A personal loan is a set amount of money borrowed from a lender and repaid over a fixed term with interest. It can cover various expenses, such as consolidating debt, funding home repairs, covering medical bills, or financing major purchases.
Loan terms typically range from one to seven years, with repayments made in fixed monthly instalments.
There are two types of personal loans: secured and unsecured. Secured loans require collateral, such as a vehicle or savings account, while unsecured loans are approved based on creditworthiness.
Lenders consider factors such as income, credit score, and debt-to-income ratio to determine loan eligibility and interest rates.
Personal loans provide flexibility in how funds are used and can help manage both planned and unforeseen financial obligations effectively.
Borrowers apply for a loan, specifying the amount needed and providing necessary documentation.
The lender reviews income, credit history, and overall financial stability to assess eligibility.
Approved borrowers receive the loan amount in a lump sum.
The borrower repays the loan in fixed monthly instalments over the agreed term until the balance is cleared.
