According to Head of Growth Matthew Wong, this updated product is the latest example of the digital lender’s commitment to offering a product that meets the needs of our customers and enables them to book in bigger ticket items such as home renovations.

“Our personal loan is coming down in rate and up in loan amount to the point where we are now competing with many banks who are doing risk-based pricing,” Mr Wong said.

“We know that times are tough at the moment with the cost of living as high as it, and mortgage holders are particularly struggling due to consistent interest rate rises.

‘That’s why our customers can now access a personal loan interest rate with Jacaranda that’s around the market average.”

Money.com.au analysis of thousands of loan requests shows an average interest rate of 13.87% p.a in 2023 - just below Jacaranda’s new product offering.

According to Mr Wong, the typical Aussie often finds themselves locked out of accessing the finance they need for mid-sized expenses from the big banks.

“This is often true even if they are quite responsible with money,” he said.

“By lowering our interest rates and changing our maximum loan amount & loan terms, we’re giving these responsible Australians a competitive alternative if they need to borrow funds fast.

“Thanks to Comprehensive Credit Reporting, which Jacaranda is now a part of, customers who repay their loans on time, every time, can improve their credit scores quickly and unlock further financial opportunities in the future.”
