Personal loans

A loan you could use for almost anything. It's for what you need, when you need it most.

Understanding personal loans

Before you borrow money, take some time to think about:

  • Is a personal loan right for you?
  • How much to borrow?
  • Tips to pay off your loan
  • Support if you face financial stress
  • Joint loans, and what happens if someone can’t or won’t pay.

Simple, flexible and easy to manage

Interest on your loan

Interest

We calculate interest daily, and either charge it to your loan or to an ANZ account (depending on the repayment type on your loan) monthly in arrears on the first business day of the month.


Default interest

If you do not make repayments when they are due, we can charge you on those amounts at the default interest rate. 


Other options

Flexible ways to manage your money and debts

We have a range of options to suit different needs. Whether it’s borrowing to combine debts, borrowing to pay for the things you need or having a back-up for emergencies and unexpected expenses.
