This is how we
make your money grow

We invest in
bonds globally

Leaving no stone unturned, we seek out, thoroughly test, and select a diversified portfolio of high-performing, short-term investment grade bond funds, spanning across developed and emerging markets. Managing volatility using safe and real assets is key.

Managing duration for increased returns

We’re not limited to money-market, overnight or bank-like assets for our Chocolate Managed Account, which means we have more ways to generate returns. Adding duration to our portfolio and focusing on yield to maturity mean we can generally keep our target returns stable for longer. We continually strive to find the perfect balance between happy returns, low volatility and enhanced liquidity.

We put our money where our mouth is

We only make money when you make money. So naturally, it’s our number one priority to deliver on our Chocolate rates. Better still if the portfolio underperforms on balances up to S$50k and US$50k, the difference will be topped up from now until 30th June 2026 or until we reach S$1.5 billion AUM.
ā€
It’s not only a better way, it’s the right way. Who else does this? Nobody.

What are the risks?

There are no guarantees in life. So, although you currently enjoy a 3% p.a. return on your first S$20k, 2.7% p.a. return on your next S$30k and up to 2.7% p.a. on any amount thereafter, we can’t guarantee it. For balances up to S$50k, during the qualifying period, any shortfall between the stated return and the actual return will be topped up through the Top-Up Programme. That said, we will always set our target returns at rates we confidently believe are achievable based on the characteristics of the underlying asset portfolios. Scroll to read more about what to expect from amounts above S$50k and whether your money in Chocolate Finance Account is safe from capital losses.

Just a heads-up: If the Chocolate Top-Up Programme is ever paused or stopped, your maximum withdrawal amount will be based on the actual value of your portfolio (also called Net Asset Value or NAV) – regardless of whether your balance is above or below the S$50k or US$50k. In this scenario, if you make a withdrawal (full or partial) when your underlying portfolio value is worth less than your balance, you will realise a proportionate share of the loss at the time of withdrawal.

When the Top-Up Programme is not available, returns will be based on the actual performance of your portfolio – this could be positive, negative or neutral, depending on how the underlying portfolio performs – just like what currently happens for balances above $50k.
What to expect from

Amounts above S$50k

It will take between 3 - 5 business days to start seeing your return
This is because your money gets invested in a portfolio of funds. It takes 1 - 2 days to confirm the trade, and another 3 or so business days for the transaction to complete. Don’t worry though - your money starts earning returns from trade confirmation though but takes a little longer to reflect in the app.

Note: Amounts below S$50k will see returns the very next day!

Your daily returns may go up and down in the short term
šŸ“ˆ As markets fluctuate everyday, you may see positive, negative or no returns on a daily basis. Since we invest in short duration bonds, this fluctuation should be relatively low. Don’t worry about this movement, we expect to make up to 2.7% p.a over time - so hang in there! Time in the market is more important than timing the market. Remember, we only make money after you make money.

What to expect from

Withdrawals

Withdrawals typically take up to 3 business days to reach your account.
Most withdrawals, regardless of the amount, typically take 3 business days to reach your account.
In some instances — such as when you've recently added money, converted to or from USD, or made multiple transactions around your withdrawal — it may take a little longer, up to 7 business days. This is because those transactions may not have fully processed by our daily 1pm cut-off. Learn why this happens.
While your withdrawal is being processed, your money will stop earning returns. This is because it’s no longer invested during that time. But don’t worry: you’ll still receive the full amount you requested. Even if the market moves while we’re selling your investment in the background, Chocolate will cover any difference so you’re not affected.
Note: While Chocolate used to support instant withdrawals for amounts below S$20k through its unique liquidity programme, the programme is currently unavailable and all withdrawals, regardless of amount, will take up to 3 business days to reach your account. Learn more here.

  • No complex criteria or hoops to jump through.
  • What's more, we take no fees and make no money until we deliver your returns.

What rate is Chocolate Finance offering?

Chocolate Finance offers a return of 3.8% p.a. on your first HK$100k, 3.5% p.a. on your next HK$200k, and up to 3.5% p.a. on any amount thereafter. Daily returns. No lock-ins. No complex criteria or hoops to jump through.

See your returns daily in the app. Chocolate takes no fee and only makes money after we deliver the return. This means, if we don't make the returns for your first HK$300k, we will make up the difference to you during the Qualifying Period so you enjoy the stated return 🄳. Does it get any better than that? Learn more about the Chocolate Advantage Programme here.

Chocolate reserves the right to change the return from time to time in line with market conditions.

Note: Chocolate Finance is not a bank and doesn't 'offer interest'. Instead, your money earns a 'return' based on the performance of the Chocolate Managed Account portfolio designed to deliver the return.

How does Chocolate Finance generate these great returns?

Your money is invested into a portfolio of SFC authorised funds carefully selected to optimise risk-adjusted returns based on factors like duration, yield to maturity, credit quality and currency. This allows the portfolio to deliver a return of 3.8% p.a. for the first HK$100k, 3.5% p.a. on your next HK$200k and up to 3.5% p.a. on any amount thereafter. We take no fee and make no money until we deliver your returns. What's more, if the portfolio doesn't make 3.8% p.a. for your first HK$100k and 3.5% p.a. on your next HK$200k, the difference will be made up to you by Chocolate so you enjoy the stated return during the Qualifying Period. Does it get any better than that?

To learn more about what the underlying funds invest in, see our FAQ: šŸ‘‰ What are the underlying funds?

What is the Chocolate Advantage Programme and its Qualifying Period?

The Chocolate Advantage Programme is a promotional programme. It's been put in place to support the returns on your first HK$300k (currently 3.8% p.a. on your first HK$100k and 3.5% p.a. on your next HK$200k) during the Qualifying Period. This means, if for some reason, the portfolio underperforms, the difference will be made up to you by Chocolate so you enjoy the current rate.

The Qualifying Period runs from now until 30th June 2026, or until the assets under management for the Chocolate Managed Account reach HK$1 billion—whichever comes first. Chocolate may, at its discretion, choose to extend or remove the Chocolate Advantage Programme.

Chocolate reserves the right to make changes to the Qualifying Period or adjust its rates at any time without prior notice. The Chocolate Advantage Programme will apply to the revised rate as long as it's within the Qualifying Period. For more details, please refer to the Chocolate Instant Withdrawal Programme and Chocolate Advantage Programme terms and conditions.

Risk disclosure: Chocolate Finance is licensed by the SFC (Securities & Futures Commission of Hong Kong) and cannot guarantee returns. We never want to pause the Chocolate Advantage Programme, but we reserve the right to pause or stop the programme at any time due to market disruptions, over-utilisation, excessive withdrawals, exchange restrictions, or other force majeure events, in order to protect our customers' interest in the long run.

How do I open a Chocolate Finance account?

Easily! You can open a Chocolate Finance account in minutes.

- Step 1: Download the Chocolate Finance app from the App Store or Google Play.
- Step 2: Sign up and verify your identity.
- Step 3: Once verified, add money to your account and start using!

And voila! See your returns daily in the app.

How long do withdrawals take to reach my account?

For withdrawals up to HK$50k, or multiple withdrawals adding up to HK$50k within any 1 given day – You will receive your money instantly! āš ļø In exceptional circumstances, such as an unusually high volume of withdrawal requests where we have reached our total daily withdrawal cap, you can still withdraw your money – it will just take a little longer to reach you – usually 3 business days, or you can wait until the next day. Read the full terms here.

For withdrawals over HK$50k (or multiple withdrawals adding up to more than HK$50k within any 1 given day) – You should usually receive your money in 3 business days (or a bit longer if you are withdrawing money you recently added). For example, if you withdraw HK$40k instantly and in the same day request another HK$20k, the second withdrawal should usually take 3 business days to reach your account since the total for the day exceeds HK$50k (HK$40k + HK$20k = HK$60k).

In some instances – like if you’ve recently added money, or made multiple transactions or during portfolio rebalancing — your withdrawal might take a little longer to reach your account. That’s because those transactions may not have fully processed by our daily 12:30pm cut-off. In such cases, it can take up to 7 business days.

Is Chocolate Finance Legitimate?

Yes, Chocolate Finance is absolutely legitimate! Chocolate Finance is a brand of Chocolate Finance HK Ltd, which is licensed (CE No. BSF252) under the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Cap 571) to carry out business in Type 1 (Dealing in Securities), Type 4 (Advising on Securities) and Type 9 (Asset Management) regulated activities.

How secure is Chocolate Finance?

Security is our top priority. Here's how we keep your account, money, and data secure:

  • Your money is safeguarded within a separated trust account in a bank.
  • We implement two-factor authentication (2FA) and a pin for high value transactions and withdrawals, adding an extra layer of protection to your account.
  • We provide real-time alerts to keep you informed of any account activity.
  • Our transaction monitoring system keeps a close eye on all transactions and would flag any suspicious activity to ensure your peace of mind.
  • We regularly scan for vulnerabilities and hire independent auditors to conduct internal and external security tests.

Rest assured, Chocolate Finance is operated by Chocolate Finance HK Ltd, licensed by the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong (CE No. BSF252).

As there are no fees, how does Chocolate Finance make money?

There are no monthly charges or subscriptions for using Chocolate Finance. We invest your money in a portfolio of fixed-income funds and no fees are charged until you achieve the stated returns. We only make money after you’ve made money. So naturally, it’s our number one priority to deliver on your returns.

Only if the return has been achieved and the fund outperforms the returns, we will take a fee of between 0-2%, depending on how much the portfolio outperforms (we've got to make our money somewhere šŸ¤‘). We will never take any money from your 3.8% p.a. returns on your first HK$100k or amounts thereafter for performance below 3.5% p.a.

What underlying funds does my money go to?

The Chocolate Finance managed account is a portfolio of funds currently made up of:

  • Amundi Funds US Short Term Bond
  • Invesco USD Ultra-Short Term Debt Fund
  • Taikang Kaitai Overseas Short Tenor Bond Fund
  • abrdn Short Dated Enhanced Income

Portfolio composition may change at the sole discretion of the portfolio manager from time to time. In your app, you will be able to see the information on each fund and the percentage of money allocated to them.
