A personal loan provides you with a lump sum of money that you repay with interest over a set period. You'll make regular monthly repayments until the loan is fully repaid.
When it comes to how long it takes to get a personal loan, approval and disbursement time can vary between lenders. Some lenders offer same-day or next-day approval and disbursement, while others may take a few days to process your application. However, before taking on a loan, it is important to know if you’re eligible. Pre-qualify with SingSaver to save time and avoid applying for loans you’re unlikely to get.
Yes, foreigners can apply for personal loans in Singapore, but they may have to meet additional eligibility criteria, such as having a valid work pass and a minimum income.
Different banks have different eligibility criteria for personal loans. Some banks may have more lenient requirements than others. However, as a general rule of thumb, banks require a minimum annual income of S$30,000 for Singaporean citizens. Online lenders may also have more flexible criteria compared to traditional banks.
Taking out a personal loan can affect your credit score in both positive and negative ways. Making timely repayments can improve your credit score, while late payments or defaulting on the loan can negatively impact your score.
SingSaver partners directly with banks and licensed lenders, using proprietary comparison tech to scan real-time offers — so you always see the lowest available rates, all in one place.
No, checking rates on SingSaver won’t affect your credit score — it’s a soft inquiry, so you can compare offers freely without any impact.

The advertised interest rate shows the base cost of the loan, but the Effective Interest Rate (EIR) includes fees and reflects the true yearly cost — making EIR the better figure for comparing loan offers.
