Pros and cons

Pros

  • One rate for everyone. Everyone approved gets 9.99%, 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 higher starting rate. Its comparison rate starts at 10.21%, above the typical 7.99%, so it's likely to cost more than most similar loans unless you're offered less.
  • A lower limit. Up to $80,000, less than the typical $130,000, so it may not cover a larger purchase.
  • A variable rate. Your repayments can rise if the lender lifts its rate, though they can also fall.
  • Secured against an asset. That usually keeps the rate down, but the lender can take the asset if you can't repay.
