Household Loan Open Run Ignited by Aggregate Limits, What Are the Strategies for Real Demand Borrowers?

As the household loan aggregate limit takes full effect, the forecast of drastic reductions in mortgage and credit loan limits has led to an intensifying 'loan open run' across the nation, with real demand borrowers flocking to bank branches. Anxiety is peaking especially among homebuyers needing final payment loans ahead of the autumn moving season, raising fears of a complete loan shutdown in the financial sector.

Background of Loan Limit Reductions and Market Impact Analysis

To control the rapid pace of household debt growth and prevent excessive funds from flowing into the real estate market, financial authorities recently strongly urged banks to strictly manage their annual loan aggregate targets. In response, major commercial banks have significantly raised the threshold for loans by consecutively raising lending rates and restricting loans for multiple home owners.

In the market, as banks set monthly loan limits, a first-come, first-served loan competition is unfolding, where limits are exhausted as soon as loan applications open on the 1st of every month. Real demand borrowers are lining up before business hours or trying to secure loans through non-face-to-face apps from dawn, even experiencing system paralysis and facing severe disruptions in funding.

Core FAQ Related to Household Loan Open Run

Q1. What should I do if I am rejected by the bank right before my final payment loan?

If the limits of tier 1 financial institutions are exhausted, you should first look into loan products from tier 2 financial sectors (insurance companies, mutual finance, etc.). Alternatively, as there is a possibility that financial authorities may announce guidelines for exceptions for real demand borrowers, it is important to check if you are eligible for policy mortgages.

Q2. How long is the aggregate loan limit regulation expected to last?

With the authorities' firm stance on curbing household debt, conservative lending operations are expected to be maintained until the end of this year. The regulatory intensity may worsen as banks' lending capacity remains insufficient for the remaining quarters.

Q3. Why are loan rates rising despite expectations of interest rate cuts?

Despite the drop in market interest rates, banks are artificially raising loan rates by increasing spread rates or abolishing prime rates in line with the financial authorities' pressure to manage household debt. This is interpreted as a temporary measure to suppress demand.
