Pension Loans Overview

A financial emergency can come knocking on anyone’s door regardless of age. It may also be the case that you are facing a temporary financial crunch, and your pension is due next month. You can use your pension as leverage and opt for personal loans for senior citizens to meet current financial obligations or unforeseen expenses. You may also be staring at opportunities that need to be capitalized on at that very time and will slide away if not seized with the aid of financial resources.

We, at SMFG India Credit, want to debunk the myth that lenders are reluctant to offer loans to senior citizens, retired or older folk. We, at SMFG India Credit, are excited to partner with you to achieve your goals and objectives, and our enthusiasm to serve you will lessen in no degree irrespective of your age.

The monthly pension acts as collateral and guarantee for a personal loan for pension holders. Many times, a guarantor is also required to pay off the remaining credit in case an unfortunate event like sickness or accident besets the pension holder, where the pensioner is unable to repay the loan.
