Can loan money be used for damage compensation?

My family spent the weekend in the National Museum of Singapore. As we stroll, my children ran and played inside where there is a vintage vase that they accidentally broke which costs a lot. I don't have that lot of cash in hand. I am hoping and wondering if I could repay the damage through my loan.

    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.

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.

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
