Advice on setting up an emergency fund – a personal loan for unexpected expenses

If your emergency fund falls short of meeting your needs, choose IndusInd Bank’s personal loans for emergencies to meet your urgent financial requirements. Our unsecured personal loans come with attractive interest rates and flexible repayment schedules. These loans have a 100% online application process and are instantly disbursed, providing succor in difficult circumstances.

Unexpected, urgent, and often unsettling, financial emergencies can take us by surprise. This is why it’s prudent to set up an emergency fund for achieving both financial security and peace of mind.

However, there might arise a situation in which even emergency funds fall short of meeting unexpected and immediate financial needs. At such times, personal loans can be a lifesaver – they are easy to apply for, do not require collateral, and are approved quickly.

Setting Up An Emergency Fund: Getting Started

Follow these best practices to set up an emergency fund:

  • Save consistently: Each month, set aside some money that is not required for daily expenses.
  • Have clear goals: Know how much you want to save for an emergency fund. This can be anywhere between 4-6 times your monthly income.
  • Adjust the amount: Adjust the target amount of the fund in accordance with significant life events – higher education, marriage, or buying a vehicle or house.
  • Separate and automate: Create a separate savings account to avoid dipping into this corpus of funds. Automate savings by setting up automatic transfers to your emergency fund account every month.

When to Consider a Personal Loan

While it is helpful to put away money and build a corpus of funds, the following life situations may still require you to take out a personal loan for emergencies:

  • Medical situations: The steep costs of an unforeseen medical condition could well drain your savings within a short period of time. In such cases, taking out a personal loan for medical expenses can help you regain your health and peace of mind without compromising on the quality of medical care.
  • Moving house & home maintenance: A personal loan can save the day whether you suddenly have to move house or take care of unforeseen damages and repair work at home.
  • Higher education: Quality education can be expensive, and sometimes, you may not get enough notice. A personal loan for education can help you cover tuition fees and other expenses on time.
  • Other unforeseen expenses: A personal loan for emergencies may be needed in several other situations, such as loss of job and subsequent income, a sudden death or wedding in the family, and unexpected car repairs among others.

Get Emergency Personal Loans at IndusInd Bank

Life is unpredictable. As illustrated above, a sudden situation may arise, requiring a significant sum of money that is not available to you immediately. An IndusInd personal loan can be a lifesaver in such situations for the following reasons:

  1. Avail loan amounts of up to INR 5 lakhs instantly to meet your financial needs, no matter what they may be.
  2. Get affordable personal loans at attractive interest rates.
  3. Choose from flexible repayment schedules that fit your budget and repayment capacity, ranging from 1-4 years.
  4. The application process is 100% digital with instant approval, zero physical documentation and swift disbursal, facilitating easy access to funds in an urgent situation.
  5. There is no stress of collateral involved, allowing you immediate and hassle-free access to funds.

To get an instant personalloan for emergency situations, visit the IndusInd Bank website and apply now!

Budgeting For Marriage: Is A Personal Loan for Marriage the Right Choice?

From quick access to funds and financial flexibility to keeping your savings intact, a personal loan for wedding expenses offers various benefits.

Heralding a new beginning, marriage is an important milestone marked by love, happiness, and celebrations. In India, weddings can be a lavish affair. However, not everyone has the funds to pay for a grand, glamorous wedding celebration. As a result, many individuals apply for a wedding loan to ease the burden without cutting back on expenses. A wedding loan or marriage loan is a personal loan designed to cover all wedding-related expenses.

In this blog post, we will explore why obtaining a personal loan for a wedding can be a favourable decision.

1. Quick Access to Funds

Personal loans are easier to obtain, with quicker approval than other loans. If your wedding planning requires urgent finances, a personal loan may be the best way to cover those immediate needs.

2. Financial Flexibility

Credit Card Security – Best Practices For Safeguarding Sensitive Information And Spotting Potential Scams

Credit card scams are continuously rising in today’s digital age. Cardholders can avoid common scams by following certain safety practices and staying vigilant. IndusInd Bank offers top-of-the-line credit cards with a comprehensive suite of security features to keep customers safe from financial scams and cybercrimes.

Fraudulent activities related to credit cards are on the rise, thanks to scammers adopting increasingly sophisticated techniques. According to a recent survey, 23% of respondents experienced debit or credit card fraud in the last three years.

Cybercriminals deploy a variety of tactics, such as phishing emails and fraudulent phone calls, to illegally obtain credit card information. Once in possession of the data, they can make unauthorised purchases, transfer funds, or sell sensitive information on the dark web.

To avoid falling prey to such tactics, cardholders must stay vigilant.

Here are some credit card safety tips you could follow:

6 Credit Card Safety Tips to Avoid Scams

Enjoy Reward Points with Lifetime Credit Card

1. Monitor SMS and Email Alerts

Keep track of the SMS and email notifications you receive from your bank when you make a transaction using your credit card. IndusInd Bank always sends you SMS alerts whenever you do a transaction on your credit card. Review these alerts to identify suspicious or unauthorised transactions.

2. Hard-to-Guess PIN

Avoid using easy-to-guess PINs such as birth or anniversary dates, which fraudsters can easily compromise. Set a unique and difficult-to-guess PIN. Additionally, change your PIN regularly and destroy any physical documents that contain your PIN.

3. Beware of Phishing Mails

Scammers today are sending increasingly sophisticated phishing emails with what appears to be your bank’s logo, tricking recipients into considering them legitimate. If an email asks you for your credit carddetails, like your PIN or CVV, know it’s fake. IndusInd Bank will never call or email you asking for sensitive information such as PIN, OTP, or CVV.

4. Always Use a Secure Network

Another important credit card safety tip is to refrain from disclosing your credit card or account number over a public Wi-Fi network. Public Wi-Fi is often unencrypted, leaving you vulnerable to hackers. This is because hackers can intercept such networks and steal your valuable information. Always connect to a secure network before engaging in a financial transaction.

5. Only Use HTTPS Websites

For online transactions, always use websites that have HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure) added in the URL. For example, the IndusInd Bank website URL (https://www.indusind.com) is a secure website.

HTTPS denotes that the site is protected and encrypts your data. This safeguards you from malicious hackers and secures your financial information when you engage in online transactions using your card.

6. Keep an Eye Out for Skimming Devices

Cyber frauds install ‘skimming devices’ on card readers, which collect card information while it is being swiped or inserted. Cybercriminals then recover the credit card data from these skimming devices and use it for fraudulent purchases. Therefore, if you ever suspect the machine is broken or misaligned, exercise caution before using your credit card; the device may have been tampered with by criminals.

Choose a Secure Banking Experience with IndusInd Bank

At IndusInd Bank, we are committed to delivering our customers a safe and secure banking experience with multiple safety features such as:

  • IndusInd Bank cards come with top-of-the-line credit card security feature of 256-bit Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology for safe online transactions.
  • A range of our credit cards, like the Nexxt Credit Card, Platinum Aura Edge Credit Card, Legend Credit Card, and Club Vistara Explorer Credit Card, come with chip-based contactless payment features. This feature offers an additional layer of security to your transactions using encryption and dynamic data technology.
  • Our credit cards come with a unique ‘Total Protect’ program, providing insurance coverage up to the credit limit on your card in case of any counterfeit fraud and unauthorised transactions.

To summarise, always exercise caution and follow the above-mentioned safety tips to avoid credit card scams. To get an IndusInd Bank credit card instantly, apply online today!
