10 Singapore Pawn Shops Near MRT Stations To Help Tide You Through Circuit Breaker

Undoubtedly, COVID-19 has taken a toll on every aspect of our lives. And while monetary relief has been given, for some, that might not be enough to sustain a prolonged period of time without a steady flow of income.

One way to get cash fast and legally is to pawn or sell high-value items to pawnshops. Other than jewellery, some pawnshops also allow you to pawn watches and luxury bags.

Pawnshops, or earlier know as pawnbroking has existed in Singapore since 1872. Pawnshops in Singapore went through a major overhaul in the 1980s. Gone were the abacus and paper records. Operations started to digitise, while still in keeping with the over-the-counter service in the pawnshops that we’re familiar with today.

While you can sell high-valued items, most pawnshops now exist for short-term monetary loans. Just like any type of loan, pawnshops do charge interest from 1-2% (dependent on the length of the loan) but compared to simply borrowing money from a bank, if you’re unable to pay off your loan after six months, your pawned item will be auctioned off and the money earned from the sale will be used to pay off the remainder of your debt.

So if you’re in need of some quick cash to tide you over this circuit breaker period, here’s a list of pawnshops at your nearest convenience—pawnshops in close proximity of MRT stations. However, despite pawnshops being allowed to operate during Circuit Breaker, do take note that not all pawnshops are in operation. We do suggest you drop them a call to avoid being disappointed.
