A secured loan is a method of borrowing money that requires you to attach an asset (also referred to as collateral) to your loan. This asset is something of value that the lender will use to cover the cost of a loan in the event that it fails.
When you apply for our secured car loan, we will require that you attach the car you’re buying to your loan.
Currently, Jacaranda Finance does not offer unsecured car loans, as the car that you received the loan for will become the security. We do, however, provide unsecured personal loans.

We Make Applying Easy
We know how important it is to receive your funds in a timely manner. As a hard-working Australian, you don’t have time to waste on needless paperwork.
That’s why our loan application process has been perfected over time to be as simple and quick as possible.
There are additional documents we may require about the car, depending on whether you’re buying through a dealership or a private sale. Dealerships generally require fewer documents due to the reduced risk to both the borrower and the lender. See our page on car loans through private sales vs dealerships for more information on the documents we need.
Get in touch with us if you have any questions about whether the car you want is likely to be eligible.Our fast secured car loans can be used for all kinds of different purchases. We also offer personal loans for car repairs if you need money to fix your car.
You can get a brand new car as well as used ones with a secured Jacaranda Finance car loan, whichever suits you best. It doesn’t matter what model it is: as long as it fits within our criteria, you could get a car loan for it with Jacaranda Finance.
A car loan is a fixed-term loan used specifically for buying a car. We pay the seller directly then you repay the amount you’ve borrowed through regular installments.

With a Jacaranda Finance car loan, you can borrow up to $3,000-$30,000 and pay it back over 25 months - 48 months.
By submitting a full application for a car 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.

It depends on how much you’re borrowing.
At Jacaranda Finance, if you’re looking to borrow less than $10,000, comprehensive insurance isn’t required as a condition of the loan – although we strongly recommend having appropriate cover to protect yourself and your vehicle.
If you're looking to borrow $10,000 or more, you’ll need to have comprehensive car insurance before your loan can be finalised. This is because your car is used as security for the loan, it must be protected against damage, theft, accidents or write-off. Before your loan can be finalised, you’ll need an active comprehensive insurance policy with at least $10,000 in cover. Your insurance needs to start from the day you take possession of the vehicle.
Is third-party insurance enough for a car loan?
If you’re looking to borrow less than $10,000, comprehensive car insurance is not a requirement for your loan. If you’re looking to borrow $10,000 or more, you must have comprehensive insurance, which covers damage to your own vehicle as well as other vehicles and property.
If you have any questions about what level of car insurance you require, including if you’re unsure whether your current car insurance policy meets these requirements, get in touch with our friendly customer support team.
Once you’ve been approved and have accepted your loan contract, we’ll automatically attempt to release the money to your account. Most customers get paid in 60 seconds3.
Using our loan repayment calculator you can estimate your repayments before applying.
Missed Payment Fees
For every missed payment, a fee will be applied. This cost is added to the account balance and can be paid with the next repayment cycle. If you’re concerned you’ll miss a repayment before the next due date, please contact our customer support team as soon as possible.
