With millions of Australians locked down for multiple months, for some almost the entire winter season, the opportunities to get out and about to buy major goods has been a no-no. Spirits have been deflated and many are looking to uplift their frame of mind with that special purchase for themselves in time for the Christmas holiday season. With the run into Christmas pretty much upon us and stock of some items in short supply, placing orders or purchasing now could be a good moves.
Global supply chains especially the shortage of computer chips, has resulted in production shutdowns and pauses in many overseas manufacturing plants. These include for motor vehicles, motorbikes and components and parts required by local manufacturers of caravans and boats.
With order books filling, buyers wanting to secure the goods of their choice need to make decisions and take action quickly. Fortunately, we don’t have delays in regards to loans with quick quotes, fast approvals and prompt settlements across our consumer loan portfolio.
Adding to the appeal of indulging oneself in a special buy to make up for what has been a pretty ordinary year on many fronts, is the current low interest rate lending scene. The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) which effectively determines without actually setting the lender rates, has left the official cash rate on hold at a historic low since November 2020. The official cash rate was held steady at the RBA Board meeting on 7 September and this is the rate that banks and other lenders use to determine their individual rates on different types of loans.
Currently, Jade Finance lending rates for new cars, bikes, boats and caravans are extremely low which means cheaper loans for those special buys. Time to treat yourself? Check out our loan offers on the goods you are interested in purchasing or just get moving and apply for a loan.

- Planning the Summer Caravan Holiday: supply of caravans has been low so phone around the different manufacturers to see which dealer has stock available for delivery in time for your holiday.
- Ride Away on a New Motorbike: check out the latest online and place your order.
