Common questions on
loan balance transfer.
Is a balance transfer always beneficial?+
Not necessarily — it depends on your existing terms, the new offer and associated charges. We help you evaluate this rather than assume it's the right move.
Are there charges for foreclosing my existing loan?+
This depends on your original loan agreement and loan type; floating-rate loans often have fewer restrictions than fixed-rate ones.
Can I get a top-up during a transfer?+
Some lenders allow a top-up as part of the transfer, subject to eligibility and their internal policy.
How long does a transfer usually take?+
Timelines vary based on documentation, property/asset verification and both lenders' internal processes.
