Payday Loan

A payday loan is a short-term loan available to any Singaporean employee or foreigner working in Singapore. An emergency could make it possible that you need additional funds to pay for an emergency utility bill, food expenses, or even rent.

With A1 Credit, employees and foreign workers do not have to wait until their next paycheck and suffer hunger, cut-off power, or threatened with eviction by their landlords when they have the option of utilizing payday loans with friendly rates and terms. The Ministry of Law fully regulates our activities and ensures we respect our borrowers’ rights to ensure fairness in all transactions.

It comes very often that online lenders get a bad reputation due to the fact that loan sharks take advantage of desperate borrowers in dire need of their salary amount in advance. Then, the fraudulent online payday loans and increase the interest rates or charge unfair penalty fees that trap the borrower and send them into deep, unmanageable debt. 

With the Ministry of Law regulating legitimate payday lender, employees have an opportunity to safely advance their salary without any unfair charges. Indeed, payday loans are legal.

A1 Credit’s unsecured payday loan is your safest bet when you’re in need of immediate cash.  With no collateral required, you can easily repay the loan within the month or on your next payday.

Remember to keep your wallet full and your debt low by remembering to pay on time. Late fees can pile up if you’re not careful about paying on time, so be sure to keep an eye out for when the payment’s due.

Here are some advantages of taking a payday loan in Singapore:

• Receive your loans immediately with a low-interest rate upon contract agreement
• Payday loans allow you to use the money as you see fit to cover all that unexpected expense
• You do not need to worry about your bad credit report
• Quick funds for emergencies

Just like any other loans, there’s some disadvantage of taking a payday loan in Singapore:

• Late repayment has the tendency to cause it to snowball into a massive amount that you may not be able to pay back due to interest rates
• Can significantly affect your credit score or credit history

The difference between a payday loan and a personal loan in Singapore is that payday loans are effectively short-term loans. A payday loan requires you to repay the lenders when you receive your next paycheck.

Meanwhile, a personal loan in Singapore has a longer loan repayment period due to the more considerable amount of loan you have taken out. With personal loans, you are allowed to borrow money up to six months’ worth of your salary and let you repay monthly until the personal loans’ amount is paid off.

Most money lenders including A1 Credit can only advance you one month’s salary when taking on a payday loan. You must repay these loans within your consecutive salary cut-off. You cannot get an advance higher amount than your regular monthly salary from a payday loan.

Thus, this loan service is excellent for those who need quick funds to tide them over to the next payday without having to worry about their inability to receive personal loans due to their bad credit score.

According to Singapore’s Ministry of Law, the maximum interest rate that moneylenders can charge is 4% per month. This cap applies regardless of the borrower’s income and whether the loan is an unsecured or secured one.

The licensed moneylenders accredited by the Registry of Moneylenders are obligated to adhere to all the established lending guidelines, interests, and service fees in order for them to operate. Here’s a list of legal fees that moneylenders can only charge to borrowers:

• 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.

Should a borrower fail to repay the loan on time by the due date, the maximum rate of late interest a moneylender can only charge is 4% per month for each month the loan is repaid late. Meanwhile, A1 Credit offers interest rates for a business loan ranging from at least 5% to 15% per month.

You may always loan up to six times your monthly income with an annual income above $24,000. Licensed money lenders in Singapore allow you to borrow much more above your income if you apply for a secured loan (with collateral).

The amount of money you can loan varies depending on the legal requirement and qualification of the loan. Here’s the list of loanable amount A1 Credit offers:

• Bridging Loan – SGD $5,000 to $200,000

• Business Loan – SGD $10,000 to $200,000

• Foreigner Loan – SGD $500 to $30,000

• Payday Loan – Up to one month worth of income

• Personal Loan – SGD $500 to $50,000
