If you are planning to get a personal loan, one key factor to keep in mind is the interest rate. The interest rate is the cost of borrowing money, expressed as a percentage of the total amount of the loan. A low interest rate will signify a low cost of borrowing, whereas a high interest rate would have a higher cost of borrowing. Therefore, borrowers mostly look for lenders providing low interest rates.
There are several factors that determine the interest rate on a personal loan.
- Employment and income: A stable employment status with a steady income assures the lender of your ability to repay the loan. They might offer a low interest rate when you have a stable source of income.
- Credit history: Lenders take into account your credit history to approve your loan. A good credit history will symbolise your repayment capacity. Lenders might charge low interest rates after the ability to repay your debt on time.
- Lender: Personal loan interest rate will depend on your relationship with the lender. If you have a reputation of paying dues on time, the lender will offer low interest rates and favorable repayment terms.
