But, following a survey conducted by <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/investors.fico.com\/news-releases\/news-release-details\/fico-survey-rising-acceptance-liar-loans-among-malaysian\/#:~:text=The%20survey%20reveals%20that%20the%20majority%20of,loan%20applications%2C%20viewing%20it%20as%20never%20acceptable.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer dofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">FICO,<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> the nation is now known for being home to the rising threat of \u201cliar loans\u201d.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An alarming three in five Malaysians have the concerning sentiment that it is normal or acceptable in some cases to misrepresent their income when applying for a bank account (66%), mortgage (59%) or automotive financing (64%). On the contrary, the majority of consumers globally (56%) reject the idea of exaggerating their income on loan applications, viewing it as morally wrong.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the rising cost of living and much stricter loan regulations, it is unsurprising that many Malaysians may be tempted to stretch the truth and inflate their income or underreport debts just to apply for a loan. While lying on your loan application does offer a much easier and hassle-free approach, you risk far more than a loan rejection.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Let\u2019s set things straight: What constitutes a lie on a loan application?\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The easy answer is, if it\u2019s evidently backed, it\u2019s a lie. This includes any misstatement of fact (even if it was accidental), which can be considered a form of fraud. In Malaysia, some of the most common forms of dishonesty during loan application are:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Providing fake payslips and bank statements\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Falsifying employment information\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using a \u201cghost\u201d guarantor\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Overstating income<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>Never mind, they won\u2019t check in Malaysia lah! Malaysia boleh!\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s where you\u2019re wrong. Malaysian banks and financial institutions rarely take your word at face value and will conduct stringent checks before approving loans.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Income verification: Income slips, EPF statements, or even your latest income tax filings requested by lenders are one way for them to verify your income. If something seems suspicious, they can call your employer to confirm your income and employment.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CTOS\/CCRIS checks: The Central Credit Reference Information System (CCRIS) and private agencies like CTOS are just some of the systems set in place to help lenders access your credit history. The database contains all your past and current loans, payment behaviour and even rejected applications.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bank statement analysis: In today\u2019s cashless and digital economy, your bank account offers the most transparent and accurate depiction of your cash flow and spending habits. A mismatch will result in lenders being more careful about approving your loan\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In short, they will and can verify if you\u2019re accurately depicting your finances, so the best piece of advice? Just don\u2019t do it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Read More: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imoney.my\/articles\/best-personal-loan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Best Personal Loans In Malaysia<\/a><\/p>\n<h3><b>I did it anyway. I lied on my loan application. What happens if I get caught?\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Well, you\u2019re down for some serious legal trouble.\u00a0<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>1. Loan rejection or recall\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As painful as it is to receive the news that your loan has been rejected, this is easily one of the best outcomes from you lying on your application. However, this only happens if your lie is exposed before the loan is disbursed. If discovered after, you may either face the consequence of having your loan agreement cancelled, be demanded for immediate repayment or be penalised with legal and administrative fees.\u00a0<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>2. Blacklisting\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is one blacklist you do not want to be. Your name and records will be flagged in internal systems, which can severely limit your future access to financing, even if you\u2019re lending with other banks or financial institutions.\u00a0<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>3. Legal action and police action\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Submitting a falsified document or providing false information can lead to criminal charges under:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anti-Money Laundering and Anti-Terrorism Financing Act (AMLA)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Penal Code Sections 458 and 471, which can result in up to 7 years imprisonment and a fine\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Financial Services Act 2013 (FSA) can lead to heavy penalties and imprisonment\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>Sure or not? It\u2019s all just a scare tactic!\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2021, two men were fined <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailyexpress.com.my\/news\/172850\/fake-documents-two-men-fined-rm10-500-each\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer dofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RM10,500 each<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for using three fake statements as supporting documents to help another individual get quick bank approval for a loan. In recent years, Malaysian authorities have also cracked down on many similar syndicates that produce fake payslips and employment letters. Many have been either fined or served jail time under the Penal Code.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some applicants underestimate how detrimental their small lies can be and believe that a small misrepresentation won\u2019t matter. Actions like rounding up your income, hiding a side debt or even claiming you\u2019re a permanent employee instead of being contracted can affect a bank\u2019s risk assessment. Once discovered, these seemingly small lies can lead to you being seen as untrustworthy in the eyes of lenders.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>What should you do instead if you\u2019re struggling to get a loan approval?\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lying is never a smart solution. Here are some safer and smarter ways to increase your chances of getting your loan request approved.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><b>Improve your credit score: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clear any overdue payments or reduce your credit utilisation. Avoid applying for too many loans at once, too can also help to improve your credit score. A clean record will naturally increase your chances.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Ask for a more realistic amount: <\/b>Consider decreasing the amount of your loan request. Ask for a more realistic amount based on your income and commitments.<\/li>\n<li><b>Use licensed credit counsellors: <\/b>Agencies, including AKPK (Agensi Kaunseling dan Pengurusan Kredit), offer free financial advice and debt management to help improve your financial situation.<\/li>\n<li><b>Consider alternative lenders: <\/b>With more credit cooperatives and fintech lending platforms being established, it is now possible to consider alternative lenders. Furthermore, with the Bank Negara Malaysia licensing some of these platforms, it is now easier to choose credible lenders to approach.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><b>Final thoughts? Just don\u2019t do it!\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I can\u2019t say this enough. But there shouldn\u2019t be any situation where you should even consider lying in your loan application. Not only can it lead to rejection, it can also damage your credit profile, which makes it much harder for you to get another loan approval in the future.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re unsure about which bank loan you qualify for or need further guidance, iMoney\u2019s comparison tools and financial calculators help you find suitable options based on your financial situation, so you won\u2019t have to lie again!
