Smarter Matching Through Pre-Assessment

We're not a loan comparison website. At Loan Finance Online, we go one step further by running an initial eligibility pre-assessment on your enquiry, before sending it to our panel of brokers - meaning you only get matched with loan and finance providers that are more likely to be relevant to you.

This helps save time and can reduce the chances of applying for products that don’t fit your profile, supporting more informed borrowing decisions without the confusion or guesswork.

Prequalification is a general eligibility check only and is not a loan approval or offer; any final assessment and advice will be provided by your matched broker or lender.

Loan Finance for Any Purpose

We provide tools, tips, information and quotes for a range of loan finance needs through our extensive broker partner network.

Personal Advice

All enquiries, including quote comparisons, credit assistance and any form of personal advice, are provided by a licensed specialist broker or lender, selected from our Australia-wide referral partner network, who will communicate with you directly after you submit a loan or finance quote request.

Broker Matching

A specialist Finance Broker or Lender will be assigned to your enquiry based on your location, specific requirements and your personal circumstances, as identified from the answers you provide in your loan quote request.

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

Free service

Our service is free to the public. We may receive a referral fee or commission from your matched broker - regardless of whether you choose to proceed with any of their recommendations.

Any fee paid to us by your broker is a general marketing expense and is not directly passed on to you nor added to your loan.

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.
