  • insurance.

Apply for a personal loan

Here's what you need to apply:

  • details of your income, expenses, assets and liabilities

Buying a new versus used car

Hot tip! Don’t forget to insure your car

Always remember to organise your registration and car insurance before hitting the road. And where possible, make sure you get a receipt for your deposit, as well as for the full purchase price of the car.

What to look out for when buying a second-hand car

Doing your homework is important when it comes to buying a second-hand car. You need to decide on the car you want and the condition you expect it to be in. Find out what the model is worth for its age and kilometres travelled.

Look at the car’s service history; this will tell you how well the car has been looked after and if it’s had any recurring issues. A car that has had several owners and clocked up a lot of kilometres might be nearing the end. Whereas a one-owner car with low milage and a great service history may reduce your risk of buying a dud.

According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, the typical mileage of a car in Australia is approximately 12,100kms per year (2020).disclaimer

Remember to:

  • Check under the bonnet to ensure the engine bay is clean and the engine oil is in good condition
  • Check the tyres for any structural damage and ample tread
  • Check that the brake lights, headlights, and traffic indicators are working properly
  • Check the panels and paint for any obvious damage
  • Take it for a test drive to check the transmission. Cars that are slow to respond or have jerky gear movements may mean trouble
  • Check that the steering is tight and the acceleration and braking responsive
  • Check that the interior is spacious and comfortable, the air-conditioning works and visibility is good
  • Get a Personal Property Securities Register (PPSR) check done on the car.

Your questions answered

General

Before purchasing a car, you may want to check with the consumer protection agency in your State or Territory to find out your rights. This is especially the case if you are weighing up the pros and cons of purchasing through a licensed car trader versus a private seller.

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.

Applying for a personal loan

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

Your liabilities and other financial commitments, such as an existing personal loan with another lender, will be taken into account when we assess your application for an ANZ Personal Loan.

  

You'll need to provide information on:

  • your income amount and frequency
  • 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

We ask for this information so that we can verify your financial circumstances and assess your ability to repay an ANZ Personal Loan without substantial hardship. You can explore which ANZ Personal Loan may suit your needs by using our tools and calculators. 

  

If you’re not a permanent Australian resident, you may still be eligible to apply for an ANZ personal loan. You will be required to meet specific visa and income verification requirements. Valid visas include a range of working visas and business visas.  

Working visas

Includes all temporary visa subclasses that allow an individual to work in Australia. This typically includes holders of skilled category visas but can also include some family category visas.

Working holiday visas are not acceptable.

Business visas

Includes all temporary/provisional business visa subclasses that allow business people to establish or manage a new or existing business or invest in Australia. This generally includes holders of business owner, senior executive or investor category visas.

For more details please visit an ANZ branch or call 1800 339 410 to discuss your application. You can also find out what a particular visa entitles the holder to by visiting Department of Home Affairs website.

  

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.

We tailor your interest rate based on our assessment of your credit score.

Where your credit history isn’t as long, or as good, or you have made many applications in a short period of time, this may negatively impact your credit score and you may be offered a rate at the higher end of the range.
