Balance Transfer:
A balance transfer allows you to shift your existing personal loan to a new lender offering a lower interest rate, reducing your EMI burden. This is ideal if market interest rates have dropped or if you've improved your credit score. However, it is crucial to evaluate the total savings, as some lenders charge processing fees or other costs for the transfer. Conduct thorough research and compare offers to ensure the new lender provides long-term benefits. Timing is key—transferring early in the loan tenure maximizes savings by cutting down on interest payments
Consider Debt Consolidation:
Debt consolidation simplifies loan management by merging multiple loans into a single one, often at a lower interest rate. This strategy reduces the complexity of tracking various EMIs and can significantly cut monthly payments if done with favorable terms. By consolidating debt, borrowers can streamline their finances and reduce the chances of missed payments, which could otherwise harm their credit score. However, it’s essential to account for any processing fees or penalties involved in consolidating loans
