10 Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is debt consolidation?
Debt consolidation involves taking out one new personal loan to pay off multiple existing debts, ideally at a lower overall interest rate.
2. Secured vs Unsecured personal loans?
Secured loans require an asset (like a car) as collateral and have lower rates. Unsecured loans do not require collateral but cost more.
3. Does applying affect my credit score?
Yes, submitting an application leaves a "hard inquiry" on your credit file, which can temporarily lower your score.
4. Can I pay off my personal loan early?
Variable rate personal loans usually allow unlimited extra repayments. Fixed rate loans may charge break fees.
5. What is a good credit score in Australia?
According to Equifax, a score between 622-725 is Good, 726-832 is Very Good, and 833-1200 is Excellent.
6. What are establishment fees?
An upfront fee charged by the lender to process and set up the loan. It is usually added to the loan amount.
7. How does the comparison rate help?
It merges the interest rate and fees into a single figure, making it easier to compare the true cost of different loans.
8. What is the maximum I can borrow?
Most Australian unsecured personal loans max out between $50,000 and $75,000, depending on your income.
9. Can a personal loan be used for anything?
Mostly yes (weddings, holidays, medical), but lenders generally restrict using personal loans for business purposes.
10. What happens if I miss a payment?
You will incur late fees and it will be recorded on your Comprehensive Credit Reporting (CCR) file.
