Any Loan Type

Home loans, car loans, personal loans, debt consolidation, bike, boat, caravan, truck and business finance. Submitting your initial enquiry with us will not create an entry on your credit file, but if you choose to proceed with a lender or broker they may conduct a credit check as part of their application process.

Multiple lenders

When you submit an online loan enquiry with us, we use your details to complete an initial eligibility pre-assessment against the lending criteria of brokers and lenders in our national referral network. This is not a comparison of every personal loan in the market, but it helps identify participating providers who may be able to assist.

No credit check

Unlike many online loan websites, submitting your initial finance enquiry with us will not create an entry on your credit file. However, if you choose to proceed with a lender or broker after your enquiry, they may conduct a credit check in line with their application process. Multiple credit file entries can make it more difficult to obtain a loan and can severely limit your options.

Please Note: Submitting your enquiry with us will not result in an entry recorded on your credit file. However, if you choose to proceed with a lender or broker, they may conduct a credit check in line with their application process

Warning to Borrowers: Unsecured personal loans

The following information is specific to unsecured personal loans.

Minimum period for repayment 6 months, maximum period 5 years.

The maximum Annual Percentage Rate (APR) including all fees and charges is 36% for small, shorter term loans. Longer term loans for larger amounts may be available for an APR of 15% or lower.

For example, a $1000 loan over 6 months could require a fortnightly repayment amount of as much as $96.92 including total costs (interest fees and charges) of $260 in addition to the amount that you borrowed.

Secured loans such as home loans, car loans, etc. are usually a much cheaper finance option. The interest rate will be different depending on what you are financing. For example, home loan interest rates will be typically lower than for a car, boat, caravan or truck loan.
