Things to consider

when increasing your ANZ Personal Loan amount or term, as you'll be entering into a new credit contract which replaces your existing one. 

New interest rate, terms and conditions

An increased personal loan term or amount means a new credit contract will begin and a new interest rate will apply, which may differ from your existing rate.  To ensure your new increased loan meets your needs, please compare all fees, rates, features and trade-offs with your current personal loan and see how much interest you'll pay over the term of the new loan.  Read the terms and conditions carefully as they may differ to those of your existing loan.

Changes to your insurance options

If you've got Loan Protection Insurance on your existing personal loan, it will be cancelled when the loan is cleared and closed as part of the top-up process. Whilst we no longer offer Loan Protection Insurance on our personal loans, you may want to consider an alternative, like income protection insurance in case of accident or illness, to help keep your repayments and other bills in the green. 

Be aware of any fees that apply

It's important to be aware of the fees that apply in replacing an existing loan with a new personal loan with an increased amount or term. If your existing loan is an ANZ Fixed Rate Personal Loan, early repayment fees and costs will apply. See our fees explained above. 

Redraw funds won't carry over

If your existing loan is an ANZ Variable Rate Personal Loan, any extra repayments you've made will no longer be available for redraw on the new loan. If you choose to increase your loan using a new variable rate personal loan, then you can make extra repayments and build up your redraw funds again over time.

General

ANZ Personal Loan increases, also known as top-ups, are for existing ANZ Personal Loan customers who are looking for more funds or to extend their loan term.

If you have an ANZ Fixed Rate Personal Loan and your loan term or amount is increased, you will incur early repayment costs, which may be significant.

If you'd like to increase your amount or term, you have some choices to make: 

As this will be a new personal loan, it’s important to note that you will have:

  • a new interest rate
  • a new credit contract with new terms and conditions

If approved, your funds will be transferred to your nominated bank account in a lump sum at the start of your new loan term.

You will need to repay the amount borrowed, along with interest accrued and any fees or charges incurred, in regular instalments over a set term.

Your new personal loan may have a different account number to your previous loan, so you may need to re-establish any regular repayments or direct debits with your new loan details.

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.

  

Although you're applying to increase an amount or term on an existing ANZ Personal Loan, your circumstances may have changed since you last applied with us. So, we'll need to update our information and re-assess your ability to support the updated loan amount/term.

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. 

Interest explained

When you apply to increase or extend your existing ANZ Personal Loan, you’re new, personalised interest rate will be based on our assessment of your credit score. Your rate will be within the interest rate range advertised and may be better or worse than your current interest rate.

If you've demonstrated good credit behaviour, such as by making repayments on time for all your credit products and not opening too many credit products, you may be offered a rate in the lower end of the advertised interest rate range.

Where your credit history isn't as good, for example it:

  • isn't very long
  • shows you've defaulted on repayments for your credit products
  • shows you've made many credit applications in a short period of time

you may be offered a rate at the higher end of our advertised interest rate range.

If approved, we'll confirm your interest rate in your letter of offer, which you can choose to accept or not.

Depending on when you applied, your current Personal Loan may not have been based on your credit score.

Explore things to consider when applying for a personal loan.

For joint applications, the interest rate applicable to the joint personal loan will be determined based on the lower credit score of the two applicants.

A comparison rate helps you work out the true cost of a loan. This rate takes other fees and charges into account, like a loan approval fee and loan administration charge in addition to the interest rate. It’s meant to be a fairer way of comparing how much a loan will cost you.

For more information, visit Moneysmart.

Interest is calculated on the unpaid daily balance of your loan and is charged to the loan on a fortnightly or monthly basis (depending on which product you have). The interest rate applied each day is equal to your annual interest rate, divided by 365.

It's important to note that the interest charged to your loan may be different each month for ANZ Fixed Rate and Variable Rate Personal Loans, as it depends on a variety of factors, such as the number of days in that month, the applicable annual interest rate and the unpaid balance of your loan. For the full details about how interest is calculated refer to our Consumer Lending terms and conditions brochure (PDF).

  

Credit score

You can get your credit score from an online credit score provider, such as getcreditscore.com.au. You'll need to supply identification, such as a your driver licence, passport of Medicare card. It'll take around 10 minutes to get your results.

You can also access a more detailed credit report from a credit reporting agency, such as Equifax.  Fees and charges may apply.

Different agencies may hold different information, so you may have a different credit report with more than one agency.  However, we use the Equifax credit score to determine your personalised interest rate, so we recommend that you obtain your credit score from Equifax or getcreditscore.com.au to get the most accurate idea of what interest rate you may receive.

If your credit report includes incorrect or out-of-date information, contact the credit reporting agency to fix it free of charge.

The good news is your credit score is dynamic, so it can improve depending on how you manage your debt. You can actively improve your credit score by paying all your bills or loan repayments on time. The Moneysmart website offers a few options for improving your credit score.

Different agencies can hold different information, you may have a credit report with more than one agency.

ANZ uses the credit score provided by Equifax to determine your applicable interest rate. We recommend that you access your credit report or credit score from Equifax or getcreditscore.com.au for a more accurate estimate.

Any information provided is general in nature and does not take into account your personal needs, financial circumstances or objectives and you should consider whether it is appropriate for you. ANZ recommends you read the applicable Terms and Conditions booklets and the ANZ Financial Services Guide before deciding whether to acquire, or continue to hold, a particular product.

We tailor your interest rate based on our assessment of your credit score. Where you have demonstrated good credit based behaviour, such as not opening too many credit products or making repayments on time for your other credit products, this will be reflected in your credit score and you may be offered a rate in the lower end of our range. 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.
