FAQ
Being better informed makes for better decisions. Have a question or two? Check out these helpful FAQs or get in touch with the team.
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, the lender can approve loans in two to three hours, but this does depend on lender timeframes.
Can I get a motorbike loan if I have poor credit history?
Bad credit can seem like a burden when trying to get approved. A motorbike loan does help mitigate some of the risks from a lender when providing finance as there is collateral to claim against if the loan is unpaid.
Although being offered finance is not a given, a vehicle loan does open more options when there is a vehicle to use as security.
Can I refinance an existing motorbike loan?
Yes. You can refinance your vehicle loan to a different lender even if you have finance secured against a vehicle.
When refinancing a loan, it is important to be clear about what you want to achieve and the implications of making a change. For example: you may want to reduce the overall cost of your loan by refinancing or you may want to reduce your current repayment amounts. In short, when refinancing, make sure you have clear objectives and are well informed about the implications of making the change from one lender to another.
Also, make sure you consider fees to repay your existing debt early, and any additional fees in securing the new finance..
