Guide to Australian Banks and Loans

There are hundreds of car loan providers in the Australian marketplace jostling for your vehicle finance business. This enormous list of Australian banks and financial institutions can be overwhelming for even the most informed car buyer, with each one offering their own variations on the range of car loans available for individuals and businesses.

The money you set aside for a car loan is valuable to you, and as such you want to make sure the car loan you commit to ticks all the right boxes for your particular set of circumstances.

Our Australian car loans guide attempts to cut through the vast array of information out there, and break down exactly what is offered by a wide range of lenders, from Australia’s biggest banks to some of the newest players in the market. By reading through the bank profiles below, you’ll have a better understanding of what each Australian loan product offers and the variations you will encounter in the wider car loan marketplace.

Australian Car Loans

In each of the bank profiles we’ve created, we dissect the car loan options so you understand what they offer and how it will affect your ability to repay the loan. Knowing each of these factors, and any others they may include in their car loan products, you will be able to make an informed decision about which vehicle finance provider you may want to go with. We even highlight their community programs and initiatives so you can factor their contribution to society in your final decision if you so choose.

By reading through our individual guides, you’ll have a better understanding of how each lender calculates the following factors into their products:

  • Fixed vs variable vs comparison interest rates
  • Secured vs unsecured loans
  • Car loans vs personal loans for individuals
  • Chattel mortgage vs finance lease vs hire purchase vs novated lease for businesses
  • Loan terms
  • Repayment options
  • Establishment and ongoing fees
  • Balloon payments
  • Terms and conditions including age of the car and where you want to buy the car from
  • Eligibility criteria including age restrictions, credit ratings, employment status and income

Our car loan guides help to answer many of the questions you will have when searching for the right car loan for you. You’ll have a better understanding of your borrowing power, periodical repayment commitments and other car loan features that may benefit you in some way such as tax breaks for business owners.
