Health Insurance Service

Health insurance is a critical financial tool that provides coverage for medical expenses incurred due to illness, injury, or hospitalization. It offers financial protection by reimbursing or directly paying for medical services and treatments covered under the policy. Here’s a detailed overview to help you understand health insurance:

What is Health Insurance?

Health insurance is a contractual agreement between an individual (policyholder) and an insurance company (insurer) where the insurer agrees to provide financial coverage for medical expenses in exchange for premiums paid by the policyholder. It helps individuals and families manage healthcare costs by covering expenses such as hospitalization, surgeries, doctor visits, prescription drugs, and preventive care.

Health Insurance Balance Transfer

A personal loan balance transfer involves moving your remaining loan balance from one lender to another, usually to take advantage of a lower interest rate. The main goal is to reduce your overall debt. No collateral is needed for the transfer, but you will have to pay fees like foreclosure and processing fees. It's best to consider refinancing early in your loan term when the interest portion of your EMI is highest, as it decreases over time.

You can also consolidate credit card debt into a personal loan, benefiting from lower interest rates and longer repayment terms. This can positively affect your credit score by moving from a high-interest credit line to a lower-interest loan. If your credit card provider doesn’t allow debt transfer, you can apply for a personal loan with a new lender.

To help you save on interest, we compare various personal loan balance transfer options and find the best one for you.

Overdraft

An overdraft facility on your existing loan lets you withdraw extra funds up to a set limit whenever you need them. You only pay interest on the amount you use. Repayment is easy, as you can repay the borrowed amount anytime within the loan’s tenure. This facility is great for urgent financial needs since the money is pre-approved and available immediately. With an existing relationship with your lender, the paperwork is minimal. Timely repayments on your overdraft can also boost your credit score.

Here are some key points about the overdraft facility:
