Some financial emergencies give you no warning and no room to wait. Swift Credit is a MinLaw licensed moneylender at Bugis. Apply via Singpass MyInfo in 2 minutes. We will contact you within the hour. Cash disbursed the same day you visit us.
Banks are built for borrowers with time. A standard personal loan application at a Singapore bank moves through a credit scoring system, a document review queue, and an underwriting process. Most take between 3 and 7 business days to approve and disburse. Some take longer.
A government fine does not give you 7 business days. A hospital that needs a deposit before your family member’s procedure does not wait for a bank’s underwriting team. A delivery rider without a working vehicle loses income every single day the bike sits in the workshop.
Swift Credit operates differently. We review your application and call you within the hour during office hours. If you qualify, you come to our office at Bugis, sign your contract, and leave with your cash the same day.
We do not rely on your CBS credit score as the primary factor. Banks do. We check your MLCB record, which tracks your current outstanding balance across all licensed moneylenders in Singapore. We look at your income today and whether the repayment fits your current capacity.
A low CBS grade from old bank debt does not automatically close the door here.
The Moneylenders Act 2008 protects you regardless of how urgent your situation is. Interest rates, fees, and your right to walk away before signing are all protected by law. Urgency does not mean you accept bad terms. It means you need someone who moves fast within the rules.
Littering fines, smoking summons, traffic violations. Unpaid fines escalate. Pay it before it becomes a court matter.
A family member needs hospital treatment and the deposit is due before the procedure begins. Medishield covers part of it. The rest falls on you. Whether it is a parent covering a child or an adult child stepping up for an elderly parent, the hospital does not wait while you figure out the gap.
Your motorcycle or car is in the workshop. No vehicle means no income. Every extra day off the road is money you are not making.
Your landlord has given you a deadline. Missing it puts your tenancy at risk and your family's living situation at stake.
A disconnection notice with a payment deadline. Electricity, water, or internet that your household or business depends on.
A supplier is holding your goods until payment clears. The invoice was due yesterday. Your business cannot move until this is resolved.
Fees that must be settled before a fixed date to avoid further legal consequences.
A family member needs help and the cost cannot wait for your next paycheck to land.
Your borrowing limit is set by MinLaw based on your annual income and residency status. This is your total unsecured limit across all licensed moneylenders in Singapore combined.

Interest is calculated on the remaining balance after each repayment. Every payment you make directly reduces what the next month’s interest is calculated on.
