Loan Finance Online :: Home

Personal & Business Loan Finance

Loan Finance Online helps Australians explore real loan and finance options through a free referral service, with an initial check of eligibility for referral. With one simple quote request, you select the type of finance you are seeking, and we use your answers to check whether your enquiry meets the referral criteria of at least one participating broker or lender. Whether it’s personal finance or business funding, a referred broker or lender can help you explore options based on your circumstances.

Smarter Matching Through Referral Eligibility Checks

We're not a loan comparison website. At Loan Finance Online, we run an initial referral eligibility check on your enquiry before referring it to a participating broker or lender. You must meet the referral criteria set by at least one participating broker or lender; criteria vary by product, and a referral may not always be available.

This can help save time by connecting you with a participating broker or lender that accepts enquiries for your selected type of finance.

This check is for referral eligibility only and is not a credit assessment, loan approval or offer; any subsequent loan assessment and advice are provided by the referred broker or lender, within their service and authorisation.

Flexible Solutions for Australian Borrowers

We work with a wide range of Australian brokers and lenders, each offering different loan products, approval criteria, and risk profiles.

Whether you're self-employed, have limited documentation, excellent credit, or are rebuilding your financial standing, there may be options available, subject to lender criteria.

Our platform supports everything from secured and unsecured personal loans to vehicle finance, startup business loans, and specialist funding — helping you connect with brokers or lenders to discuss options for your situation.

Our broker partners will seek to provide you with competitive rates and options available from their panel of lenders, based on your circumstances. Actual rates and product features will vary and not all lenders or products in the market are represented.

Loan Finance for a Range of Purposes

We provide tools, tips and information for a range of loan finance needs, with quotes provided by participating brokers or lenders through our referral partner network.

Personal Advice

Any quote comparisons, credit assistance or personal advice are provided by a participating licensed broker or lender within their service and authorisation, not by this website. A broker or lender from our Australia-wide referral partner network may contact you directly after you submit a loan or finance quote request.

Broker Matching

Your enquiry may be allocated to a participating finance broker or lender based on the product category you select and the information in your loan quote request, together with operational factors such as availability, capacity, timing and bidding settings. Allocation is a referral, not a recommendation of a financial product.

For this reason, it is important that you provide complete and accurate answers when you submit your enquiry.

Free service

Our referral service is free to the public. We may receive a referral fee or commission from a participating broker or lender for your enquiry.

We do not charge you for the referral. Separate broker or lender fees and loan charges may apply if you proceed.

Frequently Asked Questions

    IMPORTANT: Costs and risks of unsecured personal loans
    The following information is specific to unsecured personal loans.
    Minimum period for repayment 6 months, maximum period 5 years.
    The maximum Annual Percentage Rate (APR) including all fees and charges is 36% for small, shorter term loans. Longer term loans for larger amounts may be available for an APR of 15% or lower.
    For example, a $1,000 loan over 6 months could require a fortnightly repayment amount of as much as $96.92 including total costs (interest fees and charges) of $260 in addition to the amount that you borrowed. This is an illustration only; actual costs will vary between lenders and based on your circumstances.
    Secured loans such as home loans, car loans, etc. are usually a much cheaper finance option. The interest rate will be different depending on what you are financing. For example, home loan interest rates will be typically lower than for a car, boat, caravan or truck loan.
