Rest assured that there are no hidden charges being imposed by 1 Fullerton Credit. We take honesty and transparency seriously and discuss all the fees regarding the personal loans before you sign the contract.

You must only do business with a licensed moneylender. That said, you must first verify whether they are registered on the Ministry of Law’s website.

Even if they are licensed, you must still be cautious. Watch out for these red flags:

• Asks for your SingPass user ID and/or password
• Fails to return your NRIC card or any other personal identification documents
• Asks you to sign a blank or incomplete loan contract
• Fails to provide a clear and thorough explanation of the terms and conditions of the loan.
• Grants you a loan without evaluating your loan application.
• Grants you a loan through phone, email, or SMS before receiving your loan application form and required documents
• Withholds any part of your principal loan amount

It’s best to seek clarification on the loan offer and its terms before signing any contract. We are happy to explain the loan terms and conditions so you know exactly what you’re getting into. That said, do not rely solely on the information provided in an advertisement by a moneylender.

A few things to remember:

• Licensed moneylenders are prohibited to advertise their services through unofficial channels like SMS, WhatsApp, or social media. 
• They can only promote their loan services through business and consumer directories, their own websites, and place ads within and on the exterior of their office.

• You must know your responsibility as a surety
• Understand the terms and conditions of the loan. Ask the moneylender to explain it in a language you understand
• Get a copy of the loan contract as soon as the loan is granted to the borrower
• Remember, the moneylender must not retain your NRIC card or any other personal identification documents
• Licensed moneylenders will not ask for information such as the password for your user account

All moneylenders are only permitted to impose the following charges and expenses:

• Interest rates up to 4%
• A fee not exceeding $60 for each month of late repayment of the loan amount;
• A fee not exceeding 10% of the principal of the loan when a loan is granted; and 
• Legal costs ordered by the court for a successful claim by the moneylender for the recovery of the loan.

To get the best personal loan rates in Singapore, you may check personal loan comparison sites online to weigh in your options. 

Please note that the interest rates depend on the loan plan you are applying for. Compared to unsecured loans, secured loans will have lower interest rates and can offer you a higher amount of money. 

Having collateral such as properties, real estate, bonds, collections and other items and objects of value can also help you lower your personal loans interest rates.

1 Fullerton Credit offers the lowest possible interest rates, in accordance with the Ministry of Law, ensuring you that we practice legal lending and help our clients also practice responsible borrowing by helping you manage the best loan plans suitable for your objectives, budget, and repayment capability.

The key differences between a personal loan and a payday loan are the loan amount you can borrow and the tenure payment plan.

A personal loan allows you to borrow up to six months’ worth of your salary and lets you pay monthly until the personal loan amount is paid off.

Just like how credit cards work, the monthly payment depends on the terms and conditions of your personal loan contract, interest rate, monthly salary, processing fees, and personal loans repayment capabilities.

On the other hand, a payday loan allows you to borrow up to one month’s worth of your salary or income and loans must be paid back in less than a month. 

Rest assured that there are no hidden charges and we offer low-interest rates on loans, this is being imposed by 1 Fullerton Credit. We take honesty and transparency seriously and discuss all the fees before you sign the loan contract.

Yes, your borrowing limit may differ from one another. Banks in Singapore can allow you to borrow a bigger loan amount for a much longer tenure with a different interest rate, but the process of releasing the money takes time. 1 Fullerton Credit, on the other hand, can give you the loan amount, usually, in just only an hour with a much easier loan application process, with a low interest rate and upfront processing fees and no hidden charges.

Yes, you can. Although you can apply for more than one loan, your application will still be subject to evaluation to ensure that you don’t overborrow a personal loan and suffer from financial difficulties. 

Take note that, unlike banks, 1 Fullerton Credit does not solely rely on credit scores when approving your personal loans.

What we look for are the following but not limited to:

• Ability to repay the personal loan
• Certificate of employment
• Proof of income
• Other identification papers

Aside from 1 Fullerton Credit’s fuss-free application process and excellent customer service, we also take pride in our comprehensive personal loan plan for your immediate financial needs. Among the key advantages are:

• Low interest rates from 1 to 4% only 
• Flexible payment terms
• Unsecured loan – No collateral/pledging of assets needed
• Borrow up to 6 times worth of monthly income with a low-interest rate

Yes. Depending on your circumstances, a personal loan may be the best option for financing your vehicle purchase. It’s advisable as you can receive the money within a few days and aren’t required to find the vehicle you plan on buying first. There is also no collateral needed.

However, since there’s no collateral for personal loan lenders to fall back on, they typically charge higher interest rates than auto loan lenders. There’s also less time to repay.

There are different types of personal loans: Personal Instalment Loan, Line of Credit, Funds Transfer or Balance Transfer and Debt Consolidation Plan. 

Personal Instalment Loan – This can be used by Singaporeans and permanent residents in the area. This involves borrowing a specific sum, paying a 1-time processing fee and agreeing to repay the amount in fixed monthly repayment. The loan interest and fees are calculated for the whole loan tenure and added to the total loan amount. 

Foreigners can also apply for it, but the conditions require an employment pass of 1-year validity, and 3 months’ payslips to generate your annual income.

Line of Credit – is an overdraft facility that only charges interest when you withdraw from the account. Once approved, the funds can be withdrawn via ATM, cheque, internet banking or by going to a physical bank branch. You are charged loan interest the moment you draw funds. No loan interest is charged, when you repay the funds.

It typically has an annual fee ranging from $60 to $120. While its interest rates are generally between 18% to 22% p.a, before any promotional offer. This is deemed useful as a standby cash fund for unexpected expenses. If you need funds for an emergency, you can withdraw cash instantly without any approval process but only when necessary. 

Fund Transfer – This loan uses the available credit on your card. You pay a 1-time processing fee and enjoy a very low interest or 0% rate for between 3 to 12 months. You either settle the total amount outstanding or you end up being charged interest rates between 18% to 29% right after, depending on the credit facility the funds were drawn down from.

Banks normally charge a 1-time processing fee of between 1% to 5% on your approved loan amount. The best balance transfer offers will waive this processing fee. Balance transfers are ideal should you need cash urgently, or have a big, short-term expense on the horizon and want to avoid high-interest rates on other types of loan facilities. 

Debt Consolidation Plan – This loan is a government-approved scheme available with all leading banks in Singapore. It brings together all your open unsecured credit under 1 easier repayment and debt management. 

There will be a 1-time processing fee. Depending on the bank and promotional rates, the Effective Interest Rate is typically between 6.7% to 12% p.a. This is commonly used by those who are having trouble keeping up with loan repayments and have a rough guide being 12x monthly salary.

Credit card – This allows you to make purchases and pay back what you owe little by little over time or all at once. If you repay your balance in full within a month, you’ll avoid interest charges.

Payday Loan – This is a short-term, high-cost loan that gives you money that you need until you receive your next paycheck. 

Personal line of credit –  Similarly to a credit card; you don’t follow a set payoff schedule for your debt, and you can tap your credit line on an as-needed basis. Personal lines of credit can come with lower interest rates than credit cards, however.

Peer-to-peer (P2P) – These loans are like personal loans, except they are funded by individual investors rather than a single lending institution.

Home equity loan – This is a second mortgage that gives you a lump-sum amount of money that is repaid on a set schedule. The amount you can borrow is determined by the amount of equity you have in your home, and terms range from five to 15 years.

Small business loan – A business loan can help keep your personal finances separate from your business expenses. These also tend to have lower interest rates than personal loans.
