Heritage Bank personal loans

Heritage Bank has a range of personal loans to suit different borrower profiles and preferences. Some of its options include unsecured, secured, fixed and variable personal loans and car loans. The standard personal loan is designed for borrowers who wish to take out loans of $5,000 or more and make their repayments weekly or fortnightly.

The loan amount can be paid back over a period of up to five years for fixed-rate personal loans or up to 10 years for variable-rate personal loans. Borrowers can also make extra, lump sum repayments if they have the capacity and then redraw those repayments if needed. The maximum loan amount for unsecured loans is $25,000, while borrowers with secured loans can take up to $100,000, subject to eligibility and approval.

Heritage Bank personal loans can be used for a range of different purposes including:

• Debt consolidation
• Cars and motorcycles
• Education expenses
• Wedding financing
• Holidays
• Investing
• Renovations
• Medical bills

Heritage Bank personal loans have a number of features that may appeal. Borrowers are given the freedom to pay back the loan amount in lump sums or in regular, smaller instalments and can redraw any extra repayments. They can also opt for either a fixed or variable interest rate. The loans are available for a range of purposes, including holidays, debt consolidation and renovations.

Existing customers with a Heritage Bank term deposit can secure it against a variable rate personal loan. Borrowers can borrow up to $100,000 for terms of between one and 10 years.

Although there is a small, ongoing fee charged, the application fee is waived on the standard personal loan. The interest rate is also reasonable compared to some of Heritage Bank’s counterparts, but prudent borrowers would be wise to compare rates at the time of application to make sure they are getting a good deal.
