Hi,

I am thinking about applying for rhb personal loan, 5k for 12 months to get a credit score. I don't currently have any loans or monthly payments, other than Hotlink Postpaid.

Will I be able to get a loan from RHB for a year? I don't need it for anything, I just want to get a good credit score. I already have a car, so I don't want to get a car loan to get credit score.

Not a wise move. Honestly if you're already making good payments on time continuously for your car loan, your credit score would be pretty good. Personal loan should not be used to boost credit score because of its high interest rate and high fees.

Also, at 12 months tenure any credit score you earn will become wiped out after 12 months, because once personal loan paid off it'll be closed and won't be weighed as much when it comes to your capability to manage debt. Read more here: https://www.experian.com/blogs/ask-experian...help-my-credit/

And assuming the lowest offered interest rates on the market it's around RM450 monthly instalments, which would put your DSR in an uncomfortable position so it'll affect your ability to apply loan during these 12 months anyway. If you don't need the loan for anything it's incredibly wasteful.
