Good to know

If approved, the money could be in your account the same day, 9am-8.30pm, or before 9am the next working day.

Repayment holidays – Once you've made the first monthly repayment on your loan, you’ll have the option to apply for a repayment holiday. You can apply for up to two non-consecutive repayment holidays of one month each, in a rolling 12-month period (subject to approval).

Just be aware – even though you won’t need to make your usual repayment during your repayment holiday, we’ll still charge daily interest on your loan. This means you’ll pay more overall, and your loan’s end date will be extended by one month each time.

Make extra payments with no extra charges.

Pay off your loan early if you want. We may charge up to 58 days' interest for early settlement.

  • A car loan is a personal loan, so you don’t have to use it to buy a car. Once the money is in your account, you can use it for just about anything, although there are some restrictions. We can’t issue loans intended for:

    • Gambling
    • Investments, such as stocks, shares and crypto currency
    • Business reasons
    • Land or property – buying, leasing or paying a deposit
    • Timeshare or Holiday clubs
    • Anything illegal
  • Getting a personalised quote with us does not use a credit check or affect your credit score. 

    When you apply for a car loan, we will perform a credit check. This is to help us understand how likely you are to pay the loan back. Learn more about how credit checks work.
