Buying a car

We are a newly wed couple and we wanted to buy a car. My uncle was selling his car because he desperately needs money. Since it was very affordable for that high quality car, we decided to take a loan and buy the car to my uncle.The loan will be done after five years which is a very long time.We felt like we can pay for it and not be that hurtful when paying.

    Loans are known to be cheap and has low interest rate compared to those credit cards. It is useful at times like this because they can be short-term or long-term loans. Personal loans are nice because the better credit score you get, the higher the annual income. Thus, they will offer you loans which is more affordable for you.

    I took a two-wheeler loan from Shriram city and buy my personal bike. loans are such a headache but if your loan provider charges low interest then people easily tolerate it.

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.
