What is a hire purchase?
A hire purchase is when you take out a fixed period loan from us and we purchase a vehicle or equipment on your behalf. You have the use of the vehicle or equipment while you're paying off the loan.
At the end of the loan term, when the loan is completely paid (including interest), ownership will transfer from us to you. This may be good option if you’re wanting to purchase a vehicle or piece of equipment, but don’t have the money to pay for it upfront.

-
You have the freedom to choose new or used vehicle, from a dealer or a private seller (as long as they have an ABN and are registered for GST).
If you want to make several vehicle or equipment purchases annually, we can set you up with a limit to save you reapplying. Contact a NAB Equipment Finance Specialist to find out more.
-
If you’ve already paid for the vehicle or equipment, it’s not too late – we may be able to buy it from you, reimburse the cost, and you can hire it from us.
-
Some customers may be able to claim input tax credits for GST included in the price of the vehicle or equipment, interest and related fees.
We recommend that you seek independent tax advice.

Once you've made the final payment, you'll become the owner of the vehicle or equipment.
