  • No, Lending8.com is not a licensed moneylender. We are a loan and finance marketplace platform (UEN: 202222479K) that connects borrowers with licensed banks, finance companies, and moneylenders in Singapore. We do not lend money directly.

  • We charge a small commission to lenders when they successfully fund a loan through our platform. We do not charge borrowers any fees for using our comparison service. This ensures our service remains free for consumers while maintaining unbiased recommendations.

  • Interest rates and fees depend on your unique profile including factors like your credit score, income, loan amount, term, and loan type as well as other factors. All rates and any applicable fees (e.g., origination fees) will be clearly disclosed in your loan agreement before you sign. We believe in full transparency with no hidden charges.

  • To apply for a personal or business loan, you typically need to be at least 18 years old, have a valid government-issued ID (like IC), provide proof of stable income (e.g., pay stubs or bank statements), and have an active bank account. Specific requirements may vary based on the loan type and amount.

  • A secured loan requires you to pledge an asset (like a car or property) as collateral. This often results in a lower interest rate. An unsecured loan does not require collateral and is approved based on your creditworthiness, which may mean a higher interest rate.

  • Our initial application form takes about 5 minutes to complete. You'll receive preliminary offers within 1-2 hours. Final approval and funding typically take 24-48 hours depending on the lender and completeness of your documentation.

  • Loan amounts vary by product. Personal loans can range from a few thousand to tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars, while business and mortgage loans can be significantly higher. The final amount you are approved for is based on your income, credit profile, and debt-to-income ratio.
