Loan options
How much would you like to borrow?
Enter an amount between $5,000 up to $55,000.
How often would you like to make repayments?
You can choose to make weekly, fortnightly or monthly repayments.
How many years would you like to repay the loan over?
Select your loan term. This can be up to seven years.
Keep in mind:
- a shorter term means higher repayments of the loan amount as they're spread over less years
- a longer term means lower repayments of the loan amount, but more interest paid by the end of the loan term.
Would you like a fixed or variable interest rate?
Select a fixed or variable interest rate.
Fixed rate:
Your rate and repayments will stay the same during the fixed term, which can be helpful for budgeting as there are no fluctuations in the amount of your minimum repayment.
Variable rate:
Your rates can change at any time, so the amount of your minimum repayment might change. However, this option offers the flexibility to access a redraw facility, so if your circumstances change and you need money unexpectedly, you can redraw the extra funds you’ve paid.
