Example output
We are unable to approve your application for personal financing at this time. The main reasons are: 1. Your existing monthly commitments are high compared with your income, so the new repayment would take you above the level our lending policy allows. 2. Our records show two missed payments on an existing facility in the last six months. 3. Your credit history is shorter than 12 months. You can ask us to review this decision within 30 days by visiting any branch or calling our contact centre. Reducing existing commitments and keeping all repayments up to date for six months would help a future application.
