Payday Loan in Singapore

Bridge the Gap Until Your Next Payday

Loan Purposes

What Can a Payday Loan Cover?

A payday loan can help you manage an expense that comes up before your next salary, without disrupting your monthly budget.

Cover a surprise bill or expense that lands before your next paycheck arrives.

A Short-Term Cash Flow Gap

Bridge the gap between your expenses and your next salary credit, without falling behind on commitments.

How a BST Credit Payday Loan Works

Flexible repayment, not a single lump sum:

  • Apply online with Singpass MyInfo for a fast, paperless process
  • Repay through manageable monthly instalments, not a single repayment on your next payday
  • Every fee and rate is disclosed upfront, capped within limits set by the Ministry of Law

You may have come across payday loans elsewhere that require full repayment in one lump sum on your next payday, often within just a few weeks. A BST Credit payday loan works differently: you still get quick access to funds to cover the gap before your next paycheck, but repayment is spread across manageable monthly instalments, similar to our other personal loans.

As a licensed moneylender, we still walk you through your loan contract clearly before you sign, covering the loan amount, interest rate, repayment schedule and fees, so you know exactly what you’re committing to and for how long.

Loan Amount Limits Explained

These limits apply specifically to unsecured cash loans in Singapore. Here’s what borrowers should keep in mind:

  • The unsecured loan limit applies across all licensed moneylenders combined, not per lender
  • Your actual approved amount will also depend on your income, existing obligations and repayment ability

Interest Rates and Fees You Can Expect

What We Can Legally Charge

As a licensed moneylender, we are bound by strict limits set by the Ministry of Law. Here is what applies to your payday loan:

  1. Interest capped at 4% per month
  2. Late interest capped at 4% per month, charged only on the amount that is overdue
  3. A late payment fee of up to SGD 60 for each month of late repayment
  4. A one-time loan approval fee of up to 10% of the principal amount

Borrow Responsibly

If you find yourself needing a payday loan more months than not, it may be worth looking at your broader budget rather than relying on borrowing to bridge the same gap repeatedly. Borrow only what you need for the specific expense at hand, and make sure the monthly instalment fits comfortably within your next few pay cycles. Our responsible borrowing checklist is a useful starting point before you apply.

FAQ

Payday Loan FAQs

Answers to common questions about borrowing before your next payday in Singapore.

A payday loan is a short-term loan designed to help cover an expense that comes up before your next salary. In Singapore, payday loans can only be legally offered by licensed moneylenders, so it’s important to only borrow from a lender listed on the official Registry of Moneylenders.

No, not with BST Credit. Many payday loans require a single lump-sum repayment on your next payday, but a BST Credit payday loan is repaid through manageable monthly instalments instead, similar to our other personal loans, so you’re not facing one large repayment all at once.

The maximum you can borrow depends on your annual income and residency status, and this limit applies across all licensed moneylenders in Singapore combined, not per lender.

  • Singapore Citizens and PRs earning under $20,000 a year: up to $3,000
  • Singapore Citizens and PRs earning $20,000 a year or more: up to 6 times your monthly income
  • Foreigners earning under $10,000 a year: up to $500
  • Foreigners earning $10,000 but under $20,000 a year: up to $3,000
  • Foreigners earning $20,000 a year or more: up to 6 times your monthly income

Licensed moneylenders in Singapore are regulated by the Ministry of Law to keep borrowing fair and transparent

  • Interest rate: capped at 4% per month
  • Late interest: capped at 4% per month, charged only on the overdue amount
  • Late payment fee: up to SGD 60 for each month of late repayment
  • Loan approval fee: up to 10% of the principal, charged only once when the loan is granted
  • Total of all charges combined: cannot exceed the loan principal

To apply for a payday loan with BST Credit, you should be 21 years old or above, be a Singapore Citizen, PR, or valid Work Pass holder (EP, S Pass, WP), and have a steady income, whether from full-time, part-time or self-employed work.

You can check the official Registry of Moneylenders maintained by the Ministry of Law. Always apply only through official websites or verified contact channels to avoid unlicensed lenders. Read our full guide on how to check if a moneylender is licensed for a step-by-step walkthrough.

The Registry of Moneylenders cannot negotiate with lenders on your behalf, as this is a matter of private contract. If you’re facing financial difficulties, you may wish to approach a social service agency for credit counselling and help negotiating a repayment plan, such as Credit Counselling Singapore (6225 5227), which handles cases that also involve bank debts.
