What is the loan for?

Start with a specific purpose. Knowing the exact amount you need can help you avoid borrowing more than necessary.

Ask for the current interest rate, applicable charges, repayment schedule and any other official costs before committing.

Can the repayment fit your regular budget?

Consider your existing monthly obligations and leave room for essential expenses and unexpected costs.
