WHAT DETERMINES LOAN ELIGIBILITY?
Income and Job Stability
Your monthly income, how long you've been employed, and your industry all affect how lenders see your ability to repay.
Debt-to-Income Ratio
If you're already repaying other loans or using a big chunk of your income on debt, banks may see you as over-leveraged.
Credit History and Score
Late payments, loan defaults, or even multiple applications can hurt your standing, but it’s not permanent. Different banks and loan providers can have varying criteria for approvals
Loan Tenure and Amount
The bigger the loan or the longer the tenure, the more cautious banks will be.
HOW TO BOOST LOAN APPROVAL ODDS
Small changes can make a big difference in how banks view your application. Here’s what you can start doing today.
Pay Down Credit Cards and Debt
Lower your credit utilisation to show you're managing debt well.
Organise Your Documents
Payslips, CPF contributions, and employment proof can help speed up the approval process.
Avoid Applying Everywhere at Once
Too many recent applications indicates risk, and can compromise your loan approval or interest rates, even if you're eligible.
Understand the Best Time to Apply
Applying right after a job switch or during unstable income periods may reduce approval chances.
