5 banks offering the lowest personal loan interest rates November 2023

Personal loan interest rates are among the highest when compared to other loans like home, car, gold etc. This is why one should compare rates and borrow from a lender offering relatively lower rates with a lower tenure. Added to this, banks offer lower interest rates to those borrowers who have an excellent credit score.

A personal loan comes in handy when we are short of funds and need the money at the earliest. It is an unsecured loan given by a lender. What this means is that while taking this loan, the potential borrower is not required to provide collateral or security against the loan, unlike in a gold loan where gold jewellery is taken as security by the lender.
