Flood, Fire, or Storm Damage—How Emergency Loans Step In

Illustrated guide on loan for emergency for flood, fire, and storm-related expenses

Sandhya is a smart financial investor and has all his investments and SIPs on track. She even has medical and term life insurance to protect her family in case of any emergency or unplanned expense.
Now you might think Sandhya has done everything to secure his home and family, right? Well, there is one thing missing from his financial plan: planning for unplanned emergencies.
Just when you think you have done everything right, a flood, a fire, or a storm can sweep through, leaving behind damage you never thought you’d face. The financial burden it can leave behind can be tremendous, but the emotional toll is as significant. 
This is when an emergency loan can come in handy, giving you access to the funds that you desperately need in such situations.

What Exactly Is an Emergency Loan?

Illustrated examples of when to use emergency loans, from housing repairs to urgent medical or travel needs  

An emergency loan is similar to a personal loan. It is unsecured, which means you do not pledge your home or other property. This makes the process simple and fast. 
The money goes directly into your bank account, and you can use it for anything, like:
•    Repairs: Pay for a new roof, fix electrical systems, or restore fire damage
•    Temporary Living: Cover rent or hotel costs
•    Medical Bills: Pay for injuries from the disaster
•    Replacements: Buy new furniture or clothes
With Hero FinCorp, you can check your eligibility instantly and get access to funds quickly through the instant personal loan app.

Why Is an Emergency Loan a Good Choice?

In times of calamity, one might consider borrowing from family or using a credit card.
However, in most cases, these are not reliable or come with high interest rates. An emergency loan makes sense here as:
•    Fixed Repayments: Interest rates on credit cards are frequently high and change over time. You receive a set interest rate and consistent monthly payments when you take out an emergency loan. This is perfect for financial planning.
•    Quick Processing: Online emergency loans are fast. You can apply online and get approval in minutes with minimal paperwork. No need for any physical documentation.
•    Zero Collateral: Even in times of duress, you can get peace of mind since your home or other assets are not at risk.

3.    Apply Online: Once the verification process is complete, complete the application and proceed with the loan processing. 

Tips to Strengthen Your Emergency Loan Approval Chances

Although emergency loans are faster and require minimal paperwork, approval depends on multiple factors.
Here are a few ways to improve your chances of approval:
•    Maintain a good credit score of 750 or higher if possible
•    Pay off all outstanding EMIs on schedule, at least for the previous three months.
•    Maintain up-to-date income documentation, such as pay stubs, bank statements, or other financial records.
•    Avoid applying for more than one loan at once, as this will lower your credit score.
