    • Applying as a sole applicant. You’ll have all the repayment obligations, even if someone else will be receiving a substantial benefit from the loan.

Frequently asked questions

  • Yes, your credit score will be impacted once you submit your loan application.

  • We show a range of possible rates because everyone’s personal loan rate is different. Your rate depends on things like your banking history with NAB, income, expenses, debts and credit history. Your final rate will be based on your own financial situation.

    When you apply, we look at your application and, if you’re conditionally approved, we will provide an estimated interest rate before you decide to continue. Once your information is checked, your final rate will be confirmed in your loan documents. Keep in mind that the rate shown in the loan documentation is subject to change and may be different on the day of settlement.

  • Debt consolidation means combining several debts, like credit cards or personal loans, into one new loan with one regular repayment.

    Refinancing means replacing an existing loan with a new one. People usually refinance to get a better rate, new features, or to move to another lender.

  • Examples of debts you can’t consolidate:

    • Home loans 
    • Business debt 
    • Property or asset loans 
    • Unverified debts
    • HECS-HELP debt
  • Our debt consolidation personal loan can support you to simplify your debts, whether your loans are with NAB, another lender or a combination of both.

    Even if none of your debts are with NAB, you can still apply for a personal loan with us – you’ll just need to provide the details of those debts as part of your application.
