The winner of the Car Loan Awards 2023 is Beyond Bank Australia. Its car loan offers fixed repayments for the length of the loan, flexible loan terms of up to 7 years and a maximum value of $125,000. You can make additional repayments, redraw for free and pay off the loan early without being charged early repayment fees.
The IMB car loan comes in 2nd place for the best car loan of 2023. It has a strong interest rate and no account-keeping fees, meaning your repayments remain low. You can also make additional repayments towards the loan and pay off the loan early without early repayment fees.
Heritage Bank's car loan comes with a low fixed rate with low account fees, offering you certainty on how much you'll pay each month. Whether you finance a new or a used car, Heritage Bank could finance 100% of the value.
If you want to take out an unsecured personal loan, you can't do much better than NOW Finance. With customised interest rates and zero fees, it's a simple solution for any worthwhile purchase. With limits from $5,000 to $50,000 put into your account within 2 days of application, you can book a holiday, buy a vehicle or consolidate your existing debt.
With some of the cheapest personal loan interest rates on the market, the ING unsecured personal loan deserves to be in 2nd place. You can borrow from $5,000 to $60,000 depending on your loan term, with zero ongoing fees, fast access to funds and early repayment options.
Borrow from $2,000 to $70,000 with a Harmoney unsecured personal loan and pay no ongoing fees during the life of the loan. Your interest rate will be personalised to your circumstances and with the fixed rate your repayments will remain the same over the life of the loan.

With strong, personalised interest rates, zero establishment or monthly fees and flexible loan terms, this was a clear winner. NOW Finance also offers personalised service, with an allocated personal advisor offered to borrowers.
IMB's secured personal loan ranked in second-place. It has a competitive interest rate and no monthly fees to consider. While repayments are fixed, you can make additional repayments and pay off the loan early without incurring any additional costs.
With low, personalised interest rates the Bank of Melbourne secured personal loan comes in 3rd place. As it's a fixed loan, your repayments will remain the same and you can choose to pay weekly, fortnightly or monthly depending on what works best for you.

Important information about this website
finder.com.au is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We are committed to our readers and stands by our editorial principles
We try to take an open and transparent approach and provide a broad-based comparison service. However, you should be aware that while we are an independently owned service, our comparison service does not include all providers or all products available in the market.
Some product issuers may provide products or offer services through multiple brands, associated companies or different labeling arrangements. This can make it difficult for consumers to compare alternatives or identify the companies behind the products. However, we aim to provide information to enable consumers to understand these issues.
We make money by featuring products on our site. Compensation received from the providers featured on our site can influence which products we write about as well as where and how products appear on our page, but the order or placement of these products does not influence our assessment or opinions of them, nor is it an endorsement or recommendation for them.
Products marked as 'Top Pick', 'Promoted' or 'Advertisement' are prominently displayed either as a result of a commercial advertising arrangement or to highlight a particular product, provider or feature. Finder may receive remuneration from the Provider if you click on the related link, purchase or enquire about the product. Finder's decision to show a 'promoted' product is neither a recommendation that the product is appropriate for you nor an indication that the product is the best in its category. We encourage you to use the tools and information we provide to compare your options.
Where our site links to particular products or displays 'Go to site' buttons, we may receive a commission, referral fee or payment when you click on those buttons or apply for a product. You can learn more about how we make money.
When products are grouped in a table or list, the order in which they are initially sorted may be influenced by a range of factors including price, fees and discounts; commercial partnerships; product features; and brand popularity. We provide tools so you can sort and filter these lists to highlight features that matter to you.
Please note that the information published on our site should not be construed as personal advice and does not consider your personal needs and circumstances. While our site will provide you with factual information and general advice to help you make better decisions, it isn't a substitute for professional advice. You should consider whether the products or services featured on our site are appropriate for your needs. If you're unsure about anything, seek professional advice before you apply for any product or commit to any plan and read any disclosure documents (such as any Target Market Determination (TMD) and/or Product Disclosure Statement (PDS)) issued by the provider before making a decision.
Providing or obtaining an estimated insurance quote through us does not guarantee you can get the insurance. Acceptance by insurance companies is based on things like occupation, health and lifestyle. By providing you with the ability to apply for a credit card or loan, we are not guaranteeing that your application will be approved. Your application for credit products is subject to the Provider's terms and conditions as well as their application and lending criteria.
