Can I get a house loan if I recently got discharged from bankruptcy?

Hi, I recently got discharged from bankruptcy and I started a new business while also earning from my current employment. My income is steady and I thought of getting a housing loan but I fear that the finncial institutes will no approve it. Is it possible for me to obtain a housing loan even if I was recently discharged from bankruptcy?

    Most financial institutions would usually do a background check but there is no need to fear. If you just go discharged this year then it might be hard but it doesn't mean that you'll never be able to get a housing loan. Financial institutions will consider approving your housing loan but you wil need to be discharged from bankruptcy for at least a year or two.

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

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.

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.
