'How do I work out if Refinancing is worthwhile for me?'

There are many factors that can influence the outcome of your refinanced loan.

On the other hand, additional features such as Top-up loan, Extended Tenure may help give you extra savings making Balance Transfer a prudent choice. The key is to crunch the numbers, but it's best to consult our home loan officer to help with your calculation.

'Should I refinance to consolidate my debt?'

Consolidating your debt can be a good strategy to keep your finances in order, but can turn out to be costly if not managed with care. Rolling short-term debts (such as your credit card or personal loan) into your mortgage may ease the immediate repayment pressure, but bear in mind you're actually turning them into a long-term debt which means you'll likely end up paying more in overall interest. You'll be better placed to reap the full benefits of debt-consolidation when it's combined with a commitment to reduce your spending or make extra repayments.
