A roundup of bank personal loan rate caps: Big four banks at 6%, some city and rural commercial banks lower than joint-stock banks
Several banks recently announced caps on the overall financing costs of personal loans.

Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, Agricultural Bank of China, Bank of China, and China Construction Bank all have an annualized rate cap of 6% for personal consumer loans and business loans, while Postal Savings Bank of China and Bank of Communications set the cap at 12%. Among joint-stock banks, China Merchants Bank, China CITIC Bank, and several others cap their self-operated consumer loans at 12%, Ping An Bank reaches 18.5%, and China Bohai Bank and Evergrowing Bank go up to 24%. For business loans, China Everbright Bank caps at 8%, Huaxia Bank at 10%, Ping An Bank at 20%, and China Bohai Bank at four times the loan prime rate. Among city commercial banks, Qilu Bank, Bank of Jilin, and Qishang Bank set the overall financing cost cap at 18%, while Bank of Chengdu caps self-operated consumer loans and business loans at just 7%.
