    1. Hello there Yuu! Most banks have a minimum requirement of two years for self-employed individuals. Your application might be declined despite submitting the documents because you didn’t meet the required tenure for business. We’re sorry for this.

  3. Hi I have closed credit card with eastwest but I already settled the balance. Is it possible to be approved if I will apply personal loan?

    1. Hi Sha! You can still apply even without a credit card. Owning a credit card only helps East West (and other banks) to check your credit history, which is their basis on the approval or rejection of your loan 🙂

    1. Hi Leah. Please contact EastWest directly regarding this since they have access to your loan application. Thanks.
