Understanding loan eligibility

Different lenders apply different eligibility criteria. Learn about the income, documentation and credit-history factors that may form part of a lender's assessment. Our guides explain these concepts generally; they do not assess whether you qualify for a loan.

Multiple lenders

A broker may help consumers compare loan offers, rates & options from multiple lenders. A broker's panel may not include all lenders or products in the market, and rates may vary based on the borrower's circumstances. Learn how brokers operate and what to consider when comparing loans.

Understanding credit checks

Multiple credit applications recorded on your credit file can affect a lender's assessment and your borrowing options. Brokers or lenders may check your credit file as part of their assessment process with your consent.

Frequently Asked Questions

    responsible lending
    Borrowing costs: unsecured personal loans
    The following information is about unsecured personal loans.
    Repayment periods, interest rates and fees vary by lender and loan type. When comparing loans, consider the comparison rate where available, fees, repayment schedule and total amount repayable, rather than the interest rate alone.
    Secured loans use an asset as security. They may have lower interest rates than unsecured loans, but the asset may be at risk if repayments are not made. A lower repayment over a longer term does not necessarily mean a lower total cost.

    The Reserve Bank’s latest meeting minutes have added more detail to the message borrowers heard after the earlier August rate decision: policy makers are not yet ready to declare victory over inflation, even if some parts of the economy are clearly slowing.
