Rates & Fees
Our loans are designed to be fast, fair, and, above all, affordable, with no hidden fees. See the table below for a quick guide to our charges, or visit our fees page to learn more. For detailed information about who our products are designed for, please review our Target Market Determinations.
Comparison Rate
A comparison rate allows you to understand the more accurate cost of taking out a loan. It includes the loan's interest rate plus some associated fees and charges.
It's a legal requirement for lenders in Australia to display the comparison rate whenever an individual rate is displayed. A high comparison rate could be an indication of high hidden fees. See also: Interest rates vs comparison rates.
Unsecured
Secured or
Unsecured
A secured loan is a type of loan that requires security, also known as collateral. An unsecured loan does not.
Since your security can be repossessed by the lender if you cannot make your repayments, secured loans generally come with higher loan amounts and more competitive loan terms. See 'secured vs unsecured loans' for more information.
Establishment Fees
An establishment fee (or application fee) is the one-off, upfront fee a lender charges for submitting your application. It covers the costs of assessing your application and paying the staff to do so.
This fee is charged as a standard rate based on how much you're applying for. Read 'personal loan fees explained' for more information.
Monthly Fees
The monthly fee is an ongoing fee charged to cover the administration costs of managing your loan. This fee will be debited monthly and will depend on the amount you borrow plus the term of your loan. Read 'personal loan fees explained' for more information.
Risk Fee
Also known as a credit fee or risk margin, the risk fee covers the level of risk associated with your loan. Risk fees vary based on a number of factors, primarily your loan amount, credit score, financial history and more.
