Personal Loans

How does a Personal Loan work?

Personal loans allow you to borrow a lump sum of money from a lender with the agreement to repay the money over a set term – usually between 1-7 years, along with interest and fees.

These loans can be used for various purposes, like holidays, weddings, debt consolidation, home renovations, car purchases, or unexpected expenses.

Personal loans come with either fixed or variable interest rates. Fixed rates remain constant throughout the loan term, providing certainty over repayment amounts.

Variable rates fluctuate based on market conditions, meaning repayments can increase or decrease. Interest rates generally range from around 7% p.a. to over 20% p.a., determined by factors like the borrower’s credit score, income, expenses, and the loan amount.

Personal loans can be secured, where the borrower provides an asset like a car as collateral, or unsecured, where no collateral is required.

Secured loans tend to have lower interest rates, but the asset is at risk if the borrower defaults. Unsecured loans have higher rates but don’t require collateral. Some lenders may also offer lower rates if the borrower has a guarantor.

To qualify for a personal loan, applicants generally need to be over 18, Australian residents, have a steady income source, and have a good credit history.

The Personal Loan process

We act as an intermediary between borrowers and lenders, and our role is to help you find and secure the most suitable personal loan by comparing options across multiple lenders.

Step 1

The process typically begins with you providing one of our brokers with details about your financial situation, including income, expenses, existing debts, and credit history. The broker uses this information to assess which lenders and loan products may be the best fit.

Initial Consultation

Step 2

With access to a wide panel of lenders, we can compare interest rates, fees, loan amounts, repayment terms and other factors from different providers. Our expertise and industry relationships allow us to negotiate better deals that you may not be able to access directly.

Documentation and Application

Step 3

We then present you with a curated selection of the most competitive personal loan options that fully align with your needs and eligibility. This saves you considerable time and effort compared to researching and applying with multiple lenders individually.

Lender Negotiation and Pre Approval Amount

Step 4

Once you choose a preferred loan option, we’ll assist with the application process, ensuring all required documentation is submitted correctly to the lender. We will act as the main point of contact between you and the lender throughout this stage.

Exploring Loan

Step 5

If the loan application is approved, you’ll receive the funds directly from the lender and then make repayments to that lender as per the agreed terms.

Settlement

Step 6

But our assistance continues after loan approval. We’ll keep you updated on how you’re tracking with your loan repayments and assist you with potential refinancing options should your financial circumstances change. To us, you’re not just another ticked off transaction in our books – you’re a client for life.
