Overview of Bank of Melbourne's personal loans

Unsecured personal loans

With the Bank of Melbourne’s unsecured personal loan you’ll have the option of choosing an interest rate that is either fixed or variable. While the fixed rate option comes with the benefit of knowing your interest rate is locked in over the term of the loan, you’ll miss out on the flexible features of an extra repayments and redraw facility that come with the variable rate loan. Other than that both options are relatively similar providing loan amounts between $3,000 and $40,000, as well as charging an upfront fee when you take out the loan and a small ongoing fee.

Secured personal loans

If you’re looking for a loan to fund your new ride, the Bank of Melbourne’s secured personal loan could be for you. The secured loan also comes with either a fixed or variable interest rate, with both considerably lower than the rates offered with the unsecured alternative. All you’ll need to do to nab this better deal is put up the car you’re purchasing as security for the loan. Of course, you’ll want to make sure you can comfortably repay the loan as the catch of a secured loan is the Bank of Melbourne can sell your car if you forfeit on the loan. On top of a great rate, the secured loan also allows you to borrow more with amounts capped at a high $80,000.
