I would never use this bank again. I was so offended when they told me I couldn't have a personal loan because I had too much money saved for a personal loan in which I needed just 5000.00 to buy my car outright. – Chantellle from Western Australia, a BankWest personal loan customer.   Reviewed about 15 hours ago

Personal Loans department lack customer service and product knowledge,let alone professionalism. Could not explain why loan they say would take 48hours took 174hours to approve and it was only looked at because we called after a week. Only borrowing $8000 for a car for our son. Been with QFCU for 12years. Definitely seeking to refinance with an organisation that is professional and have excellent product knowledge. – Liz from Victoria, a QANTAS Staff Credit Union personal loan customer.   Reviewed 13 days ago

GE is a rip off and we have had nothing but problems from them. They hassle us 24/7 about paying the debt and we are not even behind on anything!! They ring before the debt is due and then 3 more times during the week or more.

I actually found the customer service at the start of the process above and beyond expectation however when it came to the actually face to face BRANCH component it left a bit to be desired. The call centre staff were very cheerful and helpful. I was impressed... however it did highlight how bad the branch service was unfortunately. – Skye from Queensland, a NAB personal loan customer.   Reviewed 20 days ago

Don't really like anything about the Commonwealth bank.... pay is usually late (bank never can tell me why)? and they will still charge me late fees on my direct debits. :( However i have had this bank account for many years and will remain a loyal customer!

There's no attempt to sweet-talk you into something you don't need or borrow more than you need; unlike the pressure tactics used by the bigger banks. They are also very understanding and communicative should a situation arise where you can't make payment; I've experienced some of the bigger banks before on this and they just plain don't care, no matter what the situation, causing financial pain unreasonably. – Mel from New South Wales, a Sydney Credit Union personal loan customer.   Reviewed 28 days ago

In person i have no problems but when it comes to over the phone contact its rare to get someone you understand, and being a personal loan it should be my choice as to when and where the money goes but i had to go out and get invoices for everything i was using the money for before they would issue the money and even then it was all in bank cheques which was a pain in the butt considering it took me a whole day to organise all the invoices and then they can only transfer some of the loan as cash to my account. I'm of the opinion that if you are contracted to pay this money back it is yours to do as you will and not have to go out and purchase everything at once (it was to help purchase all the appliances etc as i was moving out) so all in all i was very unimpressed by the way i had to use the money. – rachael from New South Wales, a NAB personal loan customer.   Reviewed 28 days ago

This is a terrible car loan company to choose. They took 3 weeks for approval. Each time I had to contact them and tried to push them to get it done. No one would call me up from CUA. After it was approved I was advised to go to the closest branch (Randwick) also I had to join as a member that cost $10. Then after that I had to come back again to draw up a cheque for finance. which had to be another day. But I was told they were too busy and couldn't do it for another 3 working days latter. So I decided I had to select the next closest branch which was (Burwood) which i had to take another day off work to do that. SO when we tried to organise everything with the bank to get the bank cheque we were advised that the person that would be handling my case was the manager. Before the cheque was processed I asked a question "if the deal for the car fell through for any reason would there be any problem?" She told us you can cancel it no problem yeah it happens all the time. But we were not advised yes there is a fee for cancellation. She didn't mention anything about any charges if you cancel the loan. When we went to buy the car afterwords the private car owner decided not to sell his car. So i had to cancel the loan and cheque. This is when all the stress started.. No one from any branch knew what to do. It took a week to cancel the loan in which i was charged interest Daily. Plus I put up with all these fees and trouble and extra days of work I had to take off to go to the branch. Now for some reason the branch manager I initially spoke to is busy or not contactable. CUA just doesn't CARE !!!! IT'S the person that takes the loan out that pushes them to get it done. AND I only successfully received feedback from them because I have made complaint here on Mozo. I STRONGLY ADVISE EVERYONE NOT TO USE CUA. ALSO THEY CAN CHANGE THE RATE ANYTIME! ITS NOT A FIXED RATE!! – TIM from New South Wales, a CUA personal loan customer.   Reviewed 28 days ago

I had my personal loan for my car through Heritage and they were absolutely fantastic. I was always given payout figures and regular updates on my balance throughout the loan and when I wanted to pay out the loan early, I was congratulated instead of being stung with hefty fees. I would always go through Heritage for a loan again. – Joel from Queensland, a Heritage Building Society personal loan customer.   Reviewed 28 days ago
