In my case, I do personal loan (10%) to pay for my home financing. Now, I just found out that you can actually fork out money from EPF to do this without taking personal loan  now I have 3 loan to think of: 1. Personal Loan  this should be non-exist! 2. Home mortgage 3. Credit card Lesson learnt, I am planning to take the amount from my account 2 and pay personal loan. So I have to question in mind 1. Pay home mortgage principal by EPF account 2 fund (will this lower my monthly commitment?) 2. Pay off personal loan with EPF account 2, which used as 10% home deposit (Can I do this? Well personal loan interest is more expensive than mortgage) Advice needed

You need to cover back the money that has been taken out from EPF. EPF offering 6.xx% dividend which is quite high. Or you might want to clear CC first since the interest rate might be higher than your personal loan.

I have read through some blogs but it is mostly on reducing mortgage principal by this method. I plan to re-finance my home mortgage to make it longer and reduce my monthly too, so this method did not apply to me. I want to get rid of the credit card too, but there is no scheme like 'reducing card credit loan'  Thus, clearing that personal loan is my priority/
