Four factors that affect your personal loan interest rate

Unlike financial products such as home loans, the interest rate for a personal loan varies for each borrower.

Personal loans have fluctuating interest rates starting from 10% p.a. onwards, depending on how well you meet the eligibility criteria. If you plan to apply for a personal loan, you must understand the factors that determine your interest rate.

Keep the following things in mind to get affordable interest rates on your personal loan:
 

✅ Check your pre-approved loan offer with phone number and OTP → Apply online in 5 minutes → Receive funds within a day*.

Your credit score acts as a validation of how you have performed with respect to the payments of previous loans and credit cards.

Each timely payment made against your previous loan adds to your credit score. However, late payments or defaults can bring it down. Your CIBIL score ranges between 300 and 900. A score of 650 or higher is considered healthy. If you have an impressive credit score, your lender will likely offer you better terms on your loan and vice versa.

Lenders prefer borrowers with higher monthly income as they are more likely to repay the loan on time. A higher income implies higher affordability for the loan.
