Foreign currency risk and possibly liquidity risk and additional costs resulting from the conversion to and backwards from RMB/CNY are applicable The costs and currency rate fluctuations as a result of these risks can diminish your accrued interest and may even lead to a loss on your originally deposited amount in Euro’s. Savings in RMB/CNY is therefore only appropriate for you if you have sufficient knowledge of foreign currency and liquidity risk.

Given the possible RMB/CNY foreign currency rate fluctuations we recommend you to:
• Monitor closely your RMB/CNY foreign currency position and RMB/CNY foreign currency rate;
• Obtain professional investment advice;
• Not expose your funds needed for daily and unexpected expenses to RMB/CNY currency and liquidity risk;
• Take into account the cost as a result of the margin between the bid and offer rate of foreign currency.

For a detailed explanation of the cost and risks mentioned, information regarding the RMB/CNY and doing RMB/CNY exchange transactions, please refer to our website www.icbc.co.nl and more specifically to the webpage’s “Saving & Deposits" and “Personal FX" and the applicable “Terms and Conditions Retail Customers” in particular the chapter “Foreign Currency Exchange Spot Transaction Conditions”.

We do not offer investment advice concerning saving in RMB/CNY, do not analyze your financial position and do not verify your experience with foreign exchange to determine whether transactions in foreign currencies are suitable or appropriate for your situation and we do not contact you if market conditions change. Foreign currency taken and held by you are for the benefit and risk of you. We therefore accept no liability for any (foreign currency) losses.

After this date it is not possible to participate in this time deposit promotion! We rely on your sending bank for incoming transactions and therefore cannot be hold responsible for any delay in receiving funds.

On 28/01/2014 you can still contact us before 16:30 by telephone to convert your funds to RMB/CNY. The conversion will only be executed after we have received your form, and you agreed by telephone on the exchange rate. This phone call will be recorded.
