Am I qualified to apply for BSN MyRinggit (Public Sector) personal loan if I'm blacklisted?
Depending on your credit history with other financial institutions, all this information (outstanding credit card, personal loan, home loan, or car loan debts) will be captured in CCRIS/CTOS (a system that collects credit information on borrowers, not blacklisting them).
Assuming you have poor credit standing due to irregular payments, the best course would be to break the habit and start making your payments on time to avoid future hurdles.
BSN is more likely to approve your BSN MyRinggit (Public Sector) application if you can show that you are managing your finances, rather than accumulating more debt.
