4.

When the loan is due, the interest shall be paid off with the principal. If the maturity date of the loan is a legal holiday or public holiday, and the loan is repaid on the last banking day before such holiday, the interest shall be settled at the contract interest rate, but the interest settled at the contract interest rate corresponding to the number of days between the maturity date and the repayment date shall be deducted; If the loan is repaid on the first banking day after the legal holiday or public holiday, the interest corresponding to the number of days between the maturity date and the repayment date shall be charged at the contract interest rate.
