Here we list out the interest rates charged by different banks on personal loans.
Notably, personal loans – being unsecured – charge a higher rate of interest. Typically, banks charge anywhere between 12-18 percent on personal loans based on credit score of borrower. No prizes for guessing that borrowers with a higher credit score can raise a loan at a lower rate of interest vis-a-vis someone with a low credit score.
