                                                                                    Your short-term money needs can be met by applying for a personal loan. Get relieved off the stress occasioned by urgent needs in times when you are hard up. This could help in scenarios when you want to acquire new furniture or when you have run short of funds for your honeymoon or wedding. This is highly convenient and it is a quick option for those who are in dire need of funds to rescue themselves from sudden money deficits or even the acquisition of a property that has been desired for long at the cost of an arm and a leg.

                                                                                    • A personal loan is an unsecured loan you borrow from a bank. This means that you can borrow money from the bank without the bank asking for any collateral. However, you should still repay your personal loan on time to avoid late penalty charges or negative impact on your credit score. 

                                                                                      A personal loan has a shorter repayment period compared to home loans. You are usually expected to fully repay your personal loan within 10 years. 

                                                                                      Also, unlike home or car loans, you can get a personal loan without any specific purposes. You can get it for home improvements, start a business or even for medical emergencies. However, we do not recommend getting a personal loan without careful consideration.

                                                                                    • There are two types of personal loans available: secured and unsecured loans.

                                                                                      What are secured loans? 

                                                                                      Secured loans are where you are required to offer an asset (e.g. car, house) as collateral in case you cannot repay your loan. 

                                                                                      This means that the lender has a legal right to seize the asset you listed in the event you cannot repay your loan within the agreed repayment terms.

                                                                                      Bigger loans like home loans may also require you to list a guarantor in case you fail to repay your loan.

                                                                                      What are unsecured loans?

                                                                                      Unsecured loans are loans where the lenders are not required to list any asset as a collateral. Instead, they will assess you’re your creditworthiness based on the following criteria among other factors before they decide if they want to lend you the money:  

                                                                                      • Your employment status 
                                                                                      • Your proof of income (at least 6 months)
                                                                                      • Your credit score 

                                                                                      These criteria will also determine how much you can borrow, your personal loan terms and interest rate. You can read about the types of personal loans and interest rates for more information.

                                                                                    • Firstly, let’s find out what is a conventional loan: 

                                                                                      A conventional loan follows conventional financing principles where lenders lend money to customers like you and earn profit from the interest you paid on your loan every month.

                                                                                      What is an Islamic financing?

                                                                                      An Islamic financing follows Shariah financing principles which prohibits Riba (interest-based transactions). Instead, it is based on the concept of earning through the sale of commodities which looks like this:

                                                                                      • Deferred Payment: where you will repay the Bank of the Item's Selling Price on deferred basis through monthly payments.

                                                                                      To find out more, you can read our article about Islamic property financing.

                                                                                      • To better manage your debts through consolidation

                                                                                        If you currently have a few outstanding debts – like other personal loans and credit card balances – consolidating your debts into one lower-interest personal loan will help you better manage your debts. Not only will you be able to lower your overall interest payments and fix a monthly repayment, you will also find it easier to manage just one repayment instead of multiple.

                                                                                      • To improve your credit score

                                                                                        Taking a personal loan and refinancing it on time shows a bank that you can be trusted with credit (a.k.a borrowed money). A good way to do so is to take a low-interest personal loan to pay off your credit card balance – this does not just save you money but can also improve your credit score if you make your repayments on time!

                                                                                      • To pay for a medical emergency

                                                                                        Your physical health should always be prioritized over your financial health. If you or your loved one does not have medical insurance when hit by an unexpected health emergency, taking a personal loan is one of the easiest solutions to access the medical treatment needed.

                                                                                      Get more insight as you read our article about the right reasons to take a personal loan.

The highest loan amount you can borrow through a personal loan in Malaysia is RM200,000, depending on the financial institutions. However, your salary also plays a part in determining the loan amount that you qualify for. As a rule of thumb, a borrower can typically borrow up to four times his/her monthly salary. Use our personal loan calculator to compare and apply for the personal loan which fits your needs and eligibility.

                                                                                    • In general, there are three basic requirements for applying for a personal loan in Malaysia. These are:

                                                                                      1. You must be between the ages of 18 and 65 years old.
                                                                                      2. You must be a Malaysian citizen (some banks will make an exception if you apply in person).
                                                                                      3. You must not be bankrupt.

                                                                                    • The minimum salary requirement for a personal loan is determined by the lender and amount that you are looking to borrow. In general, you should have a salary of at least RM2,000 per month before applying for a personal loan.

                                                                                    • You need to be at least 18 years old and below 60 years old. The age requirement may differ slightly from financial institution to financial institution. Use our personal loan calculator above to find which financial institution offers a personal loan that you are eligible for.

                                                                                    • The documents needed to apply for a personal loan are:

                                                                                      • A copy of your NRIC
                                                                                      • Your salary slip
                                                                                      • Your EPF statement

                                                                                      You may also need other documents depending on your income status (salaried/self employed/commission).

                                                                                    • The interest rate of a personal loan depends on several factors including your income, employment status, and credit score. Use our personal loan calculator to find the personal loan that best fits your needs and eligibility.

                                                                                    • Flat Interest Rate Effective Interest Rate
                                                                                      Interest payments are based on the initial original principal amount. Interest payments are based on the remaining outstanding principal, and are recalculated at the end of each month.
                                                                                      You end up paying the same amount each month during the tenure of the loan. The amount you pay each month decreases across the tenure of the loan.

                                                                                    • Interest rates are determined by lenders based on their Base Rate (BR) plus their declared margin. This number is called the Effective Lending Rate (ELR). For example, Maybank has a BR of 1.75% plus a margin of 1.50%; this means the interest rate that you are charged is 3.25%.

                                                                                      Interest rates are expressed as Annual Percentage Rates (APR). This means that the interest is calculated for the whole year instead of a monthly basis. To get the monthly interest rate, just divide the APR by 12 months.
