FAQ

Debt consolidation - the details

Being better informed makes for better decisions. Have a question or two? Check out these helpful FAQs or get in touch with the team.

Can I consolidate existing debt into my new loan to have one payment?

Yes. Debt consolidation loans are very common and are a great way to help people budget better, get on top of their outgoing payments and pay off debt faster and usually at a combined lower rate of interest.

How much can I borrow?

Our minimum loan amount is $3,000 and maximum is $100,000. How much you can borrow within this range depends on your personal circumstances and affordability. It’s important to borrow only what you need and to ensure you can comfortably meet your repayment obligations for the term of your loan. Our team is expert at helping you determine your personal borrowing sweet spot.

How long does it take to approve the loan?

We work hard with our clients to collect all the right information up front before we assess the application. With all the information required, we can approve loans in two to three hours, but this does depend on lender timeframes. 

What are repayments and what is the frequency?

The repayments of a loan are determined my a couple of factors. Mainly amount borrowed, interest rate and the term of the loan. We have a great calculators for you to run the numbers and see how these factors can suit your budget.
Repayments can be made weekly, fortnightly or monthly via direct debit.

How do I repay my other loans that I am consolidating?

For a debt consolidation loan, we will request for a full settlement statement for all of the debts and credit cards that we are repaying with the new loan. We will pay the finance company directly so you don't have to remember to do so.
It can take a few days for finance companies and credit card companies to allocate the payment to your account to close it on their system.
