Personal Loan Features

For what purpose can I get a personal loan?

For any worthwhile purpose, really. You may like a Suncorp Personal Loan to help you buy a car, renovate your home, settle personal health bills, take a holiday or consolidate debt. It's extra cash when you need it. If you're not sure whether we'd lend money for the purpose you have in mind, call us on 13 11 55 and speak to one of our personal loan specialists wholl be happy to discuss your needs.

Who is eligible for a Suncorp Personal Loan?

Anyone over 18 years of age who's also a permanent Australian Resident may apply for a Personal Loan with Suncorp. Approval will be subject to our standard lending policies.

What's the difference between a secured loan and an unsecured loan?

Secured loans are only available for the purchase of new cars or used cars less than five years old, from a dealership. For this type of loan, Suncorp registers a chattel mortgage over the vehicle being purchased. This means that Suncorp has a registered interest in the vehicle purchased and uses this as security for the loan, therefore we can offer you a lower interest rate.

Unsecured loans are available for all cars, regardless of age or purchase terms. Most of our used car loans will be in the form of an unsecured Car Loan.

How do I check my balance/statement online?

If you're registered for Suncorp Internet Banking, you can check your personal loan balance or statement online. If you're not registered, call 13 11 55 to do so, or you can register online.

Can I increase my loan amount if I want to?

Of course! If you want to increase your loan amount after it has settled, simply apply for the new amount. Suncorp can refinance your existing loan facility for you.

When should I take out my loan?

That's up to you. On secured loans, Suncorp offers a pre-approval facility that allows you to get conditional approval before purchasing your car. You can also apply for finance after signing a contract for a motor vehicle, or at any other time when you have a worthwhile purpose.
