Personal-loan questions, without the brochure talk

Salaried, contract, commission and self-employed applicants may start by checking their situation. Actual eligibility depends on the applicable criteria and an individual look at income, work, commitments and supporting information.

The minimum repayment period is 6 months and the maximum is 84 months. The advertised annual interest rate starts at 4.50% p.a. Maximum APR, complete fees and a representative quote including all fees remain pending formal lender confirmation. Pending does not mean free of charge.

Not necessarily. Before applying again, understand whether eligibility, commitments, repayment history or documents may have affected the last outcome.
