What is a Personal Loan?
A personal loan is a fixed amount of money borrowed from a bank that you repay over time in monthly installments. The loan comes with a clear tenure, fixed or reducing interest rate, and an agreed monthly payment. In the UAE, personal loans are typically based on your employment type, residency status, monthly income and credit history. Once you share these details, the platform matches you with loan options you're more likely to qualify for, and a soft credit check is used to confirm your eligibility without affecting your credit score.
Types of Personal Loan in the UAE
Personal Loan without Salary Transfer
You keep your salary with your existing bank but can still borrow from another bank, subject to its criteria.
Personal Loan Buy Out (Consolidated Loan)
Your existing personal loans are bought out and consolidated into a single new loan, usually to simplify payments or reduce your monthly outgo.
Islamic Personal Loan
Shariah-compliant financing that follows Islamic banking principles, available as salary-transfer and non-salary-transfer options, depending on the bank.
