Aussies love to travel! Whether it’s a major overseas adventure or an interstate holiday, most Australians have dreams and/or plans to travel somewhere at some stage, sometime soon. But putting the plan into action, turning a dream into reality entails having the funds to cover expenses. Accumulating the savings to cover a great trip can take a long time. Putting charges on credit cards can attract high-interest charges and blow the travel budget. We have another option with low-rate travel finance.
We assist dreamers and planners to become travellers sooner with our affordable travel financing options. Enabling travellers to pay for expenses through loan options, individually sourced from across our vast lender base and including our signature best interest rates, flexible terms and workable repayment schedules.
Whether it’s a bucket-list adventure, seeing your favourite team in the Grand Final, experiencing an Open, World Cup, or Grand Prix, a concert or festival, a short-notice destination wedding, a spur-of-the-moment cruise decision, or you simply haven’t managed to save the full amount required by the departure date, speak with us about the options we can offer for funding your travel.
Saving for travel and holidays can be a challenge, and it can be a slow process to accrue significant interest. Price increases for tickets and accommodation and currency fluctuations may be adding to the overall cost of the travel, pushing plans further into the future. Holiday loans make travel accessible now, with the opportunity to spread the cost over the repayment terms.

Accessing an Unsecured Personal Loan through Jade can compare extremely favourably with other options available to fund travel plans. The alternatives are typically saving, using credit cards, travel provider funding or short-term payday-type loans. Saving can take considerable time, and savings accounts attract modest interest earnings. Credit cards can attract higher interest rates than personal loans. Short-term payday-type loans can have higher rates and shorter repayment terms. Some travel providers may offer interest-free periods, but after that period has expired, a much higher interest rate than with an unsecured personal loan may apply.

Our guides offer quick comparisons and simple explainers to help you move through the financing process with confidence.
The concept of paying for travel through financing options is not new. Most travellers will use credit cards to cover some of their expenses and pay off the balance over time on their return. However, with a greater awareness of interest rates and the emergence of new lending products, there is a growing trend for travellers to consider vacation loans.
We provide travel finance and vacation loans through our Unsecured Personal Loans. This credit product can be used for a range of expenses associated with holidays and travel. The loan can be used to cover airline tickets, cruise tickets, accommodation, tours, sports and concert tickets, experiences, insurance, upgrades, meals and ancillary expenses.
Financing your travel can assist with expediting your plans to get you to your destination sooner; provide access to travel experiences for more people, enable a more luxurious experience, access more adventure experiences, realise once-in-a-lifetime opportunities, or to simply make a scheduled vacation happen. The reasons and the destinations of our travel financing customers are extremely inclusive. We assist adventure seekers, destination wedding guests, fans heading to sporting or entertainment events overseas or interstate, travellers taking up unexpected opportunities and invitations to join family or friends; and many others to activate their plans.

Funding your travel will entail taking on a personal loan. These types of loans are regulated by Consumer Credit laws in regard to eligibility criteria. This includes being over the age of 18, having a reliable source of income and employment and providing lenders with documents and details of assets, income debts and expenses.
Lenders also have varying criteria for approving applications and making offers. We know the matrix used by our lenders and can match each traveller with the right lender. Holiday loans are typically unsecured personal loans as the purpose of the funding is not tangible goods that can be used as security for the lenders. With no major assets or collateral required, the lender’s assessment of your credit score and ability to repay the loan will determine approval, the interest rate and borrowing limit.
Your Jade consultant will be handling the application processing for you with the lender that is best suited to your profile and requirements. Applications can be made online or over the phone with many approvals received in 24 hours. Once approved, the money is transferred to your bank account for you to use for your travel expenses.

Funding your travel with a personal loan can make travel more accessible and sooner. However with the interest charged on the loan, the overall outlay may be higher than using savings. Taking a responsible approach to planning the travel and the holiday loan may result in finalising the commitment and starting plans for the next travel experience sooner.
