Comparison rate warning and base criteria

Base criteria: repayment figures shown in this table are calculated on a loan of $20,000 over 5 years. Repayment estimates use each loan’s advertised interest rate, with the comparison rate shown beside it as a guide to total cost. Where a lender publishes a range of rates, the estimate uses the lowest rate in the range, and the rate you are offered depends on your circumstances. These figures are examples only. They are not a quote, and they may not include all fees and charges.

*Warning: the comparison rate shown is calculated by the lender on its own standard example, usually a $30,000 loan over 5 years. This comparison rate is true only for the example given and may not include all fees and charges. Different terms, fees or other loan amounts might result in a different comparison rate.

Products are selected for relevance to the table and to the filters applied. They are not suggestions or recommendations, and the order they appear in is not a ranking of suitability.
