Financing options for cosmetic procedures, both elective and non-elective, are provided with personal loans. This sector of the lending market, Consumer Credit, is regulated and overseen through ASIC. The Commission has set the guidelines and regulations by which consumer finance lenders must carry out their role in providing personal loans.
The guidelines cover requirements for eligibility and the documentation which applicants must provide for assessment.
Eligibility criteria includes:
- Must be over 18 years of age.
- Permanent Australia/NZ resident or have the necessary, acceptable visa.
- Verifiable, regular taxable Australian income.
- Australian residential address, verifiable.
- Credit history and score that can be reviewed.
Lenders are required to obtain a range of documentation for the loan application which includes:
- Identification proof with passport Medicare card, driver licence and similar.
- Payslips to prove income or documents to prove other income streams.
- Details of debts, liabilities and regular, ongoing expenses, credit cards.
- Details of assets.
- Banks statements, tax returns.
In addition to these minimum requirements, lenders may request additional documentation in line with their individual criteria and guidelines. Details of the purpose of the loan are also required.
The initial step in applying for a plastic surgery loan is to check eligibility with one of our brokers. Once we confirm eligibility, the application form needs to be completed with the required documents. When our brokers check these documents, conditional approval may be obtained.
Your Jade broker will then identify which of our lenders is best suited to your individual profile and best-placed to make the best offer for a plastic surgery loan. We source the best quote and offer and present it to the customer for consideration.
Achieving the best interest rate and the preferred terms can depend on the credit score and history. Lenders review credit profiles for creditworthiness and assess financials for the ability to repay the loan.
With plastic surgery and other medical procedures, a key consideration may be the downtime required for the surgery and for recovery. Lenders may be interested in if income will be earned during any time away from work as this may impact the ability to meet repayments.
Providing as much detail as possible, such as if the time is covered by sick leave or accrued holidays, may expedite approval.
When any offer presented is accepted by our customer, we proceed to process the application through to the settlement stage. This is when the funds are transferred to the customer’s bank account and available for the purpose.
Your Jade broker will be guiding you through each stage of the application to ensure a swift, streamlined process. We handle all the discussions and negotiations with lenders to save customers time and hassle.
