    No Name

    Unfortunately, I'm saying it, that kids can't open their own credit card accounts. Because 8-year old kids can't get their own credit card. Although, parents' account may allow them to add child name in credit card with your name! You typically have to be 18 years old to get a credit card on your own. But credit card issuers make it easy to get a credit card for a child under 18 as an authorized user on your account.

This may be the cheapest car loan refinancing option in Singapore

This may be the cheapest car loan refinancing option in Singapore as the bank allows borrowers to refinance their existing car loans for a very competitive rate of 2.08%, which is much cheaper than most rates for new loans. While the bank also offers loans for the purchase of new and used vehicles, these rates of 2.78% and 2.98% are not the cheapest available. If you are approved to refinance your existing car loan from another bank, you may be able to save thousands of dollars by switching to OCBC due to its refinance rate of 2.08%, which is significantly cheaper than those of most car loans offered by lenders in Singapore.

Maybank charges a much higher interest rate of 3.25% for its car loans than other lenders in Singapore, making it a less affordable option however, borrowers that are unable to obtain a car loan from other banks may want to keep Maybank in mind as a an alternative to other lenders. It is also worth noting that Maybank offers Islamic auto financing, which may be of interest to prospective borrowers.

Lowest rates for new and used car loans in Singapore

DBS charges interest rate of 2.28% for its car loans to individuals that apply online and that is the lowest rate offered for both new and used car loans in Singapore. In my opinion this makes DBS the most affordable option for those that require financing in order to purchase a vehicle. It is also worth noting that DBS is currently offering an even lower rate for the purchase of used cars (1.99% p.a.) in a promotion.
