A fixed interest rate is a type of rate that stays the same for a set period of time. With personal loans, having a fixed interest rate generally means the rate will remain unchanged for the entire loan term.
A fixed-rate personal loan offers security and stability: your lender can't increase your rate as set out in your loan contract, and you only have to pay the amount of interest stated in your contract. This secures your repayment amounts for the loan period.
At Jacaranda Finance, we offer Express Personal Loans. We also offer fixed car loans - see our car loans page for more details on that!
We offer fixed-rate personal loans from $3,000 to $25,000 with loan terms up to 36 months, providing you with fixed repayments that make it easier to fit into your budget.

We Make Applying Easy

That’s why our loan application process has been perfected over time to be as simple and quick as possible.
Fixed rates and variable rates are the two main types of personal loan interest rates, and they both offer a distinct set of pros and cons that will vary according to each person. A fixed-rate loan, for example, might suit people who like to stick to a budget and want to make consistent repayments, but might not be the better option if interest rates are falling.
Variable rates, on the other hand, can be useful for people who are okay with taking a bit more of a risk and plan on paying off their loan in a shorter period of time.
Jacaranda Finance currently only offers fixed-rate loans.
Below is a short summary of the general pros and cons of fixed and variable interest rates:
| Fixed rates | Variable rates | |
|---|---|---|
| Pros | Protection from sudden market fluctuations No impact on your repayments if interest rates rise Easy to budget your repayments and set long-term financial goals. |
Repayment flexibility (often no fees for additional repayments or paying off the loan early) Easier to refinance (you can switch lenders if a better rate becomes available at no cost) Decreased repayments if interest rates drop More likely to have extra features |
| Cons | They can be inflexible (this could be a positive or a negative, depending on financial conditions) Disadvantage when interest rates drop as you could be paying more than necessary Possible penalties for additional repayments and for switching during the fixed term Possibly fewer features (such as a redraw facility) |
Higher repayments when interest rates increase Cash flow uncertainty (will you be able to afford a higher interest rate?) Could be more difficult to set accurate budgets for repayments and stick to them; Could be more difficult to plan financially for the future. |
In addition to our rapid applications1, fast outcomes2 and even faster transfers3, our fixed loans offer the following advantages:
It's true that fixed loans often make it difficult to pay above your minimum repayments - but not at Jacaranda Finance. With us, you can make extra repayments on top of your minimum and there are no fees for doing so. Just log in to your online account or speak to our customer service team to manage your repayments.
Say you come into some money and want to pay out your loan entirely ahead of schedule. Some lenders would charge you a fee for doing so, but not Jacaranda Finance.
With our fixed-rate loans, customers who pay their loan out early do not incur any additional fees or charges for doing so. As our loans are interest-bearing, the total interest paid will likely be lower by repaying your loan ahead of schedule.
Fixed fees that have already been incurred are due and payable.
Want to change the day of the week you make your regular loan repayments, such as your regular payday? Or do you want to make your repayments more frequently (say weekly instead of monthly) and save a bit of money doing so?
You can easily manage your personal loan repayments online 24/7, 365 days a year, thanks to our secured self-service customer portal. Repayments can be automatically deducted via direct debit, so all you need to do is make sure you have the money in your nominated bank account by the due date.

By submitting a full application for a personal loan, you are authorising a hard credit check. This means that other lenders will be able to see that you applied for a loan and could impact your credit score. Before you submit a full application with Jacaranda Finance, you can check if you qualify with no impact on your credit score*. This is called a soft credit check, and is only visible on your credit report to you.
How to check if you qualify for a secured personal loan?
If you’re considering applying for a loan with Jacaranda Finance, you can check if you qualify with no impact on your credit score*.
No, checking if you qualify uses a “soft” credit check meaning it does not impact your credit score or appear on your credit file to anyone but you. We recommend checking your eligibility before applying for a loan where possible to reduce the number of applications on your credit report.
