Debt consolidation is combining your existing debts like Credit Cards or other Personal Loans together, into one new Personal Loan – which may provide a more competitive interest rate and lower fees.
Having one loan for a set period of time, rather than multiple loans with multiple timeframes, means you’ll have a clear end date for your repayments. This can provide you with a clear overview of your debt and provide peace of mind with a set end date.
Car Loans
Personal Loans
Credit Cards
Store Cards
Can’t consolidate: Phone, Internet, Rent, or Utility
These are considered day to day expenses. Because these are reoccurring costs, these can’t be consolidated.
Payday loans are also considered as finance for day to day expenses, and cannot be consolidated.
Yes, you can use Debt Consolidation to pay off your Credit Cards. However, if you have an interest free period on your Credit Card, you may want want to consider whether this is a cost benefit.
The amount of interest you pay over the course of the loan will depend on your loan amount and loan term. You can calculate your repayments based on the loan size and term by using our Repayments Calculator. By repaying your loan more frequently, such as weekly or fortnightly, you may save more interest over the loan term.
The comparison rate is a rate that includes the interest rate, plus any fees and charges that may apply to the loan. The total figure is converted into a percentage rate to help you work out the true cost of the loan.
To apply for a Personal Loan, you must be 18 years or older and a permanent resident of Australia.
