Pre-payment of a personal loan, both in full and in part, has various advantages, as listed below.
#1 Become Debt-Free Faster: Repaying your personal loan before its due date, whether in part or in full, allows you to become debt-free faster. However, a nominal pre-payment fee will be charged.
#2 Good credit score: Both full and partial prepayment of a personal loan help improve your credit score in the long run. This is because it will allow you to pay off the outstanding principal amount on time, which will reflect well on your credit history.
#3 Reduced interest payment: You can save money on interest by making a partial or complete pre-payment. This is because when you prepay your loan partially, the overall EMI reduces. And this means you now have to pay a lower interest on your outstanding amount.
