Pros and cons
Pros
- A lower starting rate. Its comparison rate starts at 7.69%, below the typical 10.56%, and the comparison rate counts the standard fees too, so it's a fair guide to a lower overall cost.
- One rate for everyone. Everyone approved gets 17.00%, so the rate you see is the rate you get.
- Room to borrow more. Up to $75,000, more than the typical $50,000, which can cover bigger costs in one loan.
- A fixed rate. Your repayments stay the same for the whole loan, which makes it easier to budget.
- No security needed. Your car or home isn't at risk if things go wrong, though missed repayments still hurt your credit report.
- Extra repayments. Paying more than the minimum pays the loan off sooner and cuts the interest you pay.
- 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.
- A soft check on your rate. You can see the rate you'd get without it showing on your credit report.
Cons
- A $22 late payment fee. Setting up automatic repayments avoids it.
