5 Reasons why Filipinos get a Personal Loan

According to the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP), there has been a significant increase in Filipinos getting a loan from 29% in 2017 to 41% in 2019. This comes to no surprise as more Filipinos begin to understand the value of managing their finances and learn more about the available services that can help leverage them financially like loans.

However, getting a loan comes with responsibilities that you have to commit to in order to maintain a good credit standing. That’s why it’s important to make sure you are using it for the right reasons. We listed down some of the best reasons why Filipinos apply for loans. Here are some of them.

Education is an important part of anyone’s life and it can get very expensive. In fact, enrolling your child to study in some of the top universities in the country may even cost you more than a P100,000 annually. The same goes if you’re serious about improving your skills as certification courses also comes with a big expense.

Rightfully so, education is an excellent investment as it opens up more income opportunities in the future. That’s why getting a loan to fund education may be one of the best financial decisions you can make.

A personal loan is a great alternative source of funds especially in cases of emergencies. Healthcare and hospitalization may come with a price tag that can eat up into your savings.  Getting a personal loan is one of the best ways to get access to funds to help cover the costs of unforeseen medical expenses.

Getting a personal loan can also help in making improvements in one’s lifestyle. After all, home renovations and car repairs do not come cheap. A personal loan can also fund much needed house repairs that may arise from natural calamities or costly car restorations. 

Unknown to many, getting a personal loan is a good way to address any outstanding balances you may have from previous debts. Doing so would help you manage your finances by consolidating your credit card balances or other pre-existing loans into one bigger loan. That way, you can refinance old loans and reduce the amount of money you need to pay for interest to make it more affordable.
