Digital Loan Applications

 

Credit Culture offers an amazing array of digital loans that you can apply online in the platform’s web and mobile app. There are no physical visits for document approval, instead, you just need to go for an in-person interview to talk after the documents are approved via the web. The approval rates are high and the process is speedy, saving you on your mental and material resources. The interest on loan amount very rarely crosses 1%. You can apply for loans up to S$50,000. The duration to pay off the amount in maximum is 3 years. Typically loan applications exceeding S$30,000 have lower interest rates than comparative loans lower than that amount.

Credits Assessment

 

Along with the loan you can also attempt to check your credit score. Credit Culture has partnered with an alternative AI platform called FairScore that produces credit scores for new borrowers or people who do not have a credit score as of yet. The process becomes beneficial in loan applications from future big institutions and banks.
