A personal loan should be assessed by considering the rate, comparison rate, establishment costs, ongoing fees, repayment amount and total amount repayable.
“The lowest advertised repayment may not always represent the
lowest total borrowing cost.”
Understanding Personal Finance
What Is a Personal Loan?
A personal loan is a consumer-credit product that allows an approved borrower to receive an agreed amount of money and repay it through regular instalments over a set period.
Personal loans may have fixed or variable rates and may be secured or unsecured. The loan amount, pricing, term and repayments depend on the lender, purpose and applicant’s financial position.
Fixed or variable rates
Secured or unsecured loans
Defined repayment term
Regular repayments
Approved personal purposes
Subject to credit assessment
Personal Loan Purposes
What Can a Personal Loan Be Used For?
Accepted loan purposes vary by lender. The following are common examples of personal expenses that may be considered.
Vehicle Purchase
Finance may be considered for an eligible car, motorcycle or another accepted personal vehicle.
Debt Consolidation
Combine selected eligible debts into one loan while carefully considering fees, terms and total interest.
Education Expenses
Eligible course fees, equipment or education-related costs may be considered depending on lender policy.
Travel and Events
Finance may be available for approved travel, wedding or major personal-event expenses.
Other Approved Expenses
Other accepted personal purposes may be considered based on the lender’s policy and your circumstances.
Loan Structures
Secured and Unsecured Personal Loans
The appropriate loan structure depends on the loan purpose, available security and lender requirements.
Secured Personal Loan
A secured loan uses an accepted asset as security. This may potentially affect the rate, loan amount or lender conditions.
- Security may include an eligible vehicle or another accepted asset.
- The lender may have requirements regarding the asset’s age and value.
- The secured asset may be at risk if repayments are not made.
Unsecured Personal Loan
An unsecured personal loan does not generally require a specific asset to be provided as security.
- Approval is based heavily on income, expenses, liabilities and credit history.
- Pricing may differ from secured lending.
- Loan limits and terms depend on lender policy.

Personal Loan Features and Costs to Review

A longer term may reduce regular repayments while increasing total interest paid.

Upfront and Ongoing Fees

Personal Loan Eligibility
What Lenders May Consider
Each lender applies its own assessment criteria. Approval, loan amount and pricing depend on your individual financial position.
Personal-loan approval is not guaranteed. Avoid committing to a
purchase until formal approval and relevant loan conditions have
been confirmed.

Living Expenses
Household expenses and recurring commitments affect repayment affordability.
Existing Liabilities
Credit cards, home loans, car loans and other debts are included in the assessment.
Credit History
Your repayment record, enquiries, defaults and credit conduct may influence the outcome.
Loan Purpose
The requested purpose must be acceptable under the lender’s personal-loan policy.
Residency and Visa Status
Citizenship, residency or visa requirements may differ between lenders.
Requested Amount
The requested amount is assessed against income, commitments and repayment capacity.
Security
For secured lending, the lender will also assess the proposed asset and its value.
Application Preparation

Required documents vary according to the applicant, lender, income type and loan purpose.

Borrow Responsibly and Consider the Full Repayment Commitment
Before taking a personal loan, consider whether the repayments remain affordable if household expenses increase or your financial circumstances change.
A personal loan should support a considered financial decision rather than create ongoing repayment pressure.
✓
Compare the total amount repayable, not only the advertised rate.
✓
Allow room in your budget for unexpected household expenses.
✓
Understand late-payment, early-payout and establishment fees.
✓
Avoid borrowing more than reasonably required for the approved
purpose.
✓
Consider whether another finance structure may better suit the
expense.
