Compare personal loan rates and fees
Your interest rate is based on several factors including information you provide in your application, your credit history and information we already have about you if you’re an existing customer.
After you submit your application, if you’re conditionally approved, we’ll give you an indicative interest rate. This is subject to verification of the information you give us in your application. We’ll provide your final interest rate in the loan documentation, at which point you can decide to accept the loan offer.

Our interest rates explained
Understanding the different types of interest rates will help you make an informed choice.
-
A fixed rate stays the same for the life of the loan, so your loan repayments will also stay the same.
A 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.
-
A 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.
-
If you have an excellent credit history, you may be offered a rate at the lower end of our range. For example, from 6.99% p.a. on variable or fixed rate loans (comparison rate 7.91% p.a.).
An excellent credit history can mean you haven’t opened many new lending products or increased your credit limits too often.
If you have credit accounts such as a credit card, personal loan or home loan and have made repayments on time, this will also positively affect your credit rating.
-
If your credit history isn’t long or as good, you’ll likely be offered a rate around 12.69% p.a. or higher on variable or fixed rate loans.

What is a personal loan?
Personal loans allow you to borrow a set amount of money to pay for something or consolidate debts. The amount you borrow must then be repaid in instalments, plus any interest or fees, over an agreed term.
Personal loans are commonly used to fund home renovations, travel, and big purchases like buying a boat, car or motorbike. Personal loans can also help fund a dream wedding day. When it comes to debt consolidation, a personal loan can be used to combine credit card debts and outstanding loans in one spot to help you manage repayments and take control of your finances.
How do unsecured personal loans work?
An unsecured personal loan means we don’t need any property or collateral to allow you to borrow. This is different from a secured loan, like a mortgage or secured car loan, where you use your home or car as security to borrow against.
Reasons to apply for a personal loan
A personal loan can be used for a wide variety of reasons: a car, a home renovation or a special event. What are you looking for?
