Here are some of the basic eligibility criteria that you will need to meet when applying for a <strong>Personal loan Singapore.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>Age of the Applicant \u2013 Any borrower should have attained the age of 21 years, although some lenders offer up to the age of 21 years and do not lend to individuals who are above the age of 60.<\/li>\r\n<li>Annual Income \u2013 Most lenders require Singaporeans or permanent residents to have an annual income of $20,000 and $40,000 for foreigners with valid credentials.<\/li>\r\n<li>Residence Status \u2013 Most lenders in Singapore offer personal loans to citizens, permanent residents and foreigners with valid credentials.

The income can either be your salary or from the business.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Types of Personal Loan<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>There are two types of <strong>personal loans Singapore<\/strong> namely; term loan and revolving loan.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Term Loan<\/strong> \u2013 Term loan comes with a set period of time or a fixed period as well as established monthly installment. The interest rate for the term loan is usually higher than that of a revolving loan but a small percentage is usually charged for processing fees<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>A Revolving Loan<\/strong> \u2013 It is also referred to as the personal line of credit. Just like a credit card, you can use it anytime, anywhere up to your credit limit. You are only required to pay a minimum of 2.5% of the amount utilized each month. Because of its revolving nature and flexibility, the interest rates are usually higher.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Loan Tenure<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>A revolving loan does not have a fixed loan period, it is always available as long as you have regulalized the amount utilized. Once you pay the amount utilized, the limit becomes available again for you to utilize.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Term loan can extend from 1 year 7 years.
