  • Income Proof: Recent payslips or bank statements. Why it’s needed: Assesses repayment ability (TDSR screening).
  • Guarantor Information (if applicable): Additional risk mitigation for borderline applicants.

II. Supplementary Materials (The Competitive Edge)

  • Asset Valuation Report: Real-time digital valuation via external database integration increases approval odds.
  • Insurance Proposal: Shows commitment to asset protection, often required for higher LTV ratios.
  • Dealer Stamp & Signature: Digitally attached for streamlined communication and compliance.
