Improve Your Truck Loan Terms with Refinancing
What is refinancing? Refinancing involves revising your loan agreement to make favourable changes to the interest rate, payment schedule, or other terms outlined in the agreement. Under a refinance, you will receive a new contract that replaces the original agreement. Refinancing is typically a good idea when the interest rate environment changes.
By refinancing your truck with Jade Finance, you may be able to receive a better interest rate, lower repayments, and flexible terms.

Increased savings
Truck loan restructuring can be used to take advantage of a lower interest rate. This could potentially save you thousands of dollars depending on the amount of time you’ve had your loan and the difference in your current rate compared to the refinance rate. By taking advantage of a lower interest rate, you could boost your savings significantly.
Make budgeting easier
Budgeting is the process of creating a plan for your income and expenses. It involves allocating certain amounts of your income towards bills, food, and other expenses. By refinancing your truck loan, you will be able to re-allocate these funds to where they are most needed.
Boost business growth
By refinancing your truck loan with Jade Finance, you could also boost the growth of your business substantially. This is because when businesses refinance their existing debts, they can often extend their repayment terms which can lead to lower monthly payments and improved cash flow. By obtaining additional capital in this way, you could unlock the ability to fund initiatives for business growth, create an emergency fund, and even explore new markets.
Understanding the Basics of Refinancing
When an existing loan is revised and replaced with a new one, it is called refinancing. Typically by refinancing, a borrower will enjoy more favourable terms such as lower interest rates, longer repayment periods, or both. A borrower might choose to refinance to reduce their monthly payments on a loan, save on interest costs, or change the type of loan they have. Prior to refinancing a loan, borrowers should:
- Evaluate their current financial situation.
- Review existing loan terms.
- Partner with Jade to shop around for the best rates and terms.
- Consider their financial goals.
- Understand any associated costs and fees.

Chattel Mortgage
Chattel mortgage is a popular and commonly used commercial loan for refinancing a truck. Offered for a range of purposes by all major Australian banks and many lenders through the brokers at Jade, a chattel mortgage on your truck purchase is a similar concept to a mortgage on a home. Your truck, referred to as the ‘chattel’ is used as security against the loan. On signing the chattel mortgage agreement – you take ownership of your truck straight away and make monthly repayments as per the agreement. Refinancing your commercial truck loan with chattel mortgage could provide:
- Lower interest rates
- Reduced monthly payments
- Improved cash flow
- Better loan terms
- Access to equity
- Tax benefits
- Flexible repayment options
Commercial Hire Purchase (CHP)
Jade Finance also offers the ability to refinance your commercial truck loan with CHP. In a CHP agreement, you will set a fixed monthly payment amount for a specified term, and a residual value will often be included. By refinancing with CHP, similar benefits to chattel mortgages can be achieved, with the addition of fixed payments for easier budgeting and ownership benefits at the end of the CHP agreement.
No Deposit Refinancing

What Does Refinancing a Balloon or Residual Mean?
A balloon payment, also known as a residual payment, is the final amount due on a loan that is structured as a series of small monthly payments. The ‘balloon’ is a single much larger sum due at the end of the loan period.
Finance with residual is a loan product that offers lower repayments throughout the loan term and is popular among those seeking lower weekly, fortnightly, or monthly repayment structures. A balloon can often help individuals maintain a reasonable cash-flow or savings and are offered as an option for home mortgages, auto loans, and business loans.
As the term ‘balloon’ hints – the final payment on this type of loan can be quite large. However, this sum is dependent on the length of the loan term, asset type, and the value of the asset. If you get to the end of your loan term and you can’t afford your residual payment, you can refinance it into smaller regular monthly payments similar to the original loan. There are a variety of advantages and disadvantages to consider when refinancing in this way.
