More Australians are turning their eyes to electric vehicles, and car loan lenders are joining in.

MoveBank now offers a loan specifically for environmentally friendly vehicles: the Green Fixed Rate Car Loan.

The new green car loan starts from a low 4.09% p.a. (4.35% p.a. comparison rate*) and it comes with redraw facilities and free extra repayments. You can also borrow between $10,000 to $150,000 which is great since electric vehicles sometimes run on the more expensive side.

To qualify for MoveBank’s new green loan, you must comply with the MoveBank Green Vehicle Criteria which states that your vehicle must be one of the following:

  • Pure electric
  • Plug-in hybrid electric
  • Regenerative hybrid

All vehicles must have an internal combustion engine that produces less than 125 g/km tailpipe CO2.

How does MoveBank’s green car loan compare?

For starters, the Green Fixed Rate Car Loan is 183 basis points below the 5.92% average fixed car loan rate in Mozo’s database. It is also 207 basis points below the 6.16% average fixed green loan rates and among the lowest green car loans available in Mozo’s database.

MoveBank is one of the many lenders starting to offer sustainable financial services to their customers as a way to help with the climate crisis and encourage Aussies to consider greener options.
