Your Questions, Answered

How much can I borrow?

The amount you can borrow depends on your income, expenses, and what you can comfortably afford to repay. It’s worked out based on your financial situation.

What are the interest rates?

Interest rates vary based on factors like your credit profile, income, and financial history. A good credit profile may mean a lower rate, but rates depend on your circumstances.

Current fixed interest rates range from 7.95% p.a. to a maximum of 29.95% p.a. on a minimum 12 month to a maximum 60-month loan term. The actual interest rate charged to you will depend on your circumstances, the type of lending required, the security provided, and the lender.

What are the fees?

Fees include Establishment Fees and Introducer Fees, and sometimes ongoing account or other fees. Review all fees upfront so you know what to expect before applying.

How long are loan terms?

Loan terms typically range from one to five years, depending on the loan type and what works best for your budget and timeline.

Can I repay my loan early?

Yes, most loans allow early repayments or lump-sum payments, but some lenders may charge early repayment fees and apply other limitations. It’s best to check this before settling.

Does applying for a loan affect my credit score?

Exploring your options doesn’t impact your credit. Only when you proceed with a lender and a full credit check is done will it be recorded on your credit file.

What can I use a personal loan for?

Personal loans can cover a wide range of needs—from travel, weddings, and education to home improvements or consolidating existing debt into one repayment.

How does debt consolidation work?

Debt consolidation combines multiple debts into one repayment. It can simplify your finances, reduce stress, and may lower interest or fees—depending on your terms, fees, and profile. Lower repayments from a longer term can mean more interest overall. Approval is subject to lending criteria and responsible-lending (affordability) checks. Fees apply.

What can a vehicle loan be used for?

Vehicle loans cover cars, boats, motorbikes, and caravans—or even repairs and upgrades. If it has wheels or floats, a vehicle loan can help make it happen.

How quickly can I get the funds?

Timeframes vary but with complete information, approval can be same-day. Approval is subject to meeting lending criteria, and affordability test applies. Once approved and all documents signed, funds are often available the same or next day (depending on the lender’s process).

What if I miss a repayment?

If you miss a repayment, it’s important to contact your lender right away. Fees may apply, and it could impact your credit score, so communication is key.

Are loans secured or unsecured?

Loans can be either secured (using an asset like a car as collateral) or unsecured. The right choice depends on your financial situation and preferences.
