Foreigner Loan

Foreigner loans are also known as a personal loan in Singapore. They are loans for foreigners who are working in the country who need immediate financial assistance. In essence, the foreigner loan in Singapore must be repaid back with a scheduled payment, alongside the interest rates added to the principal amount owed until it is repaid in full.

As foreigners in Singapore applying for foreigner loans, it is crucial to know what they are going to use the money for, how much they are planning to borrow, and what is the possible interest rates foreigners are likely to be charged for. Foreigners living in Singapore must also consider if the amount that they are going to apply is going to be sufficient to cover their financial obligations.

In addition, foreigners’ annual income plays a role in how much they can borrow. If they do not earn more than $24,000 a year, we would be unable to lend a larger amount. These are all things that expatriates need to consider when taking out Singapore foreigner loans.

If you are uncertain of anything, you should speak to our loan officers who would be able to help you figure out your financial standing and you may also ask any questions related to foreigners loan in Singapore.

A foreigner can take out a loan in Singapore of any amount with secured loans and collateral. The collateral will serve as a guarantee in the event that you are unable to pay off the money.

For unsecured loans, if your yearly income is less than $10,000, the maximum amount that 365 Credit Solutions will be able to loan is only $500. If your yearly income is above $10,000 but less than $20,000, 365 Credit Solutions can offer a maximum loan amount of $3,000.

However, if your yearly income is above $20,000, 365 Credit Solutions can offer you up to 6 times of your monthly income.

All licensed moneylenders can only charge a maximum interest rate of 4% per month for personal loans. The maximum interest rate for a loan for a foreigner in Singapore applies regardless if the personal loan is secured or unsecured.

In addition, a lender can also only charge a maximum late interest rate of 4% per month for each month the foreigner or personal loan is repaid late. The interest can only be charged based on the principal remaining after deducting the original payments made.

For example; Mr. A borrowed $10,000 and has repaid $6,000. Only the remaining $4,000 can be taken into account for the computation of interest.

Also, the late interest can only be charged on an amount that is repaid late. The moneylender cannot charge on amounts that are outstanding but not yet due to be repaid. For example, Mrs. B takes a loan of $10,000 and fails to pay for the first installment of $1,000.

The lender can only charge the late interest on $1,000 but not on the remaining $9,000 as it is not due yet.

Second, only the following fees can be charged:

• A fee not exceeding $60 for each month of late repayment;
• 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

The total financial charges imposed by a money lender on the interest, late interest, upfront administrative and late fee cannot exceed an amount equivalent to the principal of the loans.
