HOW NAB’S HELPING PERSONAL LOAN CUSTOMERS

As many of our customers deal with the growing challenges of COVID-19 (Coronavirus), our priority is clear: to support you in any way we can. Please see below the options we have available to assist you with your personal loan.

Are you Ahead of your personal loan repayments?

If you’re ahead on your personal loan repayments, then you might be able to reduce your current repayments or use your redraw to get access to additional money. For customers wanting to apply to reduce their minimum payment to $100 per month, please call 1300 683 106.

Reducing your personal loan repayment

To make it easier to manage your personal loan, customers can apply for a reduction in their personal loan repayment for up to six months.

To do this, please call 1300 683 106 to discuss your options.

NAB reserves the right to vary or end the repayment reduction support offer at any time.

How a repayment reduction works

  • Customers can apply to reduce their loan repayments to $100 per month for up to six months by calling 1300 683 106. We’ll get in touch with you before the end of the repayment reduction period to discuss your options.
  • Depending on your current repayment frequency, we’ll reduce your repayment amount to $25 weekly, $50 fortnightly or $100 monthly.
  • Repayments will be adjusted depending on whether the loan has loan funded insurance:
    • a loan without insurance will adjust to $25 weekly, $50 fortnightly or $100 monthly
    • a loan with loan funded insurance will adjust to $25 weekly, $50 fortnightly or $100 monthly plus the amount required to cover the monthly insurance premium.
  • During a reduced repayment period, interest on your loan continues to be calculated and accrues in accordance with your loan contract.

Further support

Please call NAB Customer Care on 1300 683 106 between Monday to Friday 8am-8pm or Saturday 9am-1pm (AEST/AEDT) if you wish to discuss:

  • where you have more than one NAB Personal Loan account and want to reduce repayments for some but not all your accounts
  • if you need to reduce your repayments for more than six months or are unable to pay the reduced repayment
  • if you require hardship assistance and additional support, you can submit a request for support online with our specialist team.

Please note:

After the reduced repayment period ends, you’ll be required to bring your account up to date over the remaining term of the loan. This will result in repayments being adjusted (i.e. the amount required may be higher than current repayments and will incur a higher amount of interest over the life of the loan).
