Other than interest rates itself, there are several other fees and charges involved when it comes to applying for a personal loan. Often, people fail to factor in these charges. Some of the common fees and charges of a personal loan are processing fees, stamping fees, early repayment and late payment charges.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Processing fee<\/span><\/h2>\n

\u2013 This is basically a fee that lenders charge to cover the cost of processing your loan. It is usually non-refundable and the charges vary from one bank to another. Depending on the lender, the fee is generally a very small percentage of the loan. However, bear in mind that not all banks impose such charges.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Stamping fee<\/span><\/h2>\n

\u2013 The stamping fee is essentially a fee paid to the Malaysian Government (Stamp Office) for the stamping of the loan agreement made between the borrower and lender. The normal stamping fee rate is around 0.5% of the loan, or RM5 per RM1,000. However, there are some banks that do not charge stamping fees.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Early repayment charges<\/span><\/h2>\n

\u2013 This is charged only when a borrower decides to fully repay the loan amount before the term is over. Again, the charges differ from one bank to another. Although some banks may charge a flat rate of, say RM200 on early repayment, others may charge borrowers based on a certain percentage of their outstanding balance.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Late payment charges<\/span><\/h2>\n

\u2013 whenever the monthly repayment of a loan is delayed, or made after the due-date, depending on the bank, a fee is generally imposed on the borrower. This fee is usually charged as a percentage of the outstanding loan amount.<\/p>\n

The fees charged by banks can accumulate to a significant amount if you\u2019re not careful. Therefore, it is always advisable that you factor in these additional costs prior to applying for a personal loan.<\/p>\n
