How does the Northern Inland CU Smart Personal Loan work?

Northern Inland CU’s smart personal loan comes with a secured and unsecured option, along with both variable and fixed interest rates for both loans. The secured loan requires a vehicle or term deposit as loan security and your interest rate will depend on both the type of interest and the age of the vehicle. Loans secured by vehicles 0 to 5 years old have lower interest rates than loans secured by vehicles 6 to 10 years old. For unsecured loans, the borrowing amount is lower and the interest rate is higher. Fixed interest rates in general come with higher interest rates than their variable counterparts.

What features does the Northern Inland CU Smart Personal Loan offer?

  • Secured and unsecured loans. Northern Inland CU offers both secured and unsecured loans. The secured loan option requires a vehicle as loan security. Interest rates are lower than unsecured loans, and borrowing amounts are higher. The unsecured loan does not require loan security.
  • Variable and fixed rate. You can choose between fixed or variable rates. Generally, variable rates are lower than fixed rates. With variable rates, your repayments may fluctuate based on the market rate. Fixed rate loans come with the certainty of predictable repayments.
  • Varying loan terms. Your loan term can range from 1 to 5 years for unsecured loans and secured fixed rate loans, while you can get up to 7 years for secured variable rate loans.
  • Additional repayments for variable rate loans. You can make extra repayments for variable rate loans without incurring a break fee.
  • Redraws for variable rate loans. You can redraw your additional repayments for variable rate loans. The minimum redraw available is $200.
  • Flexible repayments. You can make weekly, fortnightly or monthly repayments based on what suits you.
