When the income of both the applicants is added, DTI( Debt to income)  ratio gets lowered. DTI is the ratio of the total EMI of the month to the total monthly income. Even if the applicant’s credit score is low, he is eligible for the loan if the co- borrower’s credit score is high. An applicant gets better interest rates if a co-applicant is added. Co-borrowers’ good credit history can help negotiate with the lenders to negotiate the interest rates for the loan. However, defaulting on repayment can affect the credit score of the co-borrower. The co-borrower has to repay the loan if the first applicant fails to repay the loan. Only a few financial institutes allow joint lending, and the process takes time compared to a regular personal loan.
