Before you begin your application, you must verify your car loan eligibility, have a good credit score and prepare the documents you’ll require.
Car Loan Requirements
To apply, you’ll need to meet the requirements:
• Applicant is at least 21 years old
• Singaporeans and Permanent Residents with a minimum monthly income of S$2,000 / Foreigner with a minimum monthly income of S$4,000
Good Credit Score
The Credit Bureau Singapore (CBS) gathers and compiles information to provide financial institutions and car dealers an overall credit risk profile of the borrowers. Financial institutions and car dealers will look at your credit report to decide whether they will lend to you and the price / interest at which they will lend to you.
So it is very important to make sure to have a good credit history!. Hurting your score is a red flag for approvers and will affect you from getting your auto loan and other important loans in the future.
Here are some tips on how you can improve your credit score:
• Make sure to pay your bills on time
• If possible, do not close your unused credit card/s. This might affect your credit utilization rating.
• Flag out any credit report errors early
Required Documents for Car Loan
