We may have our preferences when it comes to loan products. However, there are situations where a gold loan can be the best solution to our financial needs. 

In these six scenarios, we look at what is gold loan offering that makes it stand out among all loan products.

Situations when gold loan is helpful
 

· Emergency medical expenses - The events of the pandemic and the rising medical costs highlight the urgency of medical expenses. Given the immediate need in most medical emergencies, a quick gold loan disbursal can come in handy.
 

· Education expenses - Like an education loan, a loan on gold can be a secured option. However, a parent can spare the student from becoming the primary borrower in a gold loan. In addition, less paperwork makes a gold loan the faster option of the two.
 

· Business investment - Business needs capital to expand and prosper. Whether starting a business or equipping it with new machinery with a gold loan, you can avoid delays in fund arrangement. This is an effective way of putting your idle gold to work.

· Home renovation - If your home is losing its shine, you can use your gold to renovate it. A loan on gold can be a low-cost option for getting the money needed to renovate your home.
