Worried about cash flows during the Coronavirus? Personal loans to the rescue
Events like the COVID-19 outbreak give rise to lockdown and quarantine rules. India too, has put in place social-distancing and self-quarantine norms to ensure safety and stop the virus from spreading. You, like the rest of us, is staying indoors and making plans to stock up on your essentials. But what happens if you run out of funds or need extra cash suddenly? It's time you considered taking a personal loan during COVID-19.
A personal loan is an unsecured loan that you can take without pledging any collateral. E.g. If you take a home loan, your house becomes your collateral. Moreover, it's not just during Coronavirus; a personal loan is also useful any time. Perhaps in the future, you're planning a big wedding or a holiday. At digibank, by DBS you can take a loan for all these reasons and more.
We offer paperless, signatureless, personal loans, and the amount gets credited directly in your bank account. Our processes are quick, seamless, and safe; what's more is, you can apply for a loan from the safety of your home.
Five ways a personal loan during COVID-19 can help:
- To make up for pay cuts: According to reports, the Coronavirus has affected business, and some companies are likely to slash jobs and salaries. A pay cut or a financial setback is difficult to deal with and only adds to your anxiety and stress during a lockdown. A personal loan during COVID-19 can help reduce your financial worries and let you ride through this phase without having to fall short.
- To make up for delayed payments: In this situation, some are more fortunate than others. People may have anticipated payments to come through, but with the lockdown, financial plans are on hold. Don't let that be an obstacle; make a personal loan your friend in need.
- To pay for utilities: If your income has been affected during a lockdown, you're worried about having a normal life indoors. Since you and your family is home 24/7, your utility consumption is undoubtedly going to increase. At such times, you will need emergency funds to pay your electricity, DTH, wi-fi, mobile or gas bills.
- To keep your investments on track: If you miss your SIP payments, you won't necessarily 'default' as you would due to missed EMIs. However, you may not want to lose out in creating wealth for the future. The current outbreak may be short-lived, but investments are for the long-term. With additional funds in your account, you can pay for your SIPs.
- To pay for daily essentials: If your income is affected, you will need funds to pay for household essentials. With a personal loan, you needn't worry about how you'll manage daily expenses.
