Westpac offers a range of personal loans for a variety of purposes. You can opt for a unsecured personal loan with interest rates starting from 7.99% p.a., or use the flexi loan like a line of credit. Interest rates for flexi loans are higher, starting from 16.99% p.a.
Flexi Loan. This loan allows you to withdraw funds up to an agreed-upon limit without reapplying, working like a line of credit rather than a traditional personal loan. This is an option for borrowers looking for flexibility. The Flexi Loan has a credit limit of between $4,000 and $50,000 so it is useful for a variety of purposes. Westpac charges no fee for additional withdrawals and there is no early repayment fee.
Personal Loan. This is designed for individuals who want to have a fixed interest rate loan. It is an unsecured loan that can be used for a variety of reasons such as home renovations, education expenses or a car purchase. Terms of between 1 year and 7 years are available, and you can apply for between $4,000 and $50,000. It's also possible to repay your loan faster, but if you have loan terms of longer than two years and pay back the loan within those two years, a $175 fee applies. This fee is waived if you refinance to another personal loan from Westpac.
Car Loan. Looking to buy a new or used car? This loan features fixed interest rates and repayment terms of between 1 year and 7 years. You can borrow between $10,000 and $100,000 to buy a car which will be used as the security for the loan. Keep in mind there's a set-up fee of $250 and a monthly service fee of $12.

Westpac personal loan repayment calculator: How much will a Westpac personal loan cost?
Westpac offers a personal loan calculator on its website to help you determine the cost of using its personal loan. You start by selecting whether you want to calculate the costs of a car loan or an unsecured personal loan, and then you input the following information:

Your preferred loan term
The interest rate and comparison rate of Westpac's personal loan will be entered for you

The loan amount, estimated interest cost and estimated total cost of your loan will be displayed. To adjust these, simply scroll back up and select a different loan amount or terms.

Important information about this website
Finder makes money from featured partners, but editorial opinions are our own.
Finder is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We are committed to our readers and stand by our editorial principles
We try to take an open and transparent approach and provide a broad-based comparison service. However, you should be aware that while we are an independently owned service, our comparison service does not include all providers or all products available in the market.
Some product issuers may provide products or offer services through multiple brands, associated companies or different labeling arrangements. This can make it difficult for consumers to compare alternatives or identify the companies behind the products. However, we aim to provide information to enable consumers to understand these issues.
We make money by featuring products on our site. Compensation received from the providers featured on our site can influence which products we write about as well as where and how products appear on our page, but the order or placement of these products does not influence our assessment or opinions of them, nor is it an endorsement or recommendation for them.
Products marked as 'Top Pick', 'Promoted' or 'Advertisement' are prominently displayed either as a result of a commercial advertising arrangement or to highlight a particular product, provider or feature. Finder may receive remuneration from the Provider if you click on the related link, purchase or enquire about the product. Finder's decision to show a 'promoted' product is neither a recommendation that the product is appropriate for you nor an indication that the product is the best in its category. We encourage you to use the tools and information we provide to compare your options.
Where our site links to particular products or displays 'Go to site' buttons, we may receive a commission, referral fee or payment when you click on those buttons or apply for a product.
When products are grouped in a table or list, the order in which they are initially sorted may be influenced by a range of factors including price, fees and discounts; commercial partnerships; product features; and brand popularity. We provide tools so you can sort and filter these lists to highlight features that matter to you.
