Multiple Small Loans and Credit Applications Can Affect Credit Scores
Taking multiple small loans or frequent credit applications can impact a borrower's credit score, even if EMIs are paid on time. Each loan application triggers a hard inquiry, which may lower the score temporarily, especially with several inquiries in a short period. Additionally, multiple active unsecured loans may signal heavy credit reliance, affecting loan approvals. However, consistent timely repayments can improve credit history over time, and a well-managed loan can strengthen credit profiles, particularly for those with limited credit history.
