No, Lendingpot is not a lender in its own right. Instead, to ensure that our consumers have access to offers from as many loan providers as possible, we are collaborating with several banks and financial organizations. The Lendingpot service complies entirely with Singapore's Ministry of Law, and we do business in compliance with legal standards. Lendingpot doesn't need a license to operate, either, as we aren't ourselves loan providers.
In Singapore, we now collaborate with more than 45 banks and financial institutions, including HSBC, Standard Chartered Bank, and DBS for business and over 20 banks and licensed money lenders for personal loans.

The ultimate loan approval is always contingent upon the internal regulations, procedures, and eligibility standards of each loan source. As a result, it is challenging to determine your eligibility for a final loan prior to utilizing our application form. We boost your chances of acquiring a loan by working with several banks and financial institutions; even if one bank rejects your application, you still have a strong chance of getting accepted by others.
However, in order to apply with Lendingpot, you must meet these minimal requirements:
• You must be between the ages of 21 and 70
• You must have a monthly salary of at least $2,500.
• You must be a Singaporean with a salary, a PR, or an EP holder.
Absolutely. Your application carries no obligation, and you are free to reject any and all of the offers made to you. Please give us a try!

It is therefore challenging to predict the interest rate that you will be offered before you have filed your application. Keep in mind that interest rates might range greatly depending on the loan amount and length granted, as well as across banks and financial organizations. Prior to selecting the offer you like, be sure to evaluate all the offers made to you.

The fixed rate is safer and more reliable since it won't move in response to market changes. It is often higher than the floating rate, though, and if the market is down, you run the danger of getting locked in at a high rate. The SORA variable or floating rate is more unstable and subject to fluctuation. Recent COVID-19 epidemic has caused floating rates to reach a new low. They have however recovered above pre-covid levels. Therefore there is a risk to either rate choice. Simply said, there is no absolute better option. Your future expectations, risk tolerance, and anticipated market swings will all play a role in determining whether a fixed rate or variable rate is better for you.
