Frequently asked questions about loan types
What loan types are covered?
This page helps you understand common personal loan comparisons and how repayment structure changes the cost.
Which loan is cheapest?
That depends on your profile and the lender. Always compare the full repayment amount and not just the headline rate.
Should I choose a longer term?
A longer term can reduce the instalment, but it may increase the total cost over time.
How do I decide?
Match the loan type to the purpose, then compare affordability and lender terms carefully.
Reminder
The best loan type depends on your purpose, cash flow, and repayment comfort. Read the lender’s terms before you commit.
