Would it be legal to get a loan and then use it as a lending money thing?

I cannot think of any other job I can do while inside the house and I thought that it was a good idea to get a loan and then use it as a lending money to others that will give me interest. But what bothers me is if it was legal to loan and then use it as sideline work while I am at home. Since I do not want to be sued, I want to know some details about it.

    It was technically legal because you will be the one to handle the money that you have loaned which means that you can do whatever you want to do with the money that is loaned. Just make sure that no law will be violated, specifically the loan shark law which is asking for an interest that is greater than 15% of the other loans. If this law has been violated, all the charges will be refunded and it will just bring hassle.

A great contender for the 7-year personal loans provider

This card is a great contender for the 7-year personal loans lead yet is the relative newcomer on the block. This does not stop them from being very aggressive in Singapore these past few years. Although Bank of China $martLoan’s interest rates are on the high side, Bank of China is generally more lenient than most other banks in Singapore and have a lower minimum annual income.

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.).
