MAS Motor Vehicle Financing Restrictions
The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) introduced motor vehicle financing restrictions to encourage financial prudence and reduce excessive borrowing risks in vehicle purchases. The framework establishes loan-to-value (LTV) limits and maximum financing tenures for motor vehicle loans granted by regulated financial institutions. For private passenger vehicles, financing limits are linked to vehicle Open Market Value (OMV), while loan tenure restrictions are intended to support responsible financing behavior and financial stability. Insights Site references regulatory developments such as these to better understand how financing workflows, approval behavior, and automotive finance ecosystems evolve in practice.
