What will my total repayments be after 5 years.
Hi Erin!
Your repayments would depend on the amount you borrowed, the duration of your loan, fees and the rate involved. :)
We recommend that you talk to IMB loan specialist to confirm your computation.

My daughter needs to get a personal loan of $15000 over 5 years to repay some debt after a divorce. She is a single mum of 2 on a pension and works part time 25 hours per week. She owns a 1 year old car worth $35000 that she can use to secure the loan but I was wondering if I could go guarantor for her if her earnings do not qualify her to cover the loan.
Hi,
IMB do not currently accept applications where a personal loan guarantor is required. However, they do accept applications from casual employees as long as your daughter has been in her role for at least 12 months.

Hi, i am looking to buy a motorcycle in a private sale which is less than 2 years old. Firstly is it possible to get a new car loan for this or are they specifically for cars? Secondly whether i get a new car lon or a secured personal loan is the money transferred straight to the person or sale or can i have it put into my own account so i can pay with a bank cheque?
Thank you
Hi Dan,
Both new and used bikes up to six years old can be financed with the IMB Secured Personal Loan, but the car loan is specifically for cars.
In terms of paying out your loan, IMB can pay the funds directly to the seller or you can pick up an IMB cheque in-branch.
Hope this helps,
Elizabeth
Hi, Am I able to use a family members car that is under 5 years old as security? like a Guarantor as my car is older than 5 years.

Is my Superannuation considered security if I am past the age of maturation?
Hi Carolyn,
Unfortunately, secured personal loans must be secured with either a new or used vehicle (up to 6 years of age). Superannuation is generally not considered as security for most lenders, but you may find some alternative lenders willing to use it as security.
Thanks,

What would be monthly repayment of a loan of $40000?
Are payments able to be direct debited on a fortnightly basis?
Hi Toby,
Monthly repayments depend on how long your repayment term is – this loan comes with repayment terms of between one and five years. You can use the personal loan repayment calculator on this page to work out your ongoing repayments. You’re only able to repay monthly.

Hi,
My husband and I both wanted to apply jointly. Is that possible? Thanks
Hi Iffat,
You’re able to apply for this loan jointly if you’re married or de facto, so you and your husband will be able to.
Hope this has helped,
Elizabeth
Hi,
Thank you.
But on the online application will I be able to do it jointly or should we visit a branch? Thanks
Hi Iffat,
You can submit an online application jointly. Towards the start of the application you will be given the option to select how many people are applying.
Thanks,

I have an existing car loan but I do not like the car. I am wanting to purchase a 2013 Mazda CX5 top of range and get cash to pay off existing loan. Then will sell old car and with what I get from sale pay that off the loan to reduce existing loan amount.
would this be possible through a secure loan.
Cheers David
Hi David,
Thanks for your question.
You can use your current vehicle to secure the loan, but IMB would pay out your current loan and the car would be encumbered to IMB. You can sell then sell the vehicle but you would need to use those funds to pay out the loan and then apply for another loan to purchase a new vehicle with IMB – IMB has a new car loan that you may want to consider for this loan.
I hope this information has helped.
Thanks,
Elizabeth
The used car I am interested in buying is 3 yrs old and selling price is $18,999. I have $10k in cash but want to borrow the rest.(or vice versa) Is a secured car loan the best way to do this? And can I purchase the car by splitting between cash and finance? Also can I pay off the loan before the term period and are their any fees applied to doing this?
Hi AnnMari,
Thanks for your questions.
I’m unable to advise whether a secured loan is a good idea for you – the best financing option will really depend on your own financial situation. A secured loan can reduce your repayments due to a lower interest rate, but you are also risking your car if you default on your loan. It’s important to weigh up all the benefits and drawbacks for yourself before applying.
In terms of this loan, you’re able to split it between cash and finance and there is no penalty for early repayments with this loan.
I hope this has helped,
Elizabeth
