How will I know if I am applying a loan from a licensed money lender?

Check the financial institution’s name against the list of licensed moneylenders created by the Ministry of Law.

If you’re looking for other telltale signs, a licensed money lender is NOT allowed to:
  • Use texts / WhatsApp messages / calls to get you to sign up for a loan with them
  • Approve of a loan remotely, without asking you to meet them at their place of business
  • Ask you to pay any installment before receiving the actual loan money
Moreover, licensed money lenders are only allowed to use the following advertising channels to communicate their messages:
  • Business or consumer directories 
  • Their internet websites (please be aware of scammers impersonating themselves as licensed lenders)
  • Shopfront and window decals where they conduct their business
Therefore if you come across any other forms of advertising (such as Google Ads, Facebook Ads) from Lending Bee, avoid them at all cost ! They are either loan sharks or loan scams.

How do I keep track of my monthly repayment schedule?

You can check your monthly repayment schedule via Lending Bee’s mobile app / online account / via our professional loan officers. You can also request for your statement of account from any of our branches.

What should I consider before taking up a loan?

You should keep these key points in mind:
  • Before approaching a moneylender, consider other alternatives, such as the various financial assistance schemes offered by various Government agencies. You may contact the agencies to find out more about their schemes.
  • You are legally obliged to fulfil any loan contract you enter into with a licensed moneylender.
  • Consider whether you are able to abide by the contractual terms, bearing in mind your income and financial obligations. Borrow only what you need and are able to repay. Be mindful that if you are unable to meet the contractual terms, the late payment fees and interest payment will be a financial strain not just on yourself but also on your family.
  • The law requires moneylenders to explain the terms of a loan to you in a language you understand and to provide you with a copy of the loan contract. Make sure you fully understand the terms of the contract, in particular, the repayment schedule, the interest rate charged and the fees applicable.
  • Consider carefully before agreeing to any contractual term which allows a moneylender to lodge a caveat on the sale proceeds of your real estate property upon default of the loan repayment. When a caveat is lodged against your property, you will not be able to sell it without first repaying the moneylender in full. If the repayment is taken from the net proceeds from the sale of the property, it can wipe out all or a substantial portion of the proceeds.
  • You should shop around different moneylenders for the most favourable terms. You should not rush into and commit yourself to a loan until you are satisfied with the terms and conditions.

How can I tell whether an advertisement is from a licensed moneylender or an unlicensed moneylender?

Under the advertising rules, which took effect on 1 November 2011, licensed moneylenders are permitted to advertise only through these three channels: (a) business or consumer directories (in print or online media) (b) websites belonging to the moneylender and (c) advertisements placed within or on the exterior of the moneylender’s business premises. All other channels are prohibited. In this regard, the advertising rules can help you differentiate between licensed and unlicensed moneylenders. If you receive flyers, SMSes, emails or other forms of advertisements which are not permitted under the rules, these would be from either licensed moneylenders operating in violation of the rules, or loansharks. Hence, you are advised not to respond to such advertisements. Instead, you should report the advertisements to the Registry at 1800-2255-529 or by email at [email protected] . Errant licensed moneylenders will be investigated by the Registry and loan sharks will be investigated by the Police.

I have taken loans with other banks before and I have a poor credit score. Can I still get a loan?

Yes, you can!

We will always evaluate each case individually and try to understand the applicant’s situation. If we find that your current financial situation has improved, we will still provide a loan to you. Unlike most banks and lending companies, Lending Bee aims to help as many people as possible.

I already have a loan with a bank, can I still apply for a new loan?

Over the past few years, more and more Singaporeans are taking up two or more loans. Statistics have shown that there was an increase of 78% of borrowers who have at least two mortgages and other loans. Most individuals have a home loan and a study loan. If you require more financial help, you can still apply for a loan.

At Lending Bee, we are always willing and ready to help our customers. However, that does not mean that we will be irresponsible and force clients to take up huge loans that are tough to repay and end up straining their wallets further.

Lending Bee evaluates customers’ situations responsibly and will only loan an amount that is suitable or affordable for the clients.
