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.

A Foreigner Loan is a type of Personal Loan specifically designed for non-residents or expatriates living in Singapore.

The key difference between personal loans and foreigner loans lies in eligibility criteria and documentation. Personal loans for foreigners typically may offer specific terms to accommodate the unique circumstances of expatriates.

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

However, if your yearly income is above  SGD 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 licensed money lender can only charge a maximum late interest rate of 4% per month for each month the 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  SGD 10,000 and has repaid  SGD 6,000. Only the remaining  SGD 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. Money lenders cannot charge on amounts that are outstanding but not yet due to be repaid. For example, Mrs. B takes a loan of  SGD 10,000 and fails to pay for the first installment of  SGD 1,000.

Legal money lenders can only charge the late interest on  SGD 1,000 but not on the remaining  SGD 9,000 as it is not due yet.

Second, only the following fees can be charged:

• A fee not exceeding SGD60 for each month of late repayment;
• A processing 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.
