Standard Variable Loans

These are loans where the interest rates can vary throughout the term of the loan. That is to say, the interest rate may go up or down during the loan term.

Basic Variable Loans

Basic variable loans are loans with lower interest rates, but with fewer features than a standard variable loan. The interest rate can, as the name indicates, vary over the term of the loan. Therefore, the interest rate can rise or fall over the term of the loan. These loans are typically “no frills” loan products.

Introductory Loans

These are variable rate loans with a discounted interest rate off the standard variable rate (commonly over 1% less), lasting a certain period of time, usually 1 year. After this period, they normally revert back to standard variable rates. Sometimes, depending on the lender rates, they can be fixed or capped during the initial/honeymoon period.

Fixed Rate Loans

These are loans where the borrower’s interest rate and repayments are fixed for a set period, usually from 1 to 10 years, and sometimes longer. These loans revert to the standard variable rate at the time the fixed rate period has expired, unless “rolled over” for another fixed term (at prevailing rates).

Equity Loans

These loans allow borrowers to borrow up to a specified limit, which is secured by a mortgage over the property. These loans provide access to funds, when required, up to the limit set. Normally, the minimum repayment required is the interest only. Some lenders, however, do require that principal reductions begin to be made after a certain period of time.

Low Doc/ No Doc Loans

These are products available for borrowers who are normally self-employed or do not have tax returns or financial reports.

Non Conforming Loans

Non Conforming Loans have been designed to help borrowers who do not meet standard lending guidelines. This includes borrowers who have an impaired credit, that are unable to provide the usual documentation required in support of their loan, or simply do not meet the lending criteria of mainstream lenders.

Personal Loans

These are secured and unsecured loans taken out to assist personal borrowers in purchasing items such as Motor Vehicles, Furniture and Computer Systems. The loan term is generally over a maximum of 7 years and a minimum of 12 months. Loan amounts can start from as little as $3,000 (subject to lending guidelines).

Commercial Loans

Commercial loans are available for a wide variety of business related purposes. Traditionally Commercial Loans are used by Self Employed persons to purchase commercially zoned premises or to provide capital to inject into their business to assist in the continuance and/or development of their business.

Commercial Lending is different to Residential or Investment Lending, in that each case is assessed by the Lender on its merits and according to the Lender’s Credit Policy, Loan Terms and Product Facilities that are offered.

Deposit Bonds

There are two types of this facility: Standard and Long Term.
