Pros and cons

Pros

  • One rate for everyone. Everyone approved gets 9.09%, so the rate you see is the rate you get.
  • Redraw. You can take back extra repayments later if you need the money.
  • No early repayment fee listed. You can pay the loan off early, or refinance, without a penalty. Check the terms to be sure.

Cons

  • A $10 monthly fee. That adds $600 over 5 years, as well as the interest.
  • A variable rate. Your repayments can rise if the lender lifts its rate, though they can also fall.
  • A $20 late payment fee. Setting up automatic repayments avoids it.
