Could I use gold or my car as a collateral for securing a personal loan?
What is the minimum income that has to be shown to get a secured loan?
Yes, you may be able to provide your car as collateral, provided it’s not currently secured against another personal loan.
The minimum income depends on a range of other factors. The lender wants to ensure you can repay the loan based on your current income, debts, expenses and employment security. Your best bet is to contact CBA and explain your situation, so you can see what your options are.
Hope this helps!

How should be back the money
When you can give me money please
Hi Meysam,
Thank you for reaching out to finder.
If you have already made an application with Commonwealth on a personal loan, you may need to direct this query over to them to be sure as to when the money would be disbursed. If you have not applied yet and still checking on the timeline for disbursement, the company will inform you once the application is processed and approved. Hope this helps!
Cheers,
Reggie
I am Centrelink newstart allowance recipient looking for the best unsecured personal loan as I find it hard to get approved because I don’t have a job. I own my own home, I don’t owe any money to anybody, and I don’t have credit cards with very good credit rating. Can someone please give me an answer to where I can get a loan?
Hi Maselusi,
Thanks for getting in touch with Finder. I hope all is well with you. :)
I’m sorry to hear that you are having trouble in finding a lender who can help you. Generally, the more documents you can show that you can make repayments, the higher your chance of getting approved. However, in your case, your only source of income is Centrelink and not all lenders could consider that as enough proof of your ability to make repayments.
Thankfully, there are lenders offering Centrelink loans. Please refer to the table to compare your option. On that page, you will also read our guide on how to improve your chance of getting a loan.
I hope this helps. Should you have further questions, please don’t hesitate to reach us out again.
Have a wonderful day!
Cheers,
Joshua
