Debt Consolidation Plan (DCP)
From now to 30 June 2021, you can extend the loan tenor of your existing Debt Consolidation Plan for up to 5 years.
This option is available for borrowers whose repayments are between 30 and 90 days past due at the point of application.
The extension in the loan tenor of the DCP will not cause the loan to be reflected as a restructured loan in your credit bureau report.

As loan tenor extensions will result in higher overall interest costs, we encourage you to carefully consider the accumulated interest costs you will eventually have to bear, and balance this against your need for temporary cashflow relief.
