6 Tips to Improve Your Chances of Loan Approval

     A bank loan offers a quick solution to financial deficits. The money from a loan can be used to fulfill emergency financial needs, start and grow a business, or acquire and improve property.

That’s not to say, however, that borrowers can’t build their case. There are still steps that you can take to make it seem like it is to everyone’s advantage if the bank grants your application. This, in turn, will give you a better chance of getting approval. If you’re planning on applying for a loan from a bank, here are some of the things that you can do to maximize the possibility of eliciting a favorable response.

BDO Life Transforms What Ifs from Challenges to Opportunities

     Life is full of “what if” moments—crossroads and decisions that help us fulfill our dreams and realize what we set out to achieve. Each “what if” moment presents us with two possibilities, that which is desirable or that which is undesirable. Our subsequent decisions and actions direct the course of our lives moving forward. Therefore, whenever we face a “what if” moment, are we ready and prepared to make the right moves? One expert who advocates the necessity of financial protection for “what if” moments is Mr. Renato A. Vergel de Dios, President and CEO of BDO Life Assurance Company, Inc. He explains how we can make “what if” moments work to our advantage with the correct mindset.

     “When we are faced with a ‘what if’ moment, we are also confronted with potential benefits and risks. The most reasonable course of action is to make a decision that maximizes the potential benefits and minimizes the potential risks,” he says. Vergel de Dios points out that the entire country experienced a crucial “what if” moment when the pandemic struck. “On top of dealing with our own survival, we also have to help others. Taking an ‘every-man-for-himself’ attitude is unacceptable. We are all in this together. As they say, ‘we must heal as one,’” he says.
