- Wholesale loan
- Wholesale loans and retail loans are differentiated according to the loan object. Wholesale loans are targeted at large industrial and commercial enterprises and institutions, while retail loans are targeted at consumer individuals and small private enterprises. Wholesale loans can be mortgage or unsecured, and the term can be short, medium or long term. For wholesale loans with large amounts and long maturities, they face greater interest rate risks than retail loans, and therefore use variable interest rates more. There are also short-term, medium-term or long-term retail loans. As most of the retail loans are short-term and medium-term, the long-term is relatively small, so most of them use mortgage loans and fixed interest rates. In recent years, some unsecured floating-rate personal consumption loans have also been developed.
