Frequently Asked Questions

Why are income proof documents necessary for a home loan?

A financial institution needs to gauge the ability of an individual to repay the home loan and income proof documents serve as indicative proof of the customer's ability to make the loan repayment without any difficulty.

Why does a business need to be operational for more than three years for me to apply for a home loan?

Businesses that have been operational for at least three years can easily show stability and longevity - two crucial facets while applying for a home loan.

When does DBS Treasures reject home loan applications?

If the home loan application does not meet the Bank's internal credit policies, which are based on a combination of financial and other related criteria including document verification and a credit bureau report, a rejection may occur.
