Alliance Bank CashFirst Personal Loan Question

54a3 — Wed, 07 Oct 2015 16:47:42 +0800

Hey everyone. I'm a bachelor who started working in the private sector recently for about 4 months. I earn RM 3k per month with no liabilities to be paid, just the usual KWSP and SOCSO.

I would like some advices on Personal Loans. I have googled a bit around a found a few banks offering pretty low rates. However, then it dawned on me. I have absolutely no idea how loans work

I did find one plan, the Alliance Bank CashFirst Personal Loan which offers a low fixed interest rate of 6.9% per annum.

I am planning to borrow 10k. Based on the calculation i did at Personal Loan Calculator it says for 10k = 36 months x RM 308.73.

Sounds affordable, with all their benefits listed on this website Here.

My question is, is there more to this than meets the eye? I'm worried about hidden charges, difference between fixed rates and effective rates etc. As I'm kinda noob in these things would anyone please explain to me how personal loans works in general?

Your explanation is greatly appreciated
