Quick verdict

1-2 Lend holds licence 70/2026 and states a 3.5% admin fee with a 4.0% monthly rate, the legal maximum, for 1–12 month terms. A lower fee can mean more cash in hand, but the rate is not discounted, so total repayment is what decides it. 1-2 Lend is not currently offered through PickMeALoan: get its written quote, then use PickMeALoan to compare matched offers for the same amount.

Compare personal loans on PickMeALoan

1-2 Lend states a 3.5% flat admin fee, well below the 10% legal maximum, but charges 4.0% per month for 1–12 month terms, which is the legal cap. Whether that works out cheaper depends on the total repayment in a written offer, not the headline fee.

That is the reason to compare before you commit. Compare personal loan options through PickMeALoan to request offers from its participating licensed lenders in one application, then set 1-2 Lend’s written quote beside them for the same amount and repayment period. PickMeALoan is a commercial comparison and application platform, not the lender, and offers remain subject to each lender’s assessment.

What interest rate and fees does 1-2 Lend charge?

1-2 Lend is more open about its numbers than many lenders: it states the rate, fee, tenure and maximum amount. The figures below are its own statements, not a quote.

What 1-2 Lend states about cost

  • Stated interest rate

    Stated4.0%/ month

    Rate
    4.0% per month for terms of 1–12 months, as stated by 1-2 Lend; this is the legal maximum
    Ask for
    Your written rate, EIR, instalments and total repayment; 1-2 Lend says repeat borrowers with a good record may be offered better terms
  • Administrative fee

    Stated3.5%flat fee

    Stated fee
    3.5% flat, as stated by 1-2 Lend; its claim that this beats the market is not independently verified
    Legal maximum
    Up to 10% of principal when a loan is granted
  • Cash received

    IllustrationS$2,895from S$3,000

    Illustration
    S$3,000 principal, S$105 fee, S$2,895 received if the 3.5% fee is deducted upfront; arithmetic only, not an offer
    What decides it
    Your contract shows the actual fee, when it is charged and the amount disbursed
  • Tenure and amount

    Up to24months

    Stated tenure
    Flexible repayment of up to 24 months, as stated by 1-2 Lend
    Amount
    Unsecured amounts follow the legal ceilings below; six times monthly income applies only from S$20,000 annual income

These are 1-2 Lend's stated terms from earlier PickMeALoan research, not a personal quote. Confirm the rate, fee and schedule in your written offer.

The admin fee affects the cash you receive, while the rate affects every instalment. At the 4% cap a longer tenure adds interest quickly, so ask for the total repayment under more than one tenure. 1-2 Lend says borrowers with a good repayment history may be offered better terms on later loans. The Ministry of Law borrower guide caps total interest, late interest and fees at the loan principal.

How does 1-2 Lend compare with PickMeALoan’s participating lenders?

1-2 Lend is not currently offered through PickMeALoan, so its quote has to come from 1-2 Lend directly. PickMeALoan’s participating lenders include Best Licensed Moneylender, Credit Xtra, EZ Loan, SGP Credit and Singa Credit. Offers remain subject to each lender’s assessment.

What are 1-2 Lend’s strengths and limitations?

Strengths

  • States its rate, 3.5% admin fee and tenure up front
  • Says it holds one of six new licences granted since the 2012 moratorium
  • 13 loan categories, including cosmetic surgery, weight loss and Grab taxi loans
  • Ground-floor office next to Chinatown MRT
  • Borrowers describe a welcoming environment for first-time visitors

Limitations

  • The stated 4.0% monthly rate for 1–12 month terms is the legal maximum
  • Founded in December 2018, a shorter track record than long-running lenders
  • Exact Google review count not available
  • Closed on Sundays and public holidays

1-2 Lend had a 4.9-star rating on Roshi when recorded in May 2026, from a small review base. Borrowers talk most about the admin fee and patient staff, and describe same-day decisions. A lower fee is useful, but with interest at the cap, the total repayment is what to compare.

What can you borrow from 1-2 Lend, and who is eligible?

1-2 Lend lists 13 loan categories:

Personal Loans
General-purpose unsecured loans
Fast Cash Loans
Quick-turnaround financing for urgent needs
Business Loans
Working capital for business owners
Foreigner Loans
Dedicated product for work pass holders
Payday Loans
Short-term salary advance loans
Vacation Loans
Travel and holiday financing
Furniture Loans
Finance furniture purchases
Wedding Loans
Marriage and event expenses
Car Loans
Vehicle-related financing
Renovation Loans
Home improvement costs
Cosmetic Surgery Loans
Finance aesthetic procedures
Weight Loss Loans
Finance weight management programmes
Grab Taxi Loans
Specialised product for Grab drivers

The cosmetic surgery, weight loss and furniture categories are rarely listed by other moneylenders. A named product is not a better price, though: the same rate, fee and total-repayment checks apply. 1-2 Lend lists foreigner loans for work pass holders, subject to income-based limits.

For unsecured loans, the Ministry of Law borrower guide sets the total maximum amount you may borrow at any time across all licensed moneylenders in Singapore:

Unsecured borrowing caps across all licensed moneylenders

Singapore citizens and PRs

Annual income and total cap

Less than S$10,000
S$3,000
At least S$10,000 and less than S$20,000
S$3,000
At least S$20,000
Six times monthly income

Foreigners residing in Singapore

Annual income and total cap

Less than S$10,000
S$500
At least S$10,000 and less than S$20,000
S$3,000
At least S$20,000
Six times monthly income

These legal ceilings apply across all licensed moneylenders. They are not a guaranteed 1-2 Lend amount or approval. See the Ministry of Law borrower guide.

1-2 Lend states flexible repayment of up to 24 months and amounts up to six times monthly income for borrowers earning S$20,000 or more a year, which matches the legal ceiling above. Ask for the number of instalments, due dates and total repayment before accepting.

How does the 1-2 Lend application process work?

1-2 Lend takes enquiries by WhatsApp on +65 6493 0160 or by email at enquiry@12lend.sg, and applications at its People’s Park Complex office. The Ministry of Law Registry requires licensed moneylenders to verify your identity face to face at an approved place of business before granting a loan, so funds follow the office visit.

From enquiry to signing at People's Park Complex

  1. Start with an enquiry

    1-2 Lend takes WhatsApp and email enquiries, and applications at its People's Park Complex office.

  2. Get assessed

    Bring your NRIC or work pass, income proof and proof of address; 1-2 Lend describes a same-day decision, which is not a promise of approval.

  3. Sign in person

    Staff explain the rate, admin fee, schedule and total cost; funds follow face-to-face verification and signing.

1-2 Lend lists weekday and Saturday hours and closes on Sundays and public holidays. Confirm the hours before visiting.

Who may find 1-2 Lend useful?

  • Borrowers who want a lower upfront fee

    1-2 Lend's stated 3.5% admin fee is well below the 10% legal maximum, so more of the principal may reach you.

  • Borrowers needing a niche loan category

    It lists products for cosmetic surgery, weight management and furniture; the usual cost checks still apply.

  • Grab drivers needing financing

    It lists a dedicated Grab taxi loan; bring platform earnings records.

  • First-time borrowers who feel anxious

    Reviews describe a welcoming, non-threatening environment and patient staff.

1-2 Lend is at 1 Park Road, #01-13, People’s Park Complex, Singapore 059108, on the ground floor. From Chinatown MRT (NE4/DT19), take Exit A towards Park Road; the complex is next to the station. Do not confuse it with People’s Park Centre at 101 Upper Cross Street, a separate building nearby. It opens at 11:30 AM on weekdays and 12 PM on Saturdays, and closes on Sundays and public holidays.

What should you check before accepting a 1-2 Lend offer?

Five checks for a 1-2 Lend offer

  • Verify licence 70/2026 and 1 Park Road, #01-13 People's Park Complex on the current Ministry of Law list.
  • Confirm the 3.5% admin fee, whether it is deducted upfront and the cash you will receive, in writing.
  • Ask for the rate, EIR, number of instalments, tenure and total repayment; 4.0% per month is the legal maximum.
  • Go to People's Park Complex at 1 Park Road, not People's Park Centre at 101 Upper Cross Street.
  • Keep the Note of Contract and receipts, and do not disclose your Singpass password or pay an advance fee to an unsolicited contact.

1-2 Lend’s low fee is worth weighing, but its rate is at the legal cap. Treat its written offer as one quote and compare it with offers for the same amount and repayment period before you sign. If the repayment would leave too little for rent, food, utilities, transport or existing debts, pause and consider non-loan assistance or debt counselling first.
