Do your loans have to be fixed? Reason I ask is if I set it at 7 years or 5 years and it is fixed this would mean I can’t pay off extra into the personal loan and secondly if I pay it off in say 2 yrs then penalty rates apply. Also what are your monthly fees etc

Just to clarify, you’ve come through to finder.com.au, not Society One, we’re a financial comparison service, however I can still help you with your query. The interest rate that will be applied to your loan is fixed for your repayment term, which can be anywhere from one to five years. You will be charged a one-off establishment fee but there are no other fees charged on your loan. You are able to pay off your loan early and be charged no penalty.
Society One is a peer-to-peer lender and so offers a new way to get finance. It works by linking borrowers up with individual investors who agree to lend to you. This process is completely anonymous. The main thing to be aware of is that you are given a rate based on your credit position – Society One has five ‘grades’ of borrowers that is based on your Veda score, and your interest rate and establishment fee will be based on this loan amount. You can learn more about Society One and the way it works by clicking through to their site from the page above – just click the green ‘Go to Site’ button.

Important information about this website
finder.com.au is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We compare from a wide set of banks, insurers and product issuers. We value our editorial independence and follow editorial guidelines.
finder.com.au has access to track details from the product issuers listed on our sites. Although we provide information on the products offered by a wide range of issuers, we don't cover every available product or service.

Products marked as '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.

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.
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 labelling 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.

Hi,
Is there a redraw facility on the society one loan?
Hi J-C Hillis,
Thanks for your question.
You can make extra repayments at any time without penalty but there is no redraw facility available on this loan.
I hope this has helped.
Thanks,
