Which is better? personal loans or a credit card loan? The answer depends on your financial requirement, the time duration for which you require the loan, and how soon we require it. 

What Is A Credit Card Loan?

In a credit card loan, you can take a loan against the credit card limit you have been given. Once the bank approves your loan proposal, the limit will be credited to your account. The bank charges you an interest rate for the repayment of the loan, and you can repay the loan through EMIs. 

What Is A Personal Loan? 

A personal loan is an unsecured loan procured for different reasons, such as weddings, medical expenditures, debt consolidation, and so on. The interest charged is quite high as it is an unsecured loan and does not require collateral.
