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.

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.

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.

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.
