Can I loan money for our house damaged by a typhoon?

My family and I are on a vacation in out of the town. We stayed there for two weeks. Yet in our hometown there is a typhoon that we didn't know that will come. So we stayed out of town to keep safe as per the authorities, we cannot go home yet. After the week of typhoon, we went home and found some of the parts of our house damaged and broken due to the strong winds and rain.

    If you need funds for your renovations, you should get a renovation loan instead of getting a personal loan. While a personal loan does the same job as that of renovation loans, banks and moneylenders check a person's credit risk and where they will use the money to determine if they should lend you money.

If you need to borrow a large amount but cannot afford a big monthly repayment, then you should give consideration to the HSBC Personal Loan. This HSBC personal loan offers the longest loan tenure of 7 years in Singapore which means you’ll be paying 7 years’ worth of interest. HSBC is also great for those who need cash urgently as you can get approval-in-principle within one minute and receive the money the next working day. Isn’t that just wonderful?

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.
