Buying a car

We are a newly wed couple and we wanted to buy a car. My uncle was selling his car because he desperately needs money. Since it was very affordable for that high quality car, we decided to take a loan and buy the car to my uncle.The loan will be done after five years which is a very long time.We felt like we can pay for it and not be that hurtful when paying.

    Loans are known to be cheap and has low interest rate compared to those credit cards. It is useful at times like this because they can be short-term or long-term loans. Personal loans are nice because the better credit score you get, the higher the annual income. Thus, they will offer you loans which is more affordable for you.

    I took a two-wheeler loan from Shriram city and buy my personal bike. loans are such a headache but if your loan provider charges low interest then people easily tolerate it.

DBS personal loans are based on either your credit card or personal line of credit

DBS personal loans are based on either your credit card or personal line of credit. Thus if you have DBS credit card or DBS Cashline and a DBS deposit account, you can apply through internet banking and get your loan processed immediately and credited instantly into your account. However if you don’t have a DBS credit card you can still get this loan, but you will have to furnish your income documents and obviously you won’t get the funds right away

MoneySmart exclusive rate of 3.5% (7.27% p.a.) for new loan customers with only 1% processing fee

The OCBC ExtraCash Loan is a true personal loan as it allows you to borrow up to 6X your monthly salary. However, I must warn that the interest rate is kinda high. If you don’t require that much money, I recommend that you consider the OCBC Cash-on-Instalments loan which is slightly cheaper. However currently with OCBC personal loan, you can get a MoneySmart exclusive rate of 3.5% (7.27% p.a.) for new loan customers with only 1% processing fee. For existing loan customers, you pay an interest of 4.7% p.a. (EIR 9.46% p.a.).

One other good thing CIMB credit cards have is that there are no annual fees

The CIMB CashLite personal loan is based on your available credit card credit limit therefore you have to be a CIMB cardholder to apply for it. One other good thing CIMB credit cards have is that there are no annual fees but CIMB doesn’t publish their interest rates online. The actual interest rate is personalised based on your risk profile and credit history so you might very well end up with a higher interest rate than advertised.
