Personal loan interest rates are among the highest when compared to other loans like home, car, gold etc. This is why one should compare rates and borrow from a lender offering relatively lower rates with a lower tenure. Added to this, banks offer lower interest rates to those borrowers who have an excellent credit score.
A personal loan comes in handy when we are short of funds and need the money at the earliest. It is an unsecured loan given by a lender. What this means is that while taking this loan, the potential borrower is not required to provide collateral or security against the loan, unlike in a gold loan where gold jewellery is taken as security by the lender.
