Personal Loans, Explained Clearly

Discuss a planned purchase or expense and compare the repayments, fees and loan term against your budget.

Homeowner reviewing loan documents

Start with What You Need to Borrow

Work out the amount required, what you can contribute and how repayments fit with existing commitments. We can discuss the available options before you decide whether to apply.

Fixed and Variable Options

Ask how the rate, regular payment and early repayment conditions work on each option. Consider the fees and total amount repayable as well as the advertised rate.

Secured and Unsecured Borrowing

A secured loan uses an asset as security. An unsecured loan does not use a specific asset as security, but you still have a legal obligation to repay it. Understand the conditions and consequences before signing.

Documents and Assessment

A lender may request identity documents, evidence of income, account statements and details of your expenses and debts. Approval and the rate offered depend on the lender’s assessment.

Can I pay a personal loan off early?

Check the loan terms. Some loans allow additional payments, while others may charge an early repayment fee.

How quickly can I get an answer?

It depends on the lender and whether the required information is complete. We do not guarantee approval or a fixed turnaround time.

Can a personal loan combine debts?

It may be an option for eligible debts. Compare the total cost, term and fees, and consider whether the new repayments are affordable.
