How does a secured car loan from Bendigo Bank work?

Bendigo Bank offers both secured and unsecured options for personal loans. A secured personal loan is where you offer an asset as security in case of a default. In the case of a default on your loan the lender will repossess the asset. The interest rates for secured loans are lower because it is considered less of a risk for the lender. Take a look at the loan options offered by Bendigo Bank below.

Hi Julie,


Thank you for leaving a question! Car loan with Bendigo Bank would fall under a personal loan.


To be eligible to apply for a Bendigo Bank personal loan you must:

Be over 18 years of age

Be an Australian citizen or permanent resident

Be in paid employment (subject to Bendigo Bank’s lending criteria)

Have a good credit history

Use the loan only for personal purposes


You may check directly with Bendigo Bank to discuss your information in detail if you evaluate that all eligibility requirements are met.


Cheers,

Val

How long will a pre-approval take for a car loan?

Hi Ben,


Thank you for your comment.


It may take just a few hours to get pre-approved for a car loan. Pre-approval for a car loan can last between 30 to 120 days depending on the lender. You can check our guide to car loan pre-approvals to get some tips and see the ins and outs of pre-approved car loans. I hope this helps.

Hi, I’m just trying to find the best/cheapest interest rate on a loan to consolidate 2 credit cards. Thank you

Hi Lisa,


Thanks for your inquiry.


Since you are looking to consolidate 2 credit card balances, you have a few options available to you.



  • Debt consolidation personal loan. This involves taking out a new personal loan with a lower interest rate and fees than your current one and transferring your debt across.

  • Balance transfer credit card. This allows you to apply for a new credit card with a limit higher than your personal loan debt and transfer your debt onto the card. You’ll then pay a promotional 0% p.a. rate for a limited period of time on the debt, after which a standard rate (usually above 20% p.a.) will apply.

  • You can press the link above and you will then redirected to the page where you can compare your options. Once you have chosen a particular lender/credit card, you may then click on the “Go to site” button and you will be redirected to the provider’s website where you can proceed with your application or get in touch with their representatives for further assistance.


    Before applying, please ensure that you meet all the eligibility criteria and read through the details of the needed requirements as well as the relevant Product Disclosure Statements/Terms and Conditions when comparing your options before making a decision on whether it is right for you. You can also contact the provider if you have specific questions.


    Best regards,

    Rench

    Hi, I have had previous bad credit and also on carers and single parent pension, also receiving child support and a private payment via my Bendigo account. I have been rejected via other finance as I fall below the national average. Are there any car loans that can help finance a car loan in this situation?

    Hi Kel,


    Thanks for reaching out to us.


    Please check our guide on car loans for single parents. It will give you helpful info and you can compare your options. You can also have a look on our page about bad credit car loans. You may make use of the loan calculator to give you an idea on how much you can borrow. I also suggest that you read more about how to improve your credit score to increase your creditworthiness.


    Hope this helps.

    Hey how’s it going,

    I’m just wondering where it states that (must be in paid employment) or subject to Bendigo banks lending criteria.

    I’m a full time carer on a centerlink payment is that considered as paid employment?

    Hope someone can let me know

    Hi Quinn,


    Thanks for reaching out.


    Bendigo Bank generally accepts Centrelink benefits as income, but the approval of your loan is subject to other eligibility criteria.


    You may want to check loans for Centrelink recipients featured on our website. Open that link and you should find a comparison table. Once you’re done comparing, please select the “Go to Site” button to be safely redirected to your chosen lender.


    Please make sure that you have read the relevant T&Cs or PDS of the loan products before making a decision. Moreover, check the eligibility requirements as well and consider whether the product is right for you.


    Also if you can, contact first the lender and discuss your options and chances of approval before you send anything final for your application.


    I hope this helps. Should you have further questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out again.


    Have a wonderful day!


    Cheers,

    Anndy
