10 Things to Consider in Applying for Maritime Seaman Loan in the Philippines

In the Philippines, seaman loan is probably one of the first types of non secured high risk loans promoted to become a 1 day release loan making it the unbeatable fastest type of loan to apply for. The problem is that not everybody may apply for this cash credit for sailors so currently, there are works being done by different lending companies like Asialink Finance and Global Dominion, 2 of the current biggest lending companies offering the said loan to offer the car loan without taking car using only the original OR CR of a vehicle. Anyway, these 2 mecca providers are just a start and I am sure that many other companies will follow the new system.

Getting back to the original discussion, I would like to make sure that maritime workers immediately know and understand about the different loan application requirements for a seafarer loan. That not all applications may yield the same result of getting the fast approval due to different cases and situation not met by a particular case of a sailor. While many would think that the 1 day release low interest loan applies to all, I would like to make it clear that everything else is a case to case basis.

Upon study being a loan consultant for multiple lending companies all over the Philippines, I learned that you must meet certain pre qualifying requirements in order to achieve fast loan application approval and release of cash.

Good luck to your loan application and may you all get what you need to with the help of a professional and qualified loan consultant in the Philippines.
