When you're searching for the best loan, it’s tempting to go with the lowest interest rate. But here’s the truth: a loan is more than just the rate. At Vizzve Finance, we believe in smart borrowing, and that means looking at the full picture before saying yes.
Here’s a breakdown of what you need to evaluate—beyond just interest rates—to find the most cost-effective and borrower-friendly loan.
🔍 1. Processing Fees & Hidden Charges
Many lenders charge a processing fee—usually 1% to 3% of the loan amount. A lower interest loan with a high processing fee could cost more overall than a loan with a slightly higher interest rate but no fees.
Tip: Always check the loan’s Effective Annual Rate (EAR) which includes fees.
⏳ 2. Loan Tenure Flexibility
A longer tenure reduces monthly EMIs but increases total interest outgo. A shorter tenure means higher EMIs but lower total cost.
Ask yourself: Can you prepay or close early without a penalty?
💸 3. Prepayment & Foreclosure Charges
Some lenders impose charges if you repay early or pre-close your loan. These charges can cancel out any savings you make through early repayment.
At Vizzve, we believe in transparent lending—with low to zero prepayment charges.
🛡️ 4. Loan Insurance Requirements
Certain lenders club insurance premiums with your loan, increasing your EMI. While insurance might be useful, you should have a choice, not a bundled surprise.
📱 5. Customer Support & Digital Experience
You’re not just borrowing money—you’re starting a relationship. Evaluate:
Ease of applying
Loan tracking
Speed of disbursal
Responsive customer support
Vizzve offers a 100% digital process, fast approvals, and real-time support.
🔎 6. Eligibility Criteria and Approval Time
Some lenders promise low rates but reject applicants due to strict criteria or delay disbursements. Go for lenders with:
Clear eligibility terms
Fast approval & verification
Reputation for quick payouts

FAQs:

No. You must also consider processing fees, prepayment penalties, tenure, and service quality.

EIR reflects the actual annual cost of a loan, including fees—giving you a true comparison between lenders.

Some lenders allow this, others charge a fee. At Vizzve, we offer low or zero prepayment penalties, depending on the loan type.
