Secured Personal Loans

Secured
Personal Loans

A secured loan lets you borrow against an asset like a car, boat, or home. Because there’s security behind the loan, you may be able to access a larger amount and a lower interest rate. It’s a smart way to borrow if you have something to secure it with.

Why do I need a secured loan?

I want a lower interest rate

Using your car, home, or boat as security can help you get a sharper rate on your personal loan. It shows the lender you’re serious and gives them peace of mind.

I’ve been declined elsewhere

If you’ve struggled to get approved, offering something like your home or car as security can improve your chances.

I need to borrow more or repay over a longer time

Putting up security gives the lender confidence, so you may be able to borrow a higher amount or take longer to pay it back.

Debt Consolidation

Combine your personal loans, car loans, credit cards, or hire purchases into one simple debt consolidation loan.

Our team will work with trusted lenders to help lower your stress, save on interest, and make repayments easier to manage.

The broker/introducer fee can be added to the total loan amount and is not required to be paid up front.
