(Fixed)

The rate you pay depends on your circumstances and loan amount and may differ from the Representative APR. We will never offer you a rate exceeding 29.9% p.a. (fixed), regardless of loan size. This means you're not guaranteed to get the rate you see in the calculator. 

Take a break, with a loan repayment holiday

When you apply for a loan, based on your circumstances, we might give you the option to defer your first repayment. 

  • It's only available at the start of your loan term
  • You can defer your first loan repayment for a three month period
  • If this option is available, we'll show the details of your repayment holiday at the quote stage of your application
