A personal loan is a sum of money obtained by an individual for a variety of reasons, including home renovations, debt consolidation, and wedding expenses. Furthermore, personal loans are typically provided by banks, credit unions, and online lending providers. Moreover, personal loans have lower interest rates than credit cards and can be used to combine several credit card bills into a single, lower-cost monthly payment. Personal loan terms and restrictions vary based on the lender and the borrower's credit history. Personal loans can have fixed or variable interest rates, and payback terms can range from a few months to several years.

The personal loan market in Saudi Arabia is expanding as a result of numerous causes. Personal loans are becoming increasingly popular as a result of the increased demand for residential properties from newcomers to the country and government measures to modernise the financial sector. The digitization of loan operations and quick approval procedures are also helping to drive market expansion. Furthermore, the introduction of new players in the personal finance industry creates lucrative opportunities for market expansion.

However, the KSA personal loan market faces its own set of issues. The Saudi Arabian Monetary Authority (SAMA) imposes stringent controls that limit loan availability. Personal loans in the country have high interest rates when compared to other countries, discouraging people with low incomes or bad credit from borrowing. Lenders have stringent requirements.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had an impact on the KSA personal loan industry through an economic slump, increased demand for personal loans, stricter lending standards, government support measures, digital transformation, and a focus on financial literacy. Individuals are finding it more difficult to repay or qualify for additional loans as a result of economic issues, job losses, and reduced incomes. Personal loans to cover basic needs, on the other hand, have seen an increase in demand. Lenders have been more cautious, resulting in more stringent creditworthiness evaluations. To mitigate the effects of the epidemic, the government implemented stimulus packages and assistance programmes. Online loan applications and remote disbursements were made possible by technological improvements. Furthermore, there has been a greater emphasis on financial literacy in order to enable individuals to make informed decisions about personal loans and other financial products.
