HOW MUCH CAN I BORROW WITH A NAB PERSONAL LOAN FOR A CAR?

You can borrow between $5,000 and $55,000 with a term between one and seven years. If approved, you’ll receive the amount as a lump sum at the beginning of the loan term.

WHAT ARE MY CAR REPAYMENT OPTIONS WITH A NAB PERSONAL LOAN?

Depending on how you like to budget, your repayments can be weekly, fortnightly or monthly. You can also make additional lump sum repayments at no extra charge – meaning you can pay off your loan early with no fees. You can repay your loan by setting up a direct debit using NAB Internet Banking, transferring funds via NAB Telephone Banking, or in person at your nearest NAB branch.

OUR INTEREST RATES EXPLAINED

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.

Fixed rates versus variable rate

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.

Comparison rate

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.

Our best rates

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%*).

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.

Our average rates

If your credit history isn’t long or as good, you’ll likely be offered a rate around 12.69% p.a. (comparison rate 13.56%*) or higher on variable or fixed rate loans.
