Account immediately after any such transfer has been made. Such transfer details shall include the (i) Investor’s Account number; (ii) transaction reference number; (iii) date and amount of transfer; and (iv) such other information GXS Capital may, from time to time require.
  3. Parties may take some time to confirm the transfer and for monies to be credited into the Trust Account and reflect the same unto the Investor’s Account dashboard on the Platform. As such, the time and date that such Available Funds are deemed to have been credited into the Trust Account shall only occur when details of such credit have been reflected on the Investor’s dashboard on the Platform.

5.3. If at the expiry of a Request Period the aggregate amount of all Investment Commitments in relation to an Investment posted on the Platform, by all Investors is:

  1. below the Investment Threshold, then the relevant Investment shall be deemed to have been withdrawn and will be cancelled. Investors who have submitted their Investment Commitment via the Platform will not have such Investment Commitment amount deducted from its dashboard on the Platform;
  2. at the Investment Threshold, unless the SME withdraws from the transaction contemplated in the relevant Transaction Documents posted, the Investment Commitment will be deemed committed by the Investor (and therefore Committed Funds) and the Investor may not withdraw or cancel such commitment thereafter. If the transaction contemplated by the relevant Transaction Documents is terminated, cancelled or withdrawn for any reason whatsoever, GXS Capital may not be able to disclose the reason for such termination, cancelation or withdrawal but GXS Capital will update the dashboards on the Platform of the relevant Investors to reflect the amount of Committed Funds as Available Funds; or
  3. above the Investment Threshold, GXS Capital through the Platform will accept the Investment Commitments that are input to the Platform on a first-come-first-served basis and in accordance with GXS Capital’ internal investment selection process policy, until the aggregate amount of all the successfully submitted Investment Commitments thereto matches the Requested Amount. The rest of the Investment Commitments offered will not be accepted. If the Investment Commitment offered by an Investor is not accepted, GXS Capital will update the dashboards on the Platform of the relevant Investors to reflect the amount of Committed Funds as Available Funds. GXS Capital’ decision on which Investment Commitments are selected for funding a corresponding transaction contemplated by a Transaction Document posted on the Platform shall be final and binding,

provided that GXS Capital reserves the right to terminate, cancel or withdraw any Investment or transaction contemplated therein if the relevant SME fails to fulfil any of GXS Capital’ internal policies and/or requirements, including any credit assessment or compliance checks. GXS Capital may not be able to disclose the reason for such termination, cancelation or withdrawal, but GXS Capital will update the dashboards on the Platform of the relevant Investors to reflect the amount of Committed Funds as Available Funds.

5.4. No interest shall accrue to the Investor in respect of any Available Funds.

5.5. Investors may offer to fund by accepting, executing or acceding (as the case may be) to the Transaction Documents posted on the Platform within the corresponding Request Period, provided that the Investor has sufficient Available Funds in its Account for such Investment Commitment it has indicated. The Investor shall be deemed to have accepted the Transaction Documents posted on the Platform and offered to fund, by notifying the Investor’s designated relationship manager in writing of the amount of the Investment Commitment (pursuant to information in the Transaction Documents and the Platform) that the Investor intends to fund from the Trust Account towards the Investment. The Investor thereafter authorises GXS Capital to deduct and apply the Investment Commitment in accordance with the Investor’s selection, pursuant to the Transaction Documents and at any time, without further consent required from the Investor. For the avoidance of doubt, an Investor’s submission of an Investment Commitment offer does not constitute any legal obligation on the part of GXS Capital to process, fulfil or accept such Investment Commitment.

5.6. GXS Capital is deemed to be authorised on behalf of each Investor to disburse their respective Committed Funds to the SME or its designated payee stipulated in the relevant Transaction Document(s), in accordance with the Investment selected by that Investor pursuant to the terms of the relevant Transaction Documents and this Investors’ Terms and Conditions.

5.7. The minimum Investment Commitment that an Investor may participate in each Transaction Document is set out in the Transaction Document.

5.8. Investors acknowledge and agree that GXS Capital’ publishing of any Transaction Document on the Platform, shall not be deemed to be an offer but shall be construed as an invitation to treat.

5.9. All Interest Rate payments from your Investments will be credited to your Available Funds when GXS Capital receives the same from the SME of such Investment provided always that GXS Capital may, without limiting any of GXS Capital’ other rights herein or elsewhere, apply any amount received from the SME in or towards:

  1. firstly, payment of any amount due by the SME under any Investment or Transaction Document to which the SME is a party; and
  2. secondly, payment of any amount due by you under any Investment or Transaction Document to which you are a party (which includes the deduction of any withholding tax made payable by GXS Capital to the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore). It is your responsibility to account for any other applicable tax that may be payable to the appropriate authorities.

5.10. GXS Capital is authorised at any time, at its sole and absolute discretion without giving any reason, to transfer back any or all amounts of the Investor’s Available Funds (less any Investment Commitments made) to the Investor’s own bank account and to limit the Investor’s access on the Platform such that the Investor will not be able to view any existing or new Transaction Documents posted or to be posted on the Platform.

5.11. Termination of Investment

  1. GXS Capital shall be entitled at any time, at its sole and absolute discretion without giving any reason, to terminate or cancel any Investment, any Investment Commitment or transaction in respect of which an Investment or Investment Commitment was made (such transaction shall be referred to as “contemplated transaction” for the purposes of this Clause 5). GXS Capital shall return the principal amount of that particular Investment or Investment Commitment (as the case may be) along with a pro rata accrued interest (if any) on that particular Investment to the Investor’s bank account as Available Funds, or as the case may be, update the dashboards on the Platform of the relevant Investor to reflect the amount of Committed Funds as Available Funds, and thereafter the Investor shall not be entitled to any further payments or claims in respect of that particular Investment, Investment Commitment or the contemplated transaction; and
  2. The Investor shall be deemed to have accepted the termination or cancellation of the Investment, Investment Commitment or contemplated transaction by GXS Capital, and shall not have any recourse to or to exercise any rights, power, authority or discretion arising under the Transaction Document against GXS Capital in connection with any such termination or cancellation.

6. Withdrawals From Account

Investors may:

  1. through the Platform; or
  2. upon three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice to GXS Capital (or such number of days as GXS Capital may require from time to time and as notified to the Investors through the Platform),

request withdrawal of all or some of their Available Funds so long as such Available Funds do not comprise Committed Funds or have been disbursed pursuant to any Transaction Document.

7. Reinvest

7.1. Investors may also invest Available Funds automatically through use of the reinvestment commitment by communicating their decision to opt into the program to GXS Capital by email or in any other manner prescribed by GXS Capital from time to time (the “Reinvestment Commitment”, and such Investors, Reinvestment Investors). The Reinvestment Commitment allows an Investor to automatically finance further facilities to a specific SME that they are currently investing in. If an Investor opts in to the Reinvestment Commitment in respect of a particular Investment, any payments to be made to the Reinvestment Investor’s Account in respect of that Investment shall, once received by GXS Capital, be reinvested into future Investments in accordance with the Reinvestment Commitment instead of being credited as an uncommitted and available balance to the Reinvestment Investor’s account. Once an Investment has been made through the use of the Reinvestment Commitment, unless the Investor communicates to GXS Capital of its intention not to proceed with the said Investment before a loan has been disbursed pursuant to such Investment, and/or the Investor’s opt out selection pursuant to Clause 7.4 has already been effected prior to the making of such Investment, it is final and irrevocable.

7.2. Where Investment Commitments in respect of an Investment are above the relevant Investment Threshold, Reinvestment Investors will be given priority over other Investors.

7.3. Where Investment Commitments by Reinvestment Investors in respect of an Investment are above the relevant Investment Threshold, the Platform will select Reinvestment Investors’ Investment Commitments randomly based on GXS Capital’ system programming. In such an event, some Reinvestment Investors may not be selected or their Investment Commitment may be reduced.

7.4. A Reinvestment Investor may opt out of the Reinvestment Commitment by communicating his decision to GXS Capital by email or in any other manner prescribed by GXS Capital from time to time. GXS Capital will process and effect that opt out selection as soon as possible but this may take about seven (7) Business Days. Any Investment Commitment already submitted through the Reinvestment Commitment before the opt out selection is effected will remain applicable.

7.5. GXS Capital’ offering of the Reinvestment Commitment shall not be construed as investment advice or fund management.

7.6. GXS Capital may withdraw the availability of the Reinvestment Commitment or change the manner in which it operates at any time and without according any reason. You will be notified of such changes via the Platform or in writing, either through physical mail or electronic transmission.

8.2. Rights and discretions of GXS Capital

  1. GXS Capital may rely on:
    1. any representation, notice or document believed by it to be genuine, correct and appropriately authorised; and
    2. any statement made by a director, authorised signatory or employee of any person regarding any matters which may reasonably be assumed to be within his knowledge or within his power to verify or provide.
  2. While GXS Capital is under no obligation to verify or investigate into the authenticity of the Registration Information provided by you and the authority of any individual acting on your behalf, you agree to promptly supply to GXS Capital, upon request, such further information or documents as may be required by GXS Capital to ascertain the above.
  3. GXS Capital may assume (unless it has received notice to the contrary in its capacity as agent for the Investors) that no default or any other event stated in any Transaction Document or Security Document has occurred under such Transaction Document or Security Document.

  6. Notwithstanding any other provision of any document to the contrary, GXS Capital is not obliged to do or omit to do anything if it would or might, in its reasonable opinion, constitute a breach of any law, regulation, its obligations, any fiduciary duty or duty of confidentiality, and shall be entitled to perform any act or enforce any right for the purposes of complying with any law, regulation, court order or arbitral award to which it is subject without first notifying you or seeking your consent (where required)

In relation to any particular Investment, GXS Capital may engage, rely on the advice or services of any lawyers, accountants or other experts if it deems prudent to do so for the purposes of that Investment, including but not limited to debt recovery and collection efforts. The costs of such professionals shall (i) be borne by the Investors proportionately in accordance with each Investor’s Investment Commitment in respect of any Transaction Document or Security Document to which such advice or services relate and (ii) be deducted from the Available Funds of each such Investor.
  8. GXS Capital may prepay to the Investor the whole or any part of any Investment or Investment Commitment committed by the Investor, subject to:
    1. Clause 5.11 above; and
    2. the terms of such Transaction Document, provided always that the prior written approval of the Investor shall not be required and the Investor shall not be entitled to any prepayment fees being paid.

8.3. No independent power

The Investors shall not have any independent power to enforce, or have recourse to, any of the property in connection with the Investment (or the corresponding documentation relating thereto) or to exercise any rights, power, authority or discretion arising under the documents relating to the Investment, except through GXS Capital. Investors agree that GXS Capital may conduct any enforcement or recourse actions in its sole discretion in accordance with Clause 13.

8.4. Clawback and Pre-funding

8.5. Partial Payments

If GXS Capital receives a payment that is insufficient to discharge all the amounts then due and payable by an SME (subject to GXS Capital’ right to, in its sole and absolute discretion, waive any late fee payable), security provider or debtor under a Transaction Document or relevant Security Document, GXS Capital shall, subject to GXS Capital’ right in Clause 13.1 below to recover its costs (including all legal costs on a full indemnity basis) incurred as a priority, apply that payment to the pool of relevant Investors in the following order:

(i) first, in or towards payment pro rata to the Investors of any accrued interest or fee, less Investor Commission, due but unpaid under the Transaction Document which such Investors are party;

(ii) second, in or towards payment pro rata to the Investors of any amounts due but unpaid under that Transaction Document which such Investors are party to; and

(iii) third, in or toward payment pro rata of any unpaid amount owing to GXS Capital (or any of its agents).

For avoidance of doubt, in the case of invoice financing, GXS Capital shall allocate such partial payments received from an SME with multiple outstanding loan facilities based on payment reconciliation to the respective invoice. Or otherwise, the partial payments shall be allocated to the oldest outstanding loan ID obtained by the SME through the Platform.

8.6. Variation of application of payment

Notwithstanding Clause 8.5 above, GXS Capital may, in its sole discretion, apply any partial payment in any order as it may determine.

8.7. Calculations and Certificates

In relation to any amounts due and owing under any Transaction Document, or any litigation or arbitration proceeding arising out of or in connection there with, the entries made in the accounts, ledgers or books (in any medium or form) maintained by GXS Capital are prima facie evidence of the matters to which they relate. Any certificate or determination by GXS Capital of a rate or amount under any Transaction Document is, in the absence of manifest error, conclusive evidence of the matters to which it relates.

9. Fees

9.1. If any Investor owes an amount to GXS Capital under any Transaction Document, GXS Capital has the right without the need for further notice or reference to any Investor, to deduct from any monies received in the Trust Account from or by such Investor (including any interests or monies received by the Investor pursuant to any Investment, Transaction Document or Security Document), any charges and other amounts (including the Administration Fees) due to GXS Capital under this Investors’ Terms and Conditions or the Transaction Documents to which the Investor is party to and apply the amount deducted in or towards satisfaction of the amount owed. Where the monies received in the Trust Account from or by such Investor are insufficient to discharge all the amounts owed by the Investor to GXS Capital, the Investor must repay GXS Capital all remaining outstanding liabilities on demand.

9.2. In consideration of GXS Capital providing and administering the Platform and providing the Services and maintaining the Account, the following administrative fees and charges shall be payable by Investors to GXS Capital in relation to each Investment (collectively, the “Administration Fees”):

  1. the Investor Commission; and
  2. such other fees as GXS Capital may prescribe from time to time, by notice to Investors through the Platform.

9.3. The Administration Fees shall be deducted from payments received in the Trust Account from the relevant SME or their debtors under the corresponding Transaction Documents or Security Documents for the Investor’s Account, and such amounts of the Administration Fees will be recorded in each Investor’s dashboard on the Platform as an amount paid to GXS Capital. The Administration Fees shall be inclusive of any goods and services tax applicable to the Services (which may be claimed by GXS Capital subject to the Singapore Goods and Services Tax Act 1993).

9.4. The Investors shall bear all bank, service or other administrative charges (including any foreign exchange charges) for all payments made in respect of any transfer of funds from the Investors to the Trust Account or vice versa or in respect of any Transaction Document or Security Document.

10. Trust Account

The Investor authorizes and consents to GXS Capital depositing, holding and maintaining moneys received on account of the Investor in the Trust Account(s) as specified by GXS Capital.

10.2 Both GXS Capital and the Investors agree that the Trust Account is designated as a trust account or a customers’ account to hold the moneys received on account of the Investor and it is deliberately distinguished and maintained separately from any other account in which GXS Capital deposits its own moneys. Both GXS Capital and Investors further agree that the moneys in the Trust Account are moneys of the Investors, to be applied for purposes mutually agreed upon by the Investors under the terms of this Investors’ Terms and Conditions.

10.3 Please note that the moneys received on account of the Investor held in the Trust Account will be commingled with the moneys of other customers of GXS Capital. Nevertheless, GXS Capital shall accurately ascertain and maintain records of the transaction and available balance for each Investor.

10.4 The risk of the commingling in Clause 10.3 above is that it is administratively and operationally difficult, if not impossible (in view of the constant fluctuation of the aggregate balance in such account), to account separately for each of the Investors’ respective interest due on their respective cash balances in the Trust Account as interest will be received on an aggregate basis. In such circumstances, the Investors agree and consent that (a) GXS Capital may, in its sole and absolute discretion, retain any and all interest earned from the maintenance of moneys received from the Investor or held on account of the Investor in the Trust Account; and (b) in the event GXS Capital decide to retain any such interest, the interest shall not accrue to the Investor and the Investor shall not be entitled to nor have any interest in any such interest.

10.5 In the event of the insolvency of the Account Bank, the Investors acknowledge and understand that it may not be able to fully recover its moneys held in the Trust Account. Further, as the moneys are commingled with those of other customers in the same Trust Account, the Investors may potentially be exposed to the losses of other customers.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein in this Investors’ Terms and Conditions, the following are specifically acknowledged and agreed to by Investors:

12.8. In the case where Investors are making an Investment that is backed by insurance, the Investors understand and acknowledge that, pursuant to the terms of the relevant insurance policy, there may be instances where an Investor may not receive full, partial or any payment for a claim or may not receive recoveries in the claimed amount.

You further acknowledge that GXS Capital may agree (in its sole and absolute discretion) the fees and disbursements of the relevant solicitors or debt collection agents in relation to the enforcement of such Transaction Document or Security Document, and the costs of such fees and disbursements shall be borne by you proportionately in accordance with your Investment Commitment in respect of the relevant Transaction Document or Security Document, and shall be deducted from your Available Funds.

GXS Capital shall not be obliged to apply any reduced withholding tax rates if the Investors fail to meet the relevant qualifying criteria or fail to provide the requested information or documents, and GXS Capital shall not be responsible or liable in any way for the non-application of any reduced withholding tax rates.

These GXS FlexiLoan Biz Terms (“Terms”) set out the terms and conditions that govern the relationship between GXS Bank Pte. Ltd. (the “Bank”, “us”, “we” or “our”) and the customer (“you”) and the services and products that we provide to you under these Terms. The Bank agrees to provide you with the services or products that you have applied for, and for which we have approved your application.

Section A (General Terms and Conditions) sets out the terms and conditions (the “General Terms”) that apply generally to the services and products that the Bank provides to you under these Terms.

In addition, specific terms and conditions (each referred to as “Specific Terms”, and collectively referred to as the “Specific Terms”) will apply to the provision of specific services and products by the Bank to you. When the Bank introduces or agrees to provide you with new services or products, the Bank will inform you of the relevant Specific Terms that apply to the provision of such new services or products, and you agree that the relevant Specific Terms will apply to the provision of the relevant new service or product by the Bank. The Specific Terms are part of these Terms. If there is any inconsistency between the General Terms and the Specific Terms, the Specific Terms will prevail to the extent of such inconsistency.

A. General Terms and Conditions

1. Account Opening Requirements

1.1 To open any account with the Bank or use any service or product of the Bank, you:

  1. must meet such requirements that the Bank may specify from time to time, generally or in relation to any specific service or product;
  2. agree that the Bank may retrieve information relating to you or the individuals connected to you (including any Authorised Person or any director, officer, member, partner, shareholder or other beneficial owner) from any source maintained by any government authority, including the Myinfo or Myinfo business platform maintained by the Singapore government and the Bizfile+ portal maintained by the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority; and
  3. agree to provide the Bank with any information or document that the Bank asks for from you in such form and manner required by the Bank from time to time.

1.2 The Bank shall have the right, in our discretion, to approve or reject any application to open any account with the Bank, or to use any service or product of the Bank, without giving any reasons and shall not be liable for any Loss that may be incurred as a result.

2. Instructions

2.1 Instructions to the Bank must be given in writing (through any means specified and accepted by the Bank, including electronic means), or any other means permitted by the Bank.

2.2 You may authorise a person (an “Authorised Person”) to give instructions to the Bank and operate your account on your behalf. You may apply for a person to be an Authorised Person by providing us with the details of such person in the manner specified by us. Your appointment of an Authorised Person is subject to our approval and such conditions (including providing any indemnity in favour of the Bank and any evidence that such appointment has been duly authorised) specified by us. If we approve your appointment of an Authorised Person, you will ensure that such Authorised Person is aware of and complies with these Terms. These Terms, with the necessary modifications, apply to each Authorised Person. The Bank is under no obligation to enquire as to: (a) the validity of any authority granted to any Authorised Person, (b) the purpose for which any authority granted to any Authorised Person is exercised, or (c) whether any Authorised Person is exercising the authority granted to the Authorised Person in good faith. You may remove or replace an Authorised Person by providing written notice in the manner specified by us. Such removal or replacement will take effect after we inform you that we have accepted and approved such removal or replacement. Until we have accepted and approved such removal or replacement, we are entitled to and may continue to act on any instruction from such Authorised Person that you wish to remove or replace.

2.3 The Bank will not act on any instruction other than an instruction from you or given on your behalf (including by any Authorised Person). The Bank is entitled to act and rely on any instruction that it reasonably believes to come from you or to have been given on your behalf. If we request for information, or evidence of the identity or authority of the Authorised Person or authentication before acting on any instruction, you shall promptly provide such information, evidence or authentication. Notwithstanding this, we may act and rely on any instruction without requesting for evidence of your identity, the identity of any person giving the instruction on your behalf or any authentication.

2.4 Where any instruction is given through any means that require use of a passcode or PIN to access an application or other system before giving such instruction or to provide an authentication code, you agree that the use of such passcode, PIN or authentication code is evidence that the instruction comes from you and is authorised by you. You must safeguard the confidentiality of your passcodes, PINs and authentication codes. You must not disclose any passcode, PIN or authentication code to any person or keep a record of your passcode, PIN or authentication code in any matter that enables another person to misuse your passcode, PIN or authentication code. If you know or suspect that your passcode, PIN or authentication code has been compromised, you must immediately change your password, PIN or authentication code and notify the Bank.

2.5 The Bank may request you to provide additional confirmation before acting on any instruction. Notwithstanding this, we may act and rely on any instruction without requesting for such additional confirmation.

2.6 The Bank is not responsible or liable for any Loss that you may incur as a result of us acting on any instruction that was not authorised by you or did not come from you, unless such Loss is caused by our gross negligence, wilful misconduct or fraud.

2.7 You are responsible for ensuring that your instructions are given on time, and are accurate, clear and complete. The Bank may request confirmation, clarification or further information from you before acting on any instruction. We will not be responsible or liable for any Loss you may incur as a result of your instructions being late, inaccurate, unclear, inadequate or incomplete, or any time taken for us to confirm or clarify your instructions, unless such Loss is caused by our gross negligence, wilful misconduct or fraud.

2.8 The Bank shall have the right, but is not obliged, to not act on any instruction, or to carry out
checks before acting on any instruction, if:

  1. we reasonably believe the instruction to be not authorised or to have not come from you;
  2. the instruction is unclear or incomplete, or we receive conflicting instructions;
  3. you do not provide any information, document, authentication or confirmation requested by us;
  4. we believe that you lack the mental capacity to give us instructions or operate your account;
  5. there are insufficient funds in your account, or if any instruction may result in your account being overdrawn or having a negative balance;
  6. doing so may result in a breach of any Applicable Law (including any Applicable Law relating to anti-money laundering, countering the financing of terrorism or sanctions), or if we are prohibited by any Applicable Law, any court order or any direction from any regulator from doing so;
  7. any event or circumstance that is not reasonably within our control prevents us from doing so; or
  8. there is any other reasonable ground for us to do so, including any ground on which we have a right to freeze or suspend your account under Clause A10 (Rights of the Bank) or if any Event of Default has occurred.

The Bank will not be responsible or liable for any Loss that you may incur as a result, including from any delay in carrying out your instructions, unless such Loss is caused by our gross negligence, wilful misconduct or fraud.

2.9 Instructions once given cannot be cancelled or reversed and are binding on you, unless the Bank agrees otherwise.

3. Statements and Notifications

3.1 The Bank will periodically make available to you statements of account, confirmation advice, transaction records or other documents (“Statements”) setting out particulars of your accounts and transactions. The Bank may also send you notifications or alerts of transactions (“Notifications”) for your account, regardless of the value of the transaction.

3.2 You are responsible for checking your Statements and Notifications for errors or unauthorised transactions, and to verify the accuracy and completeness of the details in your Statements and Notifications. You must check any Statement or Notification immediately once you receive it.

3.3 We will be entitled to treat the details set out in the Statement or Notification as correct and accurate, and the relevant transaction as authorised by you, if you do not notify us of any errors or unauthorised transactions, or otherwise object to any details set out in your Statement or Notification within seven (7) days of the date of such Statement or Notification.

3.4 The Bank shall have the right, but is not obliged, to rectify any errors or omissions in any Statement or Notification.

The Bank’s fees and charges will be set out in a fee schedule notified to you from time to time. The fee schedule is part of these Terms. If there is any inconsistency between these Terms and the fee schedule, the fee schedule will prevail to the extent of such inconsistency.

4.2 In addition, you agree to pay the Bank for any expenses, taxes or other charges that the Bank may incur in providing you with any product or service. Where possible, the Bank will notify you in advance of any such expenses, taxes or charges.

4. Drawing Down from the GXS FlexiLoan Biz

4.1 The GXS FlexiLoan Biz allows you to drawdown up to ten (10) loans at any one time, within the credit limit assigned to you. You may select a tenure of two (2) to thirty-six (36) months (or such other tenure that is permitted by the Bank) for each loan.

4.2 Each loan may be disbursed into your current account opened in accordance with the Business Account Terms or any other business account maintained with the Bank, as we may permit or prescribe from time to time, where such account is held in the same name as that for the GXS FlexiLoan Biz Account. You are responsible for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the disbursement account number contained in your application for each loan. We are not responsible for verifying or ensuring that the disbursement account is your account. If you have provided an incorrect account number, we will not be liable or obliged to recall any loan(s) so disbursed and such loan(s) shall be repayable by you in accordance with these Terms. We will not be liable for any Loss that you may incur as a result.

4.3 You may utilise the GXS FlexiLoan Biz by delivery to the Bank of a duly completed GXS FlexiLoan Biz drawdown request. Drawdown requests once delivered are irrevocable and form part of these Terms.

  1. all necessary corporate documents and necessary resolutions, consents, approvals and other authorisations (if applicable) from any Obligor (if applicable);

  6. payment by you of all costs, expenses and fees (if any) required to be paid to the Bank.

5. Repayment

5.1 Each loan drawn from your available credit limit shall be repaid in equal monthly instalments (together with interest accrued) over its selected tenure.

The monthly repayment date for subsequent loans will follow the monthly repayment date for the first loan.

5.2 If the repayment date selected (e.g. 31st day) does not exist in a certain month (e.g. February), the date of repayment for that month would automatically be defaulted to the last day of that month.

5.3 You will have at least one (1) month from the drawdown date of a loan to make your first monthly repayment.

5.4 The Bank will apply repayments in the order of interest, fees and charges first, followed by principal. In the event where there are overdue repayment amounts, overdue repayment amounts will take precedence, unless otherwise stated. The Bank shall be entitled to apply and appropriate all repayments received in such manner or order as the Bank deems fit.

5.5 You may choose to repay your monthly instalment or your total loan(s) outstanding early without incurring any fees. Any interest savings due to early repayment will be reflected in your next monthly instalment.  

5.6 All repayment amounts may be paid to the Bank via your current account opened in accordance with the Business Account Terms or any other business account maintained with the Bank, as the Bank may permit or prescribe from time to time, or such other channels the Bank may make available to you from time to time.

6. Interest Rate and Late Interest

6.1 The Bank has sole discretion to determine the interest rate applicable to your loan.  

6.2 Interest for each loan drawn will begin to accrue from its drawdown date.

6.3 Interest will be calculated on a daily reducing principal basis without compounding interest. This means that as the principal balance of each loan reduces over the repayment period, your total interest payable reduces correspondingly.

6.4 For overdue instalments, late interest will be chargeable in the manner specified by us. The Bank offers a grace period of 2 days past your due date, where no late interest will be charged.

6.5 The Bank may revise the interest rate applicable to you from time to time in our discretion. Should any of your outstanding loans be affected by a change in interest rate (where applicable), the Bank will provide you 30 days’ notice before the revised rate comes into effect.

18.1 If the Bank determines that, as a result of:

  1. the introduction of or any change in, or in the interpretation or application of, any law (which shall for this purpose include any removal or modification of any exemption currently in force in your favour); or
  2. compliance by it with any law or regulation made after the date of these Terms:
