What Is a Personal Loan?

A personal loan is a fixed-sum loan you repay over an agreed term, usually between two and seven years, through regular weekly, fortnightly, or monthly repayments. Most personal loans are unsecured, meaning no asset is attached as collateral, though secured options are available and often come with lower rates.

Personal loans can be used for almost anything. Popular uses include home renovations, travel, medical and dental procedures, debt consolidation, and major purchases. If you’re financing a car, a car loan is usually the better-structured option. Chat to one of our brokers and we can walk you through the difference.

What Can You Use a Personal Loan For?

One of the advantages of a personal loan is flexibility. Unlike a car loan or home loan, the funds aren’t tied to a specific purchase. Here are some of the most common uses our brokers see:

  • Home improvements and renovations – from a new kitchen to a full extension. See our home improvement loans page for more.
  • Travel and holidays – domestic or international. Our travel loans page covers how it works.
  • Medical, dental, or cosmetic procedures you need now and want to spread over time. See our medical loans page for details.
  • Debt consolidation – rolling multiple repayments into one. Our debt consolidation loans page explains when this makes sense.
  • Unexpected expenses – car repairs, urgent bills, or emergency costs.
  • Weddings, events, or major once-off purchases.

If you’re borrowing to buy a car, motorcycle, caravan, or boat, we have specialist loan products for each of those. A personal loan generally has a higher rate than a secured asset-backed product, so it’s worth comparing your options first.

What's the Difference Between a Secured and Unsecured Personal Loan?

This is one of the most common questions our brokers get, and it’s worth understanding before you apply.

Secured Personal Loan Unsecured Personal Loan
Collateral required? Yes, an asset (e.g. a car) backs the loan No asset required
Interest rate Generally lower, lender holds less risk Generally higher, no security to fall back on
Loan amounts Often larger amounts available Typically up to $200,000 through Yes Loans
Approval flexibility May be easier to approve with some credit history Based on income, credit history, and expenses
Risk if you default Lender may repossess the secured asset No asset at risk, but credit file is impacted

Not sure which structure suits your situation? That’s exactly what our brokers are here for. A quick chat on (08) 9472 3000 can save you a lot of back-and-forth.

Fixed or Variable Rate: Which Personal Loan Is Right for You?

Most personal loans in Australia are fixed rate, meaning your repayments stay the same for the life of the loan. Variable rate options exist but are less common for personal finance.

A fixed rate gives you certainty. You know exactly what you’re paying each month, which makes it easier to budget. A variable rate can move with market conditions, which means repayments could go up or down. For most borrowers taking out a personal loan for a specific purpose, fixed rate tends to be the simpler choice. Worth knowing: the national average for unsecured personal loans sits around 10.32% p.a. as of April 2026 (Finder). Secured rates average around 9.38% p.a. Your actual rate will depend on your credit profile and which lender on our panel your application is matched to.

Affordable and Flexible Personal Loans in Perth

At Yes Loans, we believe in keeping things transparent. No hidden costs, no surprises buried in the fine print. Our brokers will walk you through your options, including rates, fees, and repayment structures, before anything is submitted.

We work with a panel of lenders including Angle Finance, Latitude Financial, Sovereign Credit, Pepper Money, Money3, and Allied Credit. That panel diversity means we can often find a way forward for applications that might get a knock-back from a single bank or lender. Our minimum personal loan is $5,000. For smaller amounts, our referral partner MoneyBuddy may be able to help with loans from $500.

What Affects Your Personal Loan Interest Rate?

Lenders don’t offer everyone the same rate. Your rate is based on how much risk the lender perceives in your application. Here’s what typically has the most impact:
Factor
How it affects your rate
Credit score
Higher score generally means a lower rate. Lenders use Equifax, Experian, or Illion.
Secured vs unsecured
Secured loans are lower risk for the lender, so rates tend to be lower.
Loan term
Longer terms mean lower monthly repayments but more interest paid overall.
Loan amount
Larger amounts can attract better rates with some lenders, but not always.
Income and expenses
Lenders assess your ability to repay. A strong income-to-expense ratio helps.
Employment type
Full-time employment is lowest risk. Self-employed applicants can still be approved.
On a $30,000 personal loan over 5 years, the difference between a 8% and a 12% rate is roughly $65 a month, or around $3,900 across the life of the loan. That’s why shopping across a panel of lenders matters.

Can I Get a Personal Loan with Less-Than-Perfect Credit?

Yes, in many cases. A credit history that isn’t spotless doesn’t automatically close the door. Different lenders on our panel have different credit appetites. Lenders like Pepper Money and Money3 are experienced with applications that mainstream banks might decline, including applicants with past defaults, limited credit history, or recent financial difficulty.

Been knocked back before? That doesn’t mean you’re out of options. Our brokers assess your full picture, income, expenses, repayment history, and employment, and match your application to the lender most likely to work for your situation. For more on managing debt alongside a new loan, our debt consolidation loans page is worth a read. ASIC’s MoneySmart website also has practical guidance on understanding your credit report at moneysmart.gov.au.

Frequently Asked Questions

A personal loan is a fixed-sum loan you borrow and repay over an agreed term, typically two to seven years. Repayments cover both the principal and interest, so you’re paying down the loan from day one. Most personal loans are unsecured (no asset required), though secured options are also available.
A secured personal loan uses an asset, such as a car, as collateral. Because the lender holds security, rates are generally lower. An unsecured loan doesn’t require an asset, which gives you more flexibility in how you use the funds, but rates tend to be slightly higher to reflect the additional risk to the lender. Our brokers can help you work out which structure suits your situation.
The interest rate is the base cost of borrowing. The comparison rate adds in most standard fees (like establishment and monthly fees) and rolls them into a single annual percentage, giving you a truer picture of what the loan will cost. Always check the comparison rate when weighing up offers.
The minimum personal loan through Yes Loans is $5,000. For unsecured loans, the maximum is typically $200,000, subject to your income, expenses, and credit profile. Your broker will work through your most comfortable borrowing amount with you before any application is submitted.
Each formal credit application can leave an enquiry on your credit file, which can marginally affect your score. At Yes Loans, our brokers assess your situation before submitting anything, and we aim to match you to the right lender the first time. This reduces the need for multiple applications. Getting a quote through Yes Loans won’t affect your credit score.
Yes. Self-employed applicants can be approved, though lenders typically want to see at least one to two years of trading history, plus recent bank statements and tax returns. Our brokers know which lenders on the panel work well for self-employed applications, which saves you time.
Most applications receive a response within one to two business days. More straightforward applications are often faster. Once approved, your broker will explain the settlement process and what happens next.
Standard documents include: recent payslips or proof of income, bank statements (usually the last three months), a valid form of photo ID, and details of your current expenses and any existing debts. Your broker will let you know if anything else is needed based on your application.
In most cases, yes. Most lenders on our panel allow additional repayments or lump sum payments without penalty. Early repayment conditions vary by lender, so your broker will walk you through what’s in your credit contract before you sign.
Almost anything. Home renovations, travel, medical expenses, weddings, debt consolidation, and large purchases are all common uses. If you’re buying a vehicle, it’s worth asking about a car loan or leisure loan instead, as those products are often better structured for asset purchases.
Not always. Unsecured loans don’t require either. For larger loan amounts or applications with more complex credit histories, a secured loan or guarantor can strengthen your application. If you’re considering a guarantor, it’s worth seeking independent legal advice beforehand so they understand their obligations.
Yes, but only if your loan is approved and settled. In that case, we may charge a maximum fee of $2,500 inclusive of GST. This is included in your loan amount and disclosed upfront in our Credit Guide and Quote. You can call us on (08) 9472 3000 or apply online to get started.

You can estimate your repayments using our loan calculator, which provides an indication of your repayment amounts based on your loan details.

Yes, a personal loan can be used to consolidate multiple debts into a single repayment, which may make managing your finances simpler. Learn more in our guide on how to use personal loans for debt consolidation.
