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:

Calculator Information
The Equipment Finance Calculator calculates the type of repayment required, at the frequency requested, in respect of the loan parameters entered, namely amount, term and interest rate. The Product selected determines the default interest rate for personal loan product. The Equipment Finance Calculator also calculates the time saved to pay off the loan and the amount of interest saved based on an additional input from the customer. This is if repayments are increased by the entered amount of extra contribution per repayment period. This feature is only enabled for the products that support an extra repayment. The calculations are done at the repayment frequency entered, in respect of the original loan parameters entered, namely amount, annual interest rate and term in years.Calculator Assumptions
Length of Month
All months are assumed to be of equal length. In reality, many loans accrue on a daily basis leading to a varying number of days interest dependent on the number of days in the particular month.Number of Weeks or Fortnights in a Year
One year is assumed to contain exactly 52 weeks or 26 fortnights. This implicitly assumes that a year has 364 days rather than the actual 365 or 366.Rounding of Amount of Each Repayment
In practice, repayments are rounded to at least the nearer cent. However the calculator uses the unrounded repayment to derive the amount of interest payable at points along the graph and in total over the full term of the loan. This assumption allows for a smooth graph and equal repayment amounts. Note that the final repayment after the increase in repayment amount.Rounding of Time Saved
The time saved is presented as a number of years and months, fortnights or weeks, based on the repayment frequency selected. It assumes the potential partial last repayment when calculating the savings.Amount of Interest Saved
This amount can only be approximated from the amount of time saved and based on the original loan details.Calculator Disclaimer
The results from this calculator should be used as an indication only. Results do not represent either quotes or pre-qualifications for the product. Individual institutions apply different formulas. Information such as interest rates quoted and default figures used in the assumptions are subject to change.
