What is a Payday Loan?

A payday loan is a short-term, unsecured loan designed to bridge the gap between now and your next salary. You borrow a small amount — typically up to one month’s income — and repay it in a lump sum on or by your next payday.

Unlike a personal loan with a multi-month repayment schedule, a payday loan is settled quickly, usually within 2 to 4 weeks. It is best used for genuine short-term emergencies: a medical bill that cannot wait, an urgent repair, or a payment that would incur a late penalty if missed.

As a Ministry of Law-licensed moneylender, Power Credit issues payday loans under the Moneylenders Act 2008 and the Moneylenders Rules. All fees and interest rates are capped by law.

How Much Can You Borrow?

Your borrowing limit is set by MinLaw regulations based on your residency status and annual income.

Borrower type Annual income Maximum loan amount
Singapore Citizen or PR Below $20,000 $3,000
Singapore Citizen or PR $20,000 and above Up to 6× monthly income
Foreigner with valid work pass Below $10,000 $500
Foreigner with valid work pass $10,000 – $19,999 $3,000
Foreigner with valid work pass $20,000 and above Up to 6× monthly income

Note: For payday loans specifically, Power Credit typically limits the loan to 1× your monthly income, regardless of the maximum permitted. This keeps the repayment manageable on your next payday.

These limits apply to your total outstanding balance across all licensed moneylenders, not per lender. Check your MLCB report (SGD 0.50 via www.mlcb.com.sg) to see your current balance before applying.

Fees and Interest — What the Law Says

Power Credit charges only the fees permitted under the Moneylenders Act 2008. There are no hidden charges.

Fee type Cap set by MinLaw Power Credit's charge
Interest rate 4% per month on outstanding balance (reducing) Up to 4% per month
Late payment fee SGD 60 per month SGD 60 per month (only if payment is missed)
Admin / processing fee 10% of principal, one-time 10% of principal
Total charges Cannot exceed principal amount Capped as required

Example: If you borrow SGD 1,500 for one month:

  • Admin fee (10%): SGD 150 (deducted upfront — you receive SGD 1,350)
  • Interest (4%): SGD 60
  • Repayment amount: SGD 1,560
  • If repaid on time, late fee: SGD 0

These are indicative figures. Your actual loan offer is confirmed at the office during the in-person contract signing.

Singapore Payday Loan Regulations — Your Rights as a Borrower

As a MinLaw-licensed moneylender, Power Credit operates strictly within the Moneylenders Act 2008. These are your legally protected rights:

  • Interest is capped at 4% per month on the outstanding balance — your lender cannot charge more than this regardless of any agreement.
  • Late fees are capped at SGD 60 per month — even if you miss multiple payments, the monthly late fee cannot exceed this.
  • Admin fees are capped at 10% of the principal — charged once upfront, not repeatedly.
  • Total charges cannot exceed your principal — you will never owe more in fees and interest than the amount you borrowed.
  • You must receive a written loan contract — never sign anything you have not read or do not understand.
  • Harassment is a criminal offence — report it to the Police and the Registry of Moneylenders immediately.

Why Borrow from a Licensed Moneylender Instead of a Bank?

Banks are not built for short-term borrowing. Their personal loan approval process takes 5 to 7 business days on average — and most banks require a minimum annual income of SGD 20,000 to SGD 30,000 to qualify.

For the specific problem a payday loan solves — you need SGD 500 to SGD 2,000 right now, not in a week — a licensed moneylender is the only realistic option that keeps you legal and protected.

🏦 Bank Personal Loan

  • Approval takes 5 to 7 business days
  • Minimum annual income SGD 20,000 – SGD 30,000
  • Strict credit score requirements
  • Not designed for short-term urgent needs

✅ Power Credit (Licensed Moneylender)

  • Assessment often within the hour
  • Lower income requirements
  • Poor credit history considered
  • Built for urgent short-term needs

⚠️ The key difference from loan sharks

Licensed moneylenders are regulated by the Ministry of Law. Your interest, fees, and rights as a borrower are protected by law. Loan sharks are not.

Always verify your moneylender's licence on the MinLaw registry before borrowing from anyone.

Responsible Borrowing — What You Should Know Before You Apply

Payday loans are a useful short-term tool. They are not designed for recurring use.

Before applying, ask yourself:

  • Can I repay the full amount (principal + interest + admin fee) by my next payday?
  • Is this expense genuinely urgent, or can it wait?
  • Am I taking this loan to repay another loan? If yes, speak to a credit counsellor first — contact Credit Counselling Singapore .

⚠️ Having difficulty repaying?

Contact us immediately before your due date — we can discuss your options. The worst outcome is missed repayment without communication. Late fees accumulate and your MLCB record is affected.

Frequently Asked Questions about Payday Loans

What is a payday loan in Singapore?

A payday loan is a short-term unsecured loan from a licensed moneylender, designed to cover urgent cash needs until your next salary. It is typically repaid in a lump sum within 2 to 4 weeks.

Payday loan tenures are typically aligned with your next payday — usually between 2 weeks and 1 month. Power Credit can discuss a repayment date that matches your salary credit date.

Yes. Licensed moneylender loans are recorded on the MLCB (Moneylenders Credit Bureau), which is separate from the CBS (Credit Bureau Singapore) used by banks. Timely repayments build a positive MLCB record. Missed repayments are recorded and can affect future borrowing from licensed moneylenders. Bank credit scores are not affected.

Yes. Power Credit evaluates your current income stability and employment status, not just your credit score. Applicants with a poor CBS credit history or past bank rejections are welcome to apply. Our loan officers assess each case individually.

There is no legal limit on the number of concurrent loans, but your total outstanding balance across all licensed moneylenders in Singapore is subject to the MinLaw borrowing cap for your income tier. We recommend having only one payday loan at a time to keep repayment manageable.

No. Payday loans from Power Credit are unsecured and do not require a guarantor.

A late payment fee of SGD 60 per month applies. Contact us before your due date if you anticipate difficulty — our loan officers will work with you on a restructuring plan. Do not ignore a missed payment as fees and MLCB entries will accumulate.

Yes. Foreigners holding a valid Employment Pass, S Pass, or Work Permit may apply. Borrowing limits for foreigners with annual income below SGD 10,000 are capped at SGD 500. For annual income between SGD 10,000 and SGD 19,999, the cap is SGD 3,000. For SGD 20,000 and above, up to 6× monthly income applies.
