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

Get interest-free cash in 15 minutes from as low as 0.7% processing fee
With the Credit Card Funds Transfer, you can get interest-free cash in 15 minutes from as low as 0.7% processing fee (EIR from 2.83% p.a.) and also freely choose your preferred tenure of 3, 6, 9 or 12 months. Although they offer a 0% p.a. interest rate, this is valid for a Credit Card Funds Transfer with a 3, 6, 9 or 12 month tenure and is only applicable to the amount transferred pursuant to the application submitted in respect of this promotion. The prevailing interest rate of 26.9% p.a. applies after the expiration of the tenure indicated in the application form.

A great contender for the 7-year personal loans provider
This card is a great contender for the 7-year personal loans lead yet is the relative newcomer on the block. This does not stop them from being very aggressive in Singapore these past few years. Although Bank of China $martLoan’s interest rates are on the high side, Bank of China is generally more lenient than most other banks in Singapore and have a lower minimum annual income.

Sign up for CreditAble in order to cash your credit line using the Maybank CreditAble Term Loan
Maybank does not exactly offer a proper personal loan in itself but its term loan is linked to its personal credit line product. You just need to sign up for CreditAble in order to cash your credit line using the Maybank CreditAble Term Loan but note the terms & conditions and annual fee however. In my personal opinion, the loan amount is small while the interest is high, so it may be best to avoid this one.

HSBC personal loan offers the longest loan tenure of 7 years in Singapore
If you need to borrow a large amount but cannot afford a big monthly repayment, then you should give consideration to the HSBC Personal Loan. This HSBC personal loan offers the longest loan tenure of 7 years in Singapore which means you’ll be paying 7 years’ worth of interest. HSBC is also great for those who need cash urgently as you can get approval-in-principle within one minute and receive the money the next working day. Isn’t that just wonderful?

The truth is you don’t. If companies cannot give dividends anymore, it may seem bad, but in bad times, this may also mean prudence in managing available funds. Also dividend is another portion of cash flow management. How companies manage dividends at various financial health is really up to the management decision as to whether to continue to give out dividends. What you can do as an investor is to check if the dividend is sustainable based on the following factors: Dividend Pay-out Ratio (Better to be less than 100%), FCF (Dividend pay-out must be less than FCF to be sustainable), Look at operating cash flow and amount paid to shareholders. If amount paid is more than operating cash flow, the dividend pay-out is unsustainable and unlikely to continue long. Past 5 year profits. Ideally, profits should be increasing year on year. This means that company is earning more and they are able to reward shareholders more. Lastly, past 5 year dividend yield/policy. Some companies have policies on the percentage of dividend yield. If dividend yield is very low/policy not present, it is possible for the company to pay low/no dividend.
