Compared to loans like home loans and car loans, personal loans come at a higher rate of interest. This is because they are unsecured and don’t require collateral. In addition to interest rates, other charges are also applicable on personal loans. But because they are approved instantly and have a shorter repayment term, they can be used wisely to meet financial emergencies.
