Unsecured personal loan
With Bankwest’s unsecured loan you can borrow between $5,000 and $50,000 and choose a term that falls between 3-7 years. The interest rate attached to the loan is fixed, meaning your rate won’t change over the life of the loan. While this is Bankwest’s no frills option it does come with a bit of flexibility allowing you to choose whether you will repay your loan weekly, fortnightly or monthly and you’ll also get an extra repayments facility meaning you can put spare cash to good use by paying off the loan early. But keep in mind repaying the loan before 24 months has passed will result in an early repayment penalty of a few hundred dollars.
Flexible personal loan
As the name suggests, this personal loan comes with plenty of flexibility. You’ll have the ability to deposit additional payments into your loan thanks to the fee free extra repayments feature, without the slap of an early repayment fee if you try to pay it out early and the redraw facility means you’ll have the option of drawing upon those extra repayments. On top of these great features, the flexible personal loan from Bankwest also allows you to set up your repayments on a cycle that suits you (e.g weekly, fortnightly or monthly). But you’ll pay for all this flexibility in the form of a higher interest rate and application fee. Just like the unsecured option, the flexible personal loan from Bankwest lets you borrow an amount from $5k-$50k, however the minimum term is lower at 1 year (maximum 7 years).
Car loan
If you’re a borrower looking for a means to fund your upcoming car purchase, there’s also a car loan available from Bankwest. While you can choose a term that sits between 3 to 7 years, one of the biggest drawcards of Bankwest’s car loan is the high maximum limit, allowing you to borrow up to a whopping $100,000 (minimum $10,000). Generous when you consider many providers put caps on their car loans of up to $50,000. Like the personal loan options from Bankwest, the car loan comes with a fixed interest rate providing repayment certainty and you can set your repayments up weekly, fortnightly or monthly.

Having been a loyal customer for over 52 years. Never overdue with any repayments on any loans. Running a multi million dollar business with them. Investing my SMSF with them now that I am 70. I have a great credit rating. I asked for a small personal loan for a short term while I was buying a new home and had not sold my existing home. They refused and told me to ask my accountant to change the figures on my Superfund statement. Is that legal??? Anyway I have just sold my house and my funds will not be invested with them. Changing banks out of principal. I feel They discriminated against me because of my age. I personally brought 2 teen grandchildren to them to start a savings account. I have 10 more grandchildren. Guess what. Don’t go to Bankwest.

Be really careful with this bank because when you ask for an international transfer of money and the transfer doesn't reach the international account they stole your money. They send the money in France, after telling me that they check every details and everything is Okey for the Transfer, finally two days after I've git a letter from Bankwest who told me that the money doesn't reach the French account because thy don't accept money from outside of the Europe area and I will have my money back If I accept to loose 467 dollars, of course I don't not accept to pay the price of their mistakes, and till that day, two weeks ago, I don't have any money and they don't give me any solution accept to put the blame on someone else.
