When you apply for a loan with MoneyPlace the first step is to get a rate estimate, which takes just 2 minutes to complete and gives you an indicative interest rate, repayment amount and establishment fee.
This can help you understand how much you might be able to borrow for your car, and is completely obligation-free. Rate estimates are valid for 30 days.
Unsecured loans allow you to buy any car, no matter the age or condition, and they also come with less restrictions on what you could do with your vehicle. They can be a good option for someone who plans on modifying their vehicle, or only taking out third party insurance.
Secured loans tend to represent less risk to lenders, and so typically have more favourable aspects for borrowers. At MoneyPlace, if you take out a secured loan, you may be able to access a higher borrowing limit, a lower interest rate, or both.
This is a routine situation and nothing to be worried about. If you submit an application for a secured loan but are unable to provide the collateral to secure your loan — for example because the value of your vehicle is insufficient, or you changed your mind and chose a different car — we are able to remove the security, and proceed with your application for an unsecured loan.
Grab a seat and get your personalised rate estimate online in just two minutes. We'll need to know some basic information about the car you want to use to secure your loan.
After you have submitted your full application, we'll need to verify some details of the vehicle you are using as collateral. This is done entirely remotely, so there's no need for a physical inspection.
Once your loan is approved, whether your funds are going to your seller, your finance company or your bank account, they will typically be disbursed in one business day.
