BST Credit's Vacation Loan

The idea of travelling can readily get us all hyped and excited. Who doesn’t love an occasional holiday, a quick escape from the increasing pressures of work, or life in general.

But before you can find yourself relaxing along Kuta beach in Bali or road tripping in New Zealand, the idea of cost might pose as a significant issue to some.

Going on a vacation can be quite involving and may require you to spend a substantial amount of money. However, with good planning in regards to the places to visit and how to finance your trip, your vacation can be a huge success. More importantly, you won’t find yourself having to break your bank to finance your holiday.

Before you travel, you need to be armed with a good financial plan which includes: the cost of travel, accommodation, meals, transportation, shopping and other related expenses.

There are several ways in which you can fund your trip. For instance, you can save progressively over a certain period until you attain the required amount. However, the downside of this option is that it’s usually a long and tedious process. In an unfortunate event of an emergency, you may even have to use these funds to tide you over the emergency.

Another way in which you can finance your trip is using a vacation/holiday loan.

What Are Vacation Loans?

Vacation loans are an example of personal loans. A personal loan is a loan that is given to people without the need for a collateral. They are unsecured loans.

To put it simply, vacation loans are essentially personal loans that are tailored specifically to help finance your vacation. When an individual goes for a personal loan as a way of funding a leisure travel or a vacation, that loan is referred to as a vacation loan.

Vacation loans are perfect for your next holiday, no matter where you are heading to! Cover your flight tickets, hotel accommodation, food expenses and more with BST Credit’s vacation loan!

How Does BST's Vacation/Holiday Loans Differ From Credit Card Loans?

There are two main benefits of vacation loans as compared to credit card loans: flexibility and low fees. Notably, vacation loans are highly flexible because you can get them at the exact time when you need to travel. Moreover, if you need more time to repay the loan after your vacation, our flexible repayment schedule allows you to do so. We’ll work out a time frame that suits you best so that you won’t have to worry about repayment issues during your holiday.

The entire loan application process is also faster as you’re able to apply for the loan through our online form. This means that you’ll be able to receive the requisite funds you need, fast.

In addition, there is also no minimum salary requirement needed for vacation loans. All you have to do is prove that you have a steady and stable source of income each month. This way, you’ll most likely be approved for the loan. Also, as vacation loans are unsecured loans, there won’t be a need for you to provide collateral in exchange for the loan.

Another benefit of vacation loans is their low cost. Unlike credit card loans, vacation loans are not subject to high interest rates and hidden fees. This means that by applying for a vacation loan, you are able to get funds for your trip without having to worry about any hidden charges.

When you apply for a vacation loan, you should have already done the relevant research regarding the place you wish to travel and the travel costs. Below are some important destinations to which you can travel with a group of friends.
