Personal loans allow you to borrow a set amount of money to pay for something or consolidate debts. The amount you borrow must then be repaid in instalments, plus any interest or fees, over an agreed term.
Personal loans are commonly used to fund home renovations, travel, and big purchases like buying a boat, car or motorbike. Personal loans can also help fund a dream wedding day. When it comes to debt consolidation, a personal loan can be used to combine credit card debts and outstanding loans in one spot to help you manage repayments and take control of your finances.
-
An unsecured personal loan means we don’t need any property or collateral to allow you to borrow. This is different from a secured loan, like a mortgage or secured car loan, where you use your home or car as security to borrow against. Learn more about secured and unsecured loans.

Our interest rates explained
Understanding the different types of interest rates will help you make an informed choice.
-
A fixed rate stays the same for the life of the loan, so your loan repayments will also stay the same.
A variable rate can go either up or down over the life of the loan – this means your minimum repayment may change. A variable rate loan also gives you access to a redraw facility, so if you need money unexpectedly you can redraw extra funds you’ve paid.
-
A comparison rate is used to help you identify the true cost of the loan, including the interest and some fees and charges. This makes it easier to compare the overall cost of different loans.
When you read comparison rates, take note of the loan amount and term that they are based on. These affect the comparison rate and you want to be comparing apples with apples.
