How to Apply for an Online Loan

They will able to give you an idea on whether your loan will be successful subject to confirmation of the details you have provided. Providing that information should only take 10 to 15 minutes and in most cases can be done online.

What Type of Loan You’ll Need

For personal use the most popular loan is a secured loan where the car or the motor vehicle is used as security for the loan. This method is the most common way of financing a car as the interest rate for a secured loan is usually at a lower rate than an unsecured loan.

A secured loan allows the lender to take security over the car or goods until the loan is paid off. The loan can usually be paid weekly, fortnightly or monthly. You may have a loan that has a balloon payment or residual. This means that is a large sum outstanding at the end of your loan. This is a deferred payment or final payment that is due at the end of the loan. This can result in lower regular payments, but on the down side will result in a higher amount of interest on the outstanding balance. You also have a large final payment to make if you wish to own the car.

How Long Can My Repayments Be?

Car loans and unsecured personal loans vary between one and seven years. Paying off a car loan over one year will mean the repayments will be high and the interest expense lower. A loan or car finance over seven years the repayments will be lower but the interest amount higher. Ask if your loan has repayments that are flexible so you can pay extra if you wish to. Some finance and personal loan companies will let you have a payment holiday if your repayments are in advance.

Interest Rates

The interest rate you are offered will depend upon whether the loan is secured or unsecured and your personal credit worthiness. The better your credit or the greater your ability to repay the loan, the chances are that you will be able to get a lower interest rate. This is a good reason to get a pre- approval for your car loan before deciding on the car you wish to buy. You may be offered a loan by the dealer at a higher rate than you could get having a car loan broker like www.yesloans.com.au arrange your loan.

Some lenders will be able to offer you a fixed interest or a variable interest rate. You should consider the length of the loan term and the interest rate environment before deciding. Both options have their benefits and pitfalls. Lenders and brokers will quote an interest rate and a comparison interest rate.

The comparison interest rate takes into account an example of a similar loan and factors in the various fees that are payable.

You should not only compare the comparison rate but also the loan features as well. The repayments for a loan with a lower interest rate may actually be more than a comparable loan with a higher interest rate but lower ongoing fees.
