NAB car loan FAQs

What do NAB’s interest rates look like, and should I go for a fixed or variable rate?

NAB car loan interest rates may not be the most competitive in the market, one reason being because they are unsecured, where your car isn’t tied to the contract. We’ll go through this in the next FAQ, but first, here’s the difference between fixed and variable rates:

A fixed rate is set for the entire car loan term, so you’ll know how much interest NAB will charge you from the get go. This loan doesn’t come with a redraw facility for access to extra repayments, which is why you may prefer a variable rate loan instead. Unlike fixed rates, variable rates may be adjusted while you’re repaying the loan. This could work in or against your favour, so it’s a good idea to budget for potential rate changes if you choose a variable rate loan.

Does car loan security really matter?

It all comes down to personal preference. Secured loans are generally cheaper, as they are known to have lower interest rates. But that doesn’t mean you should rule out NAB’s unsecured loans, they have flexible features and don’t involve the paperwork attached to secured loans.

Any barriers to how much I can borrow?

First, you’ll need to have a clean credit history so NAB can trust your loan repayments will be made on time. Another possible barrier to taking out a car loan is not being employed. Remember, the bank will only lend you what you can afford to borrow, and loan amounts range from $5k to $55k. If you want to buy a more expensive set of wheels, head to our comparison hub and check out other car loans in the market.

How often would I need to make repayments?

You can pick between weekly, fortnightly or monthly loan repayment frequencies. This can help you get the timing just right for your budget.

How long can I take to pay off my loan?

Your car loan contract can be written up for 1 year, and 7 years is the longest length. Something to keep in mind is that repayments are spread across loan terms, so what you repay each month on a 2 year term will be different to a 5 year term.

Can I make more repayments and be ahead of schedule?

Absolutely, if you have a little extra cash sitting in your bank account and want to shave off some of your debt, you can make additional repayments.

And what about early loan repayment penalties?

There are none. With NAB, you don’t need to wait around for the last repayment due date and are free to clear your debt without being charged fees.

What’s a redraw facility?

Good question, a redraw facility (only available with NAB’s variable rate car loans) gives you access to any extra repayments you’ve made, similar to withdrawing money from a regular bank account.

Can I only buy a new vehicle with NAB?

No, you don’t have to. In fact, as these loans are unsecured, you aren’t confined to certain cars and can pick any one you like.

What if I make a repayment late?

It’s a scenario you should try to prevent, so you maintain a reputation for paying your dues. Set up automatic payments and you’ll be all up-to-date (provided you’re keeping funds in the “from” account).

I think this loan is right for me. How do I apply?

It’s a painless process, just be prepared to give NAB details they need such as:

  • Your driver’s licence number
  • Your residential address
  • Full disclosure of any outstanding debts
  • Your last payslip (if you aren’t currently banking with NAB)
  • Your most recent tax statement (if self-employed)

Next, head right over to NAB in person, give them a call...or the easiest method of applying is likely right here online!

I couldn’t fault the service

NAB has joined with micro Shepard finance to make it easy for those on low income to access loans. Last year I needed a loan without the huge interest rates, and NAB was the place to help. 0% interest rates! No hidden fees, no extra costs. What I borrowed is what I will pay back and that helped me buy my family a new car. I would recommend this service To anyone. You can’t go wrong.
