Reasons for a personal loan for debt consolidation


If you’re paying off more than one debt it can be stressful and hard to manage. A debt consolidation loan may:

  • simplify your commitments with a single repayment – meaning you’ll have a better idea of when you’ll be debt free

  • free up cash by reducing debt repayments

  • allow you to take advantage of a good deal with lower rates or fees

  • remove the stress of having to manage multiple payments with multiple providers.

You can use our debt consolidation calculator to see how combining your existing debts (not including any home loan debt) into a single loan could you give more certainty and control.

Compare personal loan rates and fees

We offer a range of rates on our personal loans. The interest rate you are offered is based on your personal circumstances. We decide your rate based on:

  • your banking history with NAB
  • information you provide in your application, including income, assets, debts and expenses
  • your credit history report including your credit score.

After you submit your application, we’ll give you an indicative interest rate if you’re conditionally approved. This is subject to verification of the information you give us in your application.

Once we’ve verified your information, we’ll give you the loan documentation setting out your interest rate and other important information. Keep in mind that the rate shown in the loan documentation is subject to change and may be different on the day of settlement.

Our interest rates explained

Understanding the different types of interest rates will help you make an informed choice.

  • fixed rate stays the same for the life of the loan, so your loan repayments will also stay the same.

    variable rate can go either up or down over the life of the loan – this means your minimum repayment may change. A variable rate loan also gives you access to a redraw facility, so if you need money unexpectedly you can redraw extra funds you’ve paid.

  • comparison rate is used to help you identify the true cost of the loan, including the interest and some fees and charges. This makes it easier to compare the overall cost of different loans.

    When you read comparison rates, take note of the loan amount and term that they are based on. These affect the comparison rate and you want to be comparing apples with apples.
