PERSONAL FINANCE
Making borrowing more inexpensive involves taking steps like raising your credit score and signing up for autopay.
There are benefits to borrowing money even if many individuals find the thought of debt to be intimidating. One way is that it can assist you in achieving your financial and personal objectives. A home loan can enable you to purchase a home even if you are unable to pay the whole amount upfront, such as if you want to buy a home but can't afford to spend Rs. 600,000. In the case of handling urgent financial needs, low-interest personal loans are considered to be the best. From financing your child’s wedding to booking a holiday, you can bankroll all your needs from personal loans.
Here are a few ways that can make the process easier and cheap to borrow money:
1. Improving credit score:
A credit score shows a person’s creditworthiness based on how one managed credit earlier. With a lower credit score, you'll probably be offered a higher interest rate when applying for any new line of credit or loan because the lender will view you as riskier, which will increase the cost of your borrowing money. You normally receive a cheaper interest rate with a higher credit score, making borrowing money more inexpensive. A score of over 700 or 750 makes you a good candidate for a personal loan, for example. (Also Read: Top 5 LIC policies to invest in 2023, from Jeevan Anand to Tech-Term, here's the full list)
If you don't need the money right away and have some time to improve your credit score, it's in your best interest to work on it before submitting your applications, even if there are many loan and credit products available that are geared toward persons with lower credit scores.
2. Look for different offers that give you seasonal benefits:
These days, it's usual for lenders and fintech companies to provide members or new borrowers with exclusive discounts in order to assist them to save money while applying for a loan. Frequently, the sole prerequisite is that you register for a membership or are already a client of the lender.
Customers are notified about special offers through SMS or emails. Keep a continuous check on them to make the loan affordable.
3. Don’t make late payments:
Most lenders will impose penalties for late or missed payments, which might end up being very expensive. These penalties can be either fixed sums of money or a percentage of the total amount you owe that month.
Additionally, missed payments might damage your credit score, which can increase the cost of taking out a loan or line of credit in the future. Setting up autopay is a practical technique to prevent unintentionally missing or making a late payment. Simply mark your calendar each month or set up notifications on your phone to remind you to pay before the due date approaches if you don't want to use the service.
4. Compare lenders to get the best offers:
To get an easy personal loan or home loan make sure you as a borrower do your own little research. Compare the lenders that are available in the market with the best interest rates and offers. It may take a while but will make you make the right choice.
