The collateral may be the goods being purchased with the financing or other assets. The collateral must be approved as acceptable by the lender, must not be under-finance and will be required to be covered by insurance.
The type, condition and quality of the collateral is extremely important as it can determine loan approval, rate, term and conditions.
As the lender has the assurance that they can recoup funds owed if the borrower defaults, lower interest rates are offered, compared with unsecured financing.
More flexible repayment schedules and terms may also be achieved. The major risk with this type of funding is if the borrower fails to make their repayments and the lender repossesses the collateral.

While security is provided with collateral-backed finance, lenders will still have to approve that collateral, the purpose of the lending and the applicant’s creditworthiness. Applicants must meet the Consumer Credit Law criteria of being over 18 years of age and providing details of income, employment, financials and personal data.
In addition, applicants will need to meet the individual lenders’ criteria. Criteria can vary but we know the matrix used by our lenders, and can select the lender that best suits each of customer. Suitability may be in relation to the collateral provided, the asset-based financing options available, how the loan will be used and the credit profile of the applicant. We assist and support customers through the entire process and liaise with our lenders.

Key to approval of loans against assets is acceptance of the collateral. When purchasing new and many second-hand cars, boats, caravans and motorbikes, the goods are typically accepted by lenders as suitable collateral.
But for loans for other purposes such as travel or other non-tangible uses, borrowers may be required to offer other collateral. These many include real estate, vehicles or investment accounts. The assets must not be under finance. Approval of collateral is subject to individual lender guidelines.

Primarily personal financing is available with either a secured or an unsecured credit product. There are differences in the features, rates and risks with each.
Unsecured options do not require collateral and as such have a higher risk to lenders and attract higher rates. Collateral-backed financing provides security for lenders, a lower risk and as such, lower rates are achievable.
But rates on unsecured credit may be variable or fixed and provide greater flexibility with repayment options for borrowers. Secured credit is typically at a fixed rate which may provide assurance that the rate and repayments will not change over the term.
With collateral arranged, lenders may be prepared to approve higher amounts on asset-backed credit. The major risk with asset-based financing options is losing the asset if they default on repayments. As specialists in personal financing, we offer both options and can assist borrowers with the right solution for their purpose.

While lenders have the security of collateral with secured financing products, the credit score of the applicant still remains key to any offer made. Lenders assess the creditworthiness of applicants when making offers for interest rates, approving credit amounts and for being flexible with repayment terms and schedules.
Prior to applying for credit, borrowers may consider improving their credit profile by paying down debts such as other loans and credit cards, and fixing any errors which may appear. Having a good credit score is critical to the best loans.
Lender criteria around credit scores can vary across the lending market. As specialists, we know the criteria of our lenders and match the right lender with each customer. For the best rates from the right lender, contact us.
When taking on credit, a major consideration for most borrowers will be the repayments. That figure must work with their budget, their income and their financial goals. The repayment amount is calculated based on the loan amount, rate and term. Repayments remain fixed with fixed rates but can potentially change with variable rate credit.
A longer loan term can mean lower repayments, but a larger amount of total interest. While a shorter term may result in a higher repayment figure but less total interest. Making the loan effectively cheaper. Borrowers can use our calculator to estimate repayments on different amounts, over different terms and at different interest rates.
Most lenders offer monthly repayment schedules, but we do have lenders that also offer weekly and fortnightly repayments on certain credit products. Scheduling repayments in line with salary may assist budgeting.

Secured credit is an extremely popular form of financing to acquire a wide range of goods and for other purposes. When considering this credit option, borrowers should consider the risk of using the asset as collateral.
The purpose of collateral is so the lender has the assurance that should the borrower default, they can take ownership of the collateral, sell it and recoup the funds owed to them. The risk is that the asset may be lost. Borrowers should also consider the value of the collateral offered in relation to the funding requested. Using our services provides borrowers with experts to explain all aspects of their credit options.
