Financial urgency has the nature of arriving at the most unexpected times – whether it’s an unforeseen expense or a last-minute trip. In such moments, selecting the right type of loan becomes essential.
Two popular terms you may have come across are quick loans and express loans. While both serve similar purposes, there are a few differences in terms of the loan amount, the repayment tenures, and so on.
In this article, we’ll delve into the differences between quick loans and express loans to help you make an informed decision.
A quick loan can be considered a type of personal loan that offers smaller loan amounts, ideal for minor emergencies such as immediate medical bills or small-scale home repairs.
The key features of quick loans include:
Please note that the exact loan amount, tenure, and disbursal time are subject to lender policies.
Now, how do express loans work? An express loan is another type of personal loan that provides access to a larger loan amount with speedy processing (subject to eligibility and document verification). These loans are suitable for more significant financial needs such as major home renovations, wedding expenses, higher education, and similar big-ticket costs.
The key features of quick loans include:
Please note that the exact loan amount, tenure, and disbursal time are subject to lender policies.
