Personal loan is an unsecured loan which does not require collateral of any form.

These loans are extended to the applicant based on the individuals ability to repay, this is assessed by the applicant’s credibility. There is a credit score which can be generated for every individual, this is the indicator of applicant’s credibility. A credit score of 750 is generally considered decent enough for personal loan to be extended. Typically, the tenure for personal loans are lower compared to other types of loan. This is due to the fact that these loans are higher risk. These loans are also called as signature loans or multi-purpose loan. If the borrower needs the money for multiple needs, then it is wise to avail personal loan.
