Loan can improve your Credit Score


 A personal loan can be a real life saver in times of need.  This loan can help you pay off debts, fund and education, make home improvements, or fund a medical procedure.  Applying for a personal loan online is super easy too.  All you need is your proof of identity and a few bank details.  One crucial thing you need though is a good credit or CIBIL score.


 For borrowing money from a bank, the most important fact that they take into consideration is your credit score.  Your credit score is a three-digit number ranging between 300 and 900. It is a numerical expression of an individual’s creditworthiness.  It tells your bank about your eligibility and your capability to repay the loan.  Your credit score is determined through an analysis of your credit files such as credit card payments and loan accounts.  Generally, a credit score of 750 and above is said to the ideal score for getting a loan or a credit card approved.


When you take a bank loan your credit score is affected. But taking a personal loan the right way can also help you improve your credit score. Here’s how to do it.


Give it a thought


 Before you apply for a personal loan online , give a thought to the amount you’re asking for.  Your income to debt ratio should always be positive.  Apply for a loan that is well within that range.


Don’t apply too much


 Don’t take or seek too many loans at the same time.  If for some reason your loan application gets rejected, refrain from immediately seek another loan.  Your applications too are reflected on your credit score.


Get the right loan offer


 Choosing the right personal loan is a crucial step towards a good credit score.  A loan amount and an interest rate that you can easily pay off with your monthly income will ensure that you don’t default or Miss EMI payments.  Timely repayment of your loan has a big impact on your credit score.


Pay your EMIs on time


ď‚´ Never miss your EMI payments as missing even a single payment can have an impact on your credit score.


Don’t prepay your loans


 Although prepayment of personal loans is good for the customers, it can reflect badly on your credit score.  It reflects badly on your long term creditworthiness.  So even if you come into a huge amount of money, use it to pay EMIs in bulk instead of prepaying your entire loan.
