Credit card is a cool thing to have. Binge, eat, shop, do whatever you desire, because you have the power to swipe it in style. What more? You can even swipe it and withdraw cash too.
But when the payment date is due, we may often fall for the vicious ‘minimum amount due’ cycle and rest is converted into the ‘outstanding amount’, which is nothing, but sort of a loan. The outstanding amount of your credit card comes with a high rate of interest, as high as 3-5% per month, making it one of the easiest ways to eat up your savings and can lead to financial instability, if managed poorly.
What if you could avail a Personal Loan and use it in a manner similar to a credit card? And it would cost you half the interest rate!
Personal Overdraft is what we are talking about.
Personal Overdraft, sometimes also referred as credit line OD, is a form of unsecured loan wherein your credit limit is sanctioned and you pay interest only when you make a withdrawal. Quite similar to a Credit Card. LoanTap offers a simple, easy and fast process of availing an Overdraft facility.. Let us look at some of the key features and benefits of getting a overdraft loan –
- Lower interest rate:
Because interest rate on Overdraft is almost half the interest rate generally charged on a credit card, your monthly instalment is lower. Personal Overdraft from LoanTap is offered at 1.5% monthly interest. For example, if you have an outstanding amount of Rs. 1 lakh on your existing credit card, then you are charged interest of Rs 3,000- Rs. 5,000 per month as instalment. On the other hand, when you withdraw the same amount from your Personal Overdraft facility, you pay an instalment of Rs 1,500 per month. Plus, you can also avail the auto debit facility to build financial discipline. - Tenure:
By availing an Overdraft, you get higher tenure to repay without impacting your credit score. The tenure for a loan amount of Rs. 1 lakh can be set to 60 months in a Personal Overdraft Loan, while a credit card revolving credit facility generates monthly bill cycle of 30-50 days. - End usage:
Credit cards are used primarily for swiping them. If one withdraws cash from credit card, it usually attracts high charges. On the other hand, you can use Personal Overdraft Loan to swipe as well as withdraw cash. Flexibility and choice of end usage remains with you.
In addition to the aforementioned benefits, maintaining a Personal OD also improves your credit profile.
