Good Morning Forumer's..
I having and issue/dilemma in choosing the correct bank to apply for PL.
I shifted to a new company and its been 2 months.
Previously was working for a different organization.
Now the question is, i wanted to Apply for PL as got some debt to settle, but since this is the first time i am doing so, i am not aware of the terms and also the procedure.
Checked I-Money website and they stated for the interest and effective interest which i don't know the different.

I wanted to to apply a very minimal Loan amount (Prefer RM 5K to RM 6K but wanting RM 10K) and settle it in 1 year time as i dont wish to prolong more and delay in paying interest together as i might have other commitments comming.
I don't have any loan currently nor having a credit card.
Some of my friends said apply for CC and withdraw money from there as the interest is cheaper but from my point of view, CC means your stuck there for good ,locked and no turning back to settle as will be paying only for the interest never ending.
I Just wanted to get a very fast loan approved.
Currently in MNC
Duration : 2 Months
Which PL is secured, less interest, easy and offers payment back system so i can settle in 1 year time with low interest and no hidden hanky panky Conditions.
I can Fork out Maximum RM 500 Monthly on top of my salary.
Personal loan repayment is fixed every month and the amount of interest you need to repay is also fixed even though the principal is reduced as you pay along the period. So that's the difference.
As what you have said, I assume that your ccris is clean. If that's the case, to get your ploan approved is a bit hard as ploan is still an unsecured product. Bank will not risk of giving out loans for people who does not have any repayment record or commitment. You can still try your luck though. Maybe some banks accept such application.
What your friends said is true where withdrawing money from CC charges lower interest, but bear in mind that, any late payment or failure to pay, will result your outstanding to be charged at a normal rate. Quite risky to do this though unless you have a very firm responsibility to repay it promptly.
Hopefully I manage to help you to clear some of your doubts.
