Can I use my credit card for a medical procedure?

My sister needs to have an operation as soon as possible the doctor told us. Our parents do not have enough money to pay for the bills, even I do not have enough saving to pay for the operation fee that she will be undergoing. I only have credit card with me. Can I use this for the bills and fees? Can the government help us?

    We sometimes encounter and expected event in our lives like accidents, bonuses and other more. Some people does not expect an emergency ahead of them. If they are in an accident and need to pay some fees, you can pay them via cash. If you do not have cash or cannot pay them with your savings. You can pay them through credit card. Singapore Government is committed to keep healthcare affordable and to help needy patients with their medical bills.

Lowest rates for new and used car loans in Singapore

DBS charges interest rate of 2.28% for its car loans to individuals that apply online and that is the lowest rate offered for both new and used car loans in Singapore. In my opinion this makes DBS the most affordable option for those that require financing in order to purchase a vehicle. It is also worth noting that DBS is currently offering an even lower rate for the purchase of used cars (1.99% p.a.) in a promotion.

This may be the cheapest car loan refinancing option in Singapore

This may be the cheapest car loan refinancing option in Singapore as the bank allows borrowers to refinance their existing car loans for a very competitive rate of 2.08%, which is much cheaper than most rates for new loans. While the bank also offers loans for the purchase of new and used vehicles, these rates of 2.78% and 2.98% are not the cheapest available. If you are approved to refinance your existing car loan from another bank, you may be able to save thousands of dollars by switching to OCBC due to its refinance rate of 2.08%, which is significantly cheaper than those of most car loans offered by lenders in Singapore.
