Why do banks refuse to give loans? 7 common reasons
Banks refuse to give loans or mortgages for various reasons, and it's important to understand them to know how to deal with them. The most common reasons for rejection:
Problematic Credit History
Payment delays, previous debts or enforcement files make it difficult to obtain new credit.
High Repayment Ratio to Income
When monthly repayments exceed 30-40% of available income, banks tend to refuse.
Unstable Income
Non-permanent work, unemployment periods, or unreported income harm financial credibility.
Insufficient Collateral
Lack of assets, guarantors or other securities that would guarantee loan repayment in case of difficulty.
Negative Credit Data
Bounced checks, Bank of Israel restrictions or other negative credit events affect the rating.
Insufficient Coverage Ratios
In the case of businesses, when cash flow is not sufficient to cover the loan comfortably.
Advanced Age
Loan applicants over 60 sometimes encounter difficulties due to banks' concerns about long-term repayment ability.
Expert Tip ๐ก
There are banks with different criteria. Sometimes, what was rejected at one bank can be accepted at another. Don't despair from a first rejection!
