Pre-Approved Personal Loan

A pre-approved personal loan, in the case of banks, is a personal loan that is given to eligible customers based on various criteria, such as their relationship with the bank, the amount available in savings / current bank account, fixed deposit, credit card usage, etc.

In the case of non-banking financial companies such as SMFG India Credit, a pre-approved personal loan is a top-up instant personal loan given to existing customers with a history of punctual repayment and a good credit score. A pre-approved loan does not require collateral and the interest rate varies based on the borrower's profile.

A personal loan can be availed for any legitimate reason and is very useful for meeting immediate personal expenses, such as the sudden loss of a job, a medical emergency, or a non-pre-planned event.

There are multiple reasons why you could be chosen for a pre-approved loan offer or a top-up loan. A few of these are:

• Good repayment history – you may have been punctual with your EMI payments with no delays or defaults
• Your monthly income may have recently increased and/or you may have paid enough of your existing loan to become eligible for additional credit/li>
• Responsible financial behaviour as per the latest credit report and credit score
