Getting personal loans in Singapore is easy as long as you meet the qualifying criteria.

Of all the questions we get about personal loans in Singapore, the most popular one has to do with eligibility. Many Singaporeans and permanent residents aren't aware of how easy the application process is.

In general, you can get a loan in Singapore if you are a Singaporean or Permanent resident earning more than S$2,000 per month (S$24,000 per year).

However, the higher your annual income, the more you qualify for lower interest rates. For customers with an annual income of S$30,000 and above, OCBC ExtraCash Loan offers the lowest interest personal loans in Singapore if you apply through SingSaver.com.sg.

Make sure to prepare the necessary documents for a smooth application process.

And that's it! With everything ready, you can get your loan as fast as an hour.
