ANZ Fixed Rate Personal Loans and ANZ Variable Rate Personal Loans are unsecured. This means you do not have to use an asset like your car or home as security to get a loan.

If you have an ANZ Variable Rate Personal Loan, you can pay off your loan early by making early or extra repayments without additional costs. This could help you to save on the interest you pay over the life of the loan. 

With an ANZ Fixed Rate Personal Loan, early repayment fees and charges, which may be significant, may apply if you make early or additional repayments or repay your loan early. Refer to Early Repayment Charges (PDF) and  ANZ Consumer Lending Terms and Conditions booklet (PDF).

ANZ Fixed Rate Personal Loan

An ANZ Fixed Rate Personal Loan gives you the certainty of fixed repayments for the term of your loan. This means if interest rates increase your repayments stay the same.

However, if you're looking to pay off your loan early, make extra repayments or increase your loan amount, early repayment fees and charges may apply. See Early Repayment Charges (PDF) and ANZ Consumer Lending Terms and Conditions booklet (PDF) for further information. You also do not have access to any early repayments made to the loan.

ANZ Variable Rate Personal Loan

With an ANZ Variable Rate Personal Loan, your interest rate may increase or decrease during the loan term, and so may your repayments. You can make early or extra repayments to pay off the loan faster (and save on interest charges), and redraw any extra money you’ve paid on your loan, without additional costs.

Interest is calculated on the unpaid daily balance of your loan and is charged to the loan on a fortnightly or monthly basis (depending on which product you have). The interest rate applied each day is equal to your annual interest rate, divided by 365.

It's important to note that the interest charged to your loan may be different each month for ANZ Fixed Rate and Variable Rate Personal Loans, as it depends on a variety of factors, such as the number of days in that month, the applicable annual interest rate and the unpaid balance of your loan. For the full details about how interest is calculated refer to our Consumer Lending terms and conditions brochure (PDF).

Different agencies can hold different information, you may have a credit report with more than one agency.

ANZ uses the credit score provided by Equifax to determine your applicable interest rate. We recommend that you access your credit report or credit score from Equifax or getcreditscore.com.au for a more accurate estimate.

A range of interest rates apply to ANZ Personal Loans. The interest rate range shown sets out the minimum and maximum interest rate that may be applicable.

We tailor your interest rate based on our assessment of your credit score. Where you have demonstrated good credit-based behaviour, such as not opening too many credit products or making repayments on time for your other credit products, this will be reflected in your credit score and you may be offered a rate in the lower end of our range. Where your credit history isn’t as long, or as good, or you have made many credit applications in a short period of time, this may negatively impact your credit score and you’ll likely be offered a rate at the higher end of our range.

We'll confirm your interest rate in a letter of offer, which you can decide whether to accept.

Here are some things to consider when applying for a personal loan.

A comparison rate helps you work out the true cost of a loan. This rate takes other fees and charges into account, like a loan approval fee and loan administration charge in addition to the interest rate. It’s meant to be a fairer way of comparing how much a loan will cost you.

Yes, you can apply but your application for an ANZ Personal Loan will be subject to ANZ’s credit assessment criteria.

• your assets
• what existing financial commitments you have with ANZ and other financial institutions, such as personal loans, home loans or credit cards
• your expenses, such as how much you spend on gas, electricity, insurances, food, transport and lifestyle expenses

You don’t have to pay stamp duty on any of our personal loans.

But if you’re buying a car, you may need to pay stamp duty to the state or territory government to register it and to transfer its registration. The amount of stamp duty varies between states and territories, and also depending on the type of vehicle.

Remember that this money doesn’t go to us, but to the relevant state or territory government.
