Getting a personal loan to buy property, pay for your child’s education or manage an unplanned expense is a serious decision to make. With many options available, it’s important to do diligent research to find a loan that suits your needs.
Here’s a guide on the steps to take if you want to get a personal loan:
How much do you need to borrow?
Before taking a loan, make sure you understand your finances to know the exact amount you will need to borrow. Sometimes a loan offer may seem generous, but if you borrow more than you need, you may soon find yourself unable to manage your expenses. As per the Central Bank of UAE regulations, your total monthly repayment towards debts should not exceed 50% of your monthly salary. For example, if your monthly salary is AED 10,000, you have one credit card with a limit of AED 20,000 and one loan with monthly instalment of AED 1000, then your total monthly repayment towards debts is AED 2,000 (5% of your credit card limit + loan monthly instalment amount). This means, any additional loan/credit card you take, cannot have a monthly repayment of more than AED 3,000.
What type of personal loan is best for you?
Do some research to understand whether a loan with or without salary transfer is best for you. If you take a salary transfer loan, you need to ensure that you receive your monthly salary in the bank from where you are taking the loan. In this type of loan, your monthly instalment will first be deducted from your salary and then the remaining amount will be credited to your bank account.
If you would prefer to have flexibility on how you pay your monthly instalments or do not want to move your bank account to another bank just to get a personal loan, you can opt for a non-salary transfer loan.
Shortlist your preferred loan providers
Once you decide on the type of loan, make a list of the financial institutions that offer these loans after understanding the interest rate, loan tenor, maximum loan amount, time to process the loan application and any other charges such as processing fees.
Ensure your monthly instalment is affordable
Before you take a loan, make sure you understand the monthly instalment amount you will need to pay. The monthly instalment amount depends on the loan amount, tenor and interest rate. As per the Central Bank of UAE regulations, your total monthly repayment towards debts should not exceed 50% of your monthly salary.
Apply for the loan
Most financial institutions have an online application form where you can leave your contact details and request for a call back. However, it often takes a few days to apply and find out if you have been approved for a loan. To find out if you are approved, you also need to submit documents and fill out a detailed application form. When you apply for a Personal Loan from Deem, you can find out if you qualify for a loan without submitting any paperwork. All you need to do is fill out your personal, identification and employment information and immediately.
The criteria is also pretty simple! If you have a minimum monthly salary of AED5,000 that you receive in your bank account you can apply online to find out if you qualify for a loan.
Submit documents
The final step for getting a loan is submitting documents. Documents for a personal loan usually include a copy of your Emirates ID and Passport to verify your identity and bank statements, salary certificate/pay slips to verify your employment and monthly income.
You also need to sign your loan application form and some providers require a security cheque. If you are applying for a loan that does not require a salary transfer, you can set up automatic monthly payments from the bank account where you receive your monthly salary by signing a Direct Debit Authorization Form.
Once you qualify for a Deem Personal Loan, a sales representative will call you to assist you with document upload and final signatures required to process your loan.
