Understanding if a personal loan is right for you

A personal loan allows you to borrow funds for one-off personal and household purchases or debt consolidation. This comes in an upfront lump sum.

A credit card is useful for daily expenses, monthly bills or small purchases. You’ll be given a specific limit that you can spend up to with a credit card.

Learn more about choosing between a credit card or personal loan to find the credit product best suited to your needs.

What a personal loan may be ideal for

  • Large personal or household expenses

  • Vehicles (new or used)

  • Travel

  • Home renovation

  • Major cosmetic, medical or dental expenses

What you can’t use a personal loan for

  • Illegal activites

  • Business purposes. Explore our business loans or discuss further with your business banker

  • Lender's Mortgage Insurance (LMI)

  • Home loan deposit

It’s important that you’re able to comfortably make repayments. When evaluating your ability to repay the amount you asked to borrow, we’ll review your creditworthiness and take steps to ensure you’re not approved for a loan amount outside your means.

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.
