They are essentially responsible for assuring the bank or financial institution that someone will repay the loan if the borrower disappears.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Specific to Malaysia, banks have the right to demand repayment from both the guarantor and borrower simultaneously. They are not obligated to pursue repayment from the borrower first before approaching the guarantor. However, banks will generally try their best to recover the loan from the borrower first.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who-can-be-a-guarantor\"><\/span>Who can be a guarantor?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Guarantors are generally divided into two types: social guarantors and non-social guarantors. A social guarantor typically takes on the responsibility without expecting any financial gain. They are often the family or friend of the borrower who wants to help them out in a non-profit context. They can be guarantors for an education loan, or personal car and housing loan. Under the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mdi.gov.my\/images\/documents\/Laws\/new\/Act360-Reprint2017.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Insolvency Act 1967 section 5(3)<\/a>, social guarantors will enjoy immunity from all creditors bankruptcy actions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand, non-social guarantors will guarantee a loan for a profit-driven reason. These will likely be related to a commercial or business loan. For example, if a company director personally guarantees a loan taken by the company, this falls in the category of non-social guarantor. The new Insolvency Act 1967 also provides non-social guarantors with additional protection. However, they do not enjoy immunity from bankruptcy actions taken by creditors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not everyone can be a loan guarantor. Banks and financial institutions will often have certain criteria that you must meet if you intend to become one. These can include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Must be 18-years old or above<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Must clearly understand their responsibilities<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Must voluntarily agree to the role without any form of pressure or deception<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Should not be in a state of bankruptcy<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why-would-you-need-a-loan-guarantor\"><\/span><b>Why would you need a loan guarantor<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are a few reasons as to why someone would need to get a loan guarantor:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>No credit history<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is much harder to obtain a loan if your credit history is lacking. This is especially common among younger individuals, especially those who come from overseas to work.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Recently started a new job<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bankers tend to prefer handing out loans to those with stable employment as it translates to stable income. This makes them less inclined to approve the loans of those who have recently changed jobs and don\u2019t have the prerequisite three months salary slip available yet.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Low income<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Individuals with low income may not be able to meet the requirements set by the bank or financial institution. A guarantor with higher and more stable income would be required under such circumstances.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Poor credit score<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">People with low credit scores are unlikely to get their loan application approved, as the banks cannot trust them with repaying their debts on time. A guarantor can help to alleviate some of the risks associated with approaching such loans.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Financial commitments<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Certain financial obligations such as renting properties, securing personal or business loans, financing a car, or obtaining a mortgage may require a guarantor. This is especially true if the loan amount is substantial.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Advantages-and-disadvantages-of-being-a-loan-guarantor\"><\/span><b>Advantages and disadvantages of being a loan guarantor<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<table id=\"tablepress-1916\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-1916\">\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"row-1\">\n\t<th class=\"column-1\">Advantages<\/th><th class=\"column-2\">Disadvantages<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody class=\"row-striping row-hover\">\n<tr class=\"row-2\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Helps borrowers obtain a loan by providing financial institutions with additional security.<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">The guarantor risks assuming debt responsibility should the borrower fail to repay what they owe on time.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-3\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Increased borrower\u2019s potential loan amount as a guarantor can affect how much a bank is willing to lend.<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">The guarantor\u2019s own credit score may take a hit should the borrower default.
