Factors Affecting Corporation Bank Car Loan Interest Rates

Given below are a few of the many factors that decide the interest rate levied on your car loan by Corporation Bank:

• Loan amount: Banks usually decide the interest rate on looking at the loan amount. Corporation Bank has different interest rates for loan amounts below Rs.50 lakh and above Rs.50 lakh. The interest rate for the larger amount is higher.
• Tenure of the loan: If the borrower chooses a longer tenure for repayment of his/her car loan it might make the bank levy a higher interest rate on the loan. This is because the bank considers this as a higher risk factor for defaulting on loan repayment. In order to balance this risk the bank might increase the interest rate charged on the car loan. On the other hand, if you opt for a lower loan tenure, this assures the bank of faster repayment so you can expect a lower interest rate.
• Income: Applicants who earn an income falling within the income eligibility criteria, especially with a higher income and lower debt outflow, are deemed more creditworthy by banks. In this situation, the applicant can negotiate with the bank for a lower rate of interest.
• Profession: Corporation Bank takes into consideration the profession of the bank when it decides the interest rate to be offered. Usually, the interest rate for a job that poses as a high-risk job will have a higher rate of interest. Additionally, the bank offered a much lower rate of interest for employees of the Central and State government as well as defence personnel.
• Credit score: If the credit score of an applicant is high, he/she is considered more creditworthy. Therefore, the chances of getting the car loan approved is very high. This will also influence the bank to lower the rate of interest that is applicable on the loan quantum of your choice.
• Bank’s existing customers: Existing customers of Corporation Bank will have better chances of availing an advantageous car loan package for themselves. Corporation Bank offers various car loan offers for established customers of the Bank at lower rates of interest.
