The Finder Personal and Car Loan Awards 2024 recognise Australia's best personal loans and car loans. Using 12 months of market data and a robust methodology, Finder's experts analyse the rates and fees for every personal and car loan in our database to determine the best loans in 5 categories.
Finder Secured Personal Loan 2024 winners
Pepper Money's Secured Personal Loan won the Secured Personal Loan Award this year. The main reason this loan won is because of its consistently low interest rates. But the lack of any application fee or monthly service fee was also a major point in its favour.
Highly commended
Now Finance's Secured Personal Loan was one of the strongest performers in this year's Secured Personal Loan Award. The loan has a very strong combination of a low rate and no fees.
Illawarra Credit Union's Secured Fixed Personal Loan (New) has very competitive interest rates and low fees, making it one of the stronger offers on the market.

Just like in the secured personal loan category, Pepper Money took out the Unsecured Personal Loan Award in 2024. Pepper Money's Unsecured Personal Loan boasts similarly low rates and no fees, putting it in the top spot.
