Unlike home loans, the interest rates on personal loans are generally not "black and white". The interest rate will depend on a number of factors such as whether security is offered, whether you own a property, how good is your credit history and how long have you been in your job.

Normally it is advisable to use a home loan to fund home improvements. Obviously the interest rates are much lower on home loans when compared to personal loans. There are some situations where you may need to use a personal loan to conduct home improvements. Consider the following case examples: - You have borrowed 80% of the property value and borrowing more would mean you would have to pay lenders mortgage insurance. Mortgage insurance could cost you thousands of dollars. It may cost you less in interest to instead use a personal loan over a 5 year term than it would cost in mortgage insurance plus the interest on that mortgage insurance over the 30 year home loan term. - You have borrowed 100-105% of the purchase price with the help of a guarantor. In this instance you generally wouldn’t be able to increase your home loan so a personal loan would be required.

Generally by the next day or no later than two workings days.

Most personal loans have a fixed interest rate. This gives you certainty with ongoing repayments. There are a few lenders that offer variable rates but fixed rates are much more common and popular.

Most lenders require a clean credit history. We do have options that will consider small paid defaults with a telco or utility company. Unpaid defaults generally won’t be considered.
