Here to help foreigners
Foreigners in Singapore may not have much recourse, as their families are in different countries, while they are here working hard to help support them. It can be very difficult when something unfortunate happens here, with no one to help, or back home when the sole breadwinner may not be there to secure a loan.
It is for this exact circumstance that we at Capital Funds Investment decided to start the CFI Foreigner Loan. Unlike the business loan, which is open to foreigners, personal loans may be tougher to get. And we understand that as a foreigner, it can be difficult to find a financial institution to trust you and offer you a loan. Even when they do, it can take a while before they approve your loan and for you to get ahold of the money. However, with CFI, you can be assured of getting the money instantly after a thirty minute approval process!
If you are a foreigner living in Singapore in need of immediate funds, CFI’s foreigner loan can help you sort through or meet any financial obligation
Why Get a Foreigner Loan?
A foreigner loan is a personal cash loan accessible to permanent residents or non-citizens studying, working, or living in Singapore. Unlike personal loans for Singaporeans, the approval for this loan depends on the applicant’s income requirement, salary, and employment pass/permit type.
Expatriates struggle with getting personal loans from banks due to collateral requirements. Foreigners are most likely dependent on their salary for financial security, which makes finding an affordable loan a challenge — an unpleasant scenario, especially if you’re in the midst of an emergency.
A foreigner loan covers your unique financial needs. When you get in touch with CFI’s consultants, we immediately discuss your available options. All of our loans suit a variety of budgets, and we adjust them according to your specific needs.
How to Apply for Our Foreigner Loan
We understand how complicated it is for expats to secure a loan. At CFI, we make the process easy and hassle-free. To be eligible for our foreigner loan, you must be at least 18 years old and have a valid work permit. We also require the following documents:
- Employment pass
- Employment or confirmation letter from your employer
- Payslips from the past three months
- Passport
- Tenancy agreement (only if you’re currently renting)

Pick the right moneylender
There are many unlicensed moneylenders out there who are out to cheat foreigners working in Singapore, offering small loans with hidden fees attached and extremely high-interest rates. They even charge high upfront administrative fees and disappear before producing the loan itself. And it can be very difficult for foreigners to find representation or to find the time to pursue and get their money back when they are already struggling to find extra cash for their emergencies.
Don’t trust any unlicensed moneylender in Singapore. Unlike most other money lenders, Capital Funds Investment is a legal money lender and Ministry of Law approved. We are a licensed money lender and that means that we will never try to cheat you and disappear and you can trust us to provide you with a fair loan. Furthermore, you can trust us to not abuse the confidential information that we get from you during your application process. In fact, the Ministry of Law has good advice on its website that foreigners should always read up on before making any loans.
Lastly, working with a trusted financial institution like Capital Funds Investment will allow you to tailor your loan repayment plan to one suited to your lifestyle needs and salary.
