Our verdict

NAB’s Unsecured Personal Loan (Variable) offers borrowers between $5,000 and $55,000 over 1 to 7 year terms, with competitive interest rates starting from 8.49% p.a. up to 20.49% p.a. Its current variable rate range is fairly standard, though there are some cheaper options (at the lower end) available for similar loans in the Mozo database.

Ultimately the rate you are offered is based on your personal circumstances, including your income, assets, debts and expenses, credit history and your banking history with NAB, if that’s applicable. So you could pick up a rate at the lower end should you meet the bank’s criteria.

With NAB’s Personal Loan you can also enjoy the flexibility of weekly, fortnightly or monthly repayments, and there are no penalties when you make early repayments. Also of note, NAB allows extra repayments to be accessed via a redraw facility if you need that flexibility.

Overall this personal loan offers competitive rates and features, though does come with a couple fees to consider: a hefty application fee of $250 and a monthly fee of $15. On the flipside, no exit fees or late payment fees is handy to have.

*This equates to comparison rates from 9.54% p.a. to 21.49% p.a., based on $30,000 over 5 years.

* WARNING: The Comparison Rate combines the lender's interest rate, fees and charges into a single rate to show the true cost of a personal loan. The comparison rates displayed are calculated based on a loan of $30,000 for a term of 5 years or a loan of $10,000 for a term of 3 years as indicated, based on monthly principal and interest repayments, on a secured basis for secured loans and an unsecured basis for unsecured loans. This comparison rate applies only to the example or examples given. Different amounts and terms will result in different comparison rates. Costs such as redraw fees or early repayment fees, and cost savings such as fee waivers, are not included in the comparison rate but may influence the cost of the loan.
