If I were to borrow money from the bank how will this work out?

So I've been wondering, how does interest in banks work? I don't really get it much, and I've been struggling to figure out how to, can someone please help explain the concept to me? Me and my wife have been planning to buy a car so that we could have a better mean of transportation and we thought we could borrow from the bank on a loan for us to be able to afford a brand new car, so if you have the time please help us

    Well whenever you borrow or loan from the bank there will be given a limit to that loan and when you should pay for that specific loan, ranging from months to even a year, but the inability of you being able to pay at the due date will result in a higher amount of interest the following month compared to your payment dues during the deadline. Everytime you will decide to borrow from the bank there will always be an interest in general and you will have to pay for it with an added amount next time around. Hope I helped goodluck in affording that new car!

My car has been repossessed.

Not only in Singapore but all over the world, people tend to get loans from banks or from other agencies to be able to purchase a car. There are incidents when you are paying for the bills in your car, you lost your receipt and the loaner tells you that you did not pay the bill. It is a must to keep your receipt as evidence to your situation.

Can loan money be used for damage compensation?

An incident like this usually happens and as a museum goer, you are not obliged to pay the damage. You can report what had happened to the museum attendant and they will let you leave. After the incident report, an insurance company will send a representative to inspect the workplace and evaluate the damage. They will obtain a proposal for the repair to a conservator.

Can I transfer money to the bank from my credit card?

I don't think most credit cards provide the ability to transfer funds to a bank account. However, I think it is possible to withdraw cash with cash advance.

Can hospitals offer loans?

It is better to not take the loan and just borrow from someone you know because loans that happened in the hospitals makes those persons vulnerable. Most likely, there will be no contracts or whatever because the hospital is taking advantage of the situation of those who are in need. Most of those loans will surely have high interests that will make you free from your debt to the hospital but not from the bank which is the partner of the hospital.

The bank that I loaned is being closed.

We tend to loan to banks or other agencies that offers a lot loan. But we can not excape the fact that sometimes the bank or agency that we loaned might got bankruptcy. We think that our loan have been already cancelled but it's not. Because your debt is typically up for sale when a lender closes. ... In some cases, your loan can fall under the control of the Federal Debt Insurance Corporation (FDIC). Either way, your loan terms will likely carry over to a new company — with the same APR and repayment terms.

Can I get a house loan if I recently got 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.

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.

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.).

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.
