It is never a good idea to take an unsecured loan—be it personal or credit card debt—unless you have exhausted other options. These are high-cost loans that can push you into a debt trap, affecting your credit score and financial goals. It is best to tap low-yield or dud investments for emergency needs. However, between credit-card debt and personal loan, the latter is a betteroption. Credit card interest rates can go up to 44 percent. As per data from Bankbazaar.com, ten cheapest personal loan interest offers range from 8.9-10.55 percent.
