Start your application online
First and foremost, start the process by completing your application online with us. This tells us more about you, your financial situation and the vehicle you’re after. This is a fast and user-friendly form to fill out and can be completed within just ten minutes.
2
Submit your documents
In addition to filling out the form, we may also need additional documents to verify aspects of your profile, such as your income and employment. This can also be done quickly and easily online, with no need to sift through and send physical documentation.
3
Receive formal approval
After you’ve submitted all the required documentation, we’ll assess your application. If everything passes our requirements, we’ll be in touch to offer formal finance approval and send through a loan agreement for you to sign and return to us.

Finalise your vehicle and settle
Once approved, you’ll be able to finalise the purchase of your vehicle with your dealer or private seller. We’ll organise settlement with the vendor and pay them directly, so all that’s left for you to do is drive away in your new or used vehicle

Common questions answered

Yes – you don’t have to wait until your arrangement is over to apply. We can work with you to see if we can offer a suitable vehicle loan product even if you’re still under a Part IX debt agreement.
Yes – if you’ve defaulted on a loan or anything else and need a second chance at car finance, we may still be able to offer a product to you. However, whether you’re approved will ultimately depend on the nature of the defaults and other aspects of your profile.
Yes – we take applications from those who have previously taken out payday loans, so you can rest assured these won’t automatically disqualify you from approval for your vehicle finance deal.

We accept a diverse range of incomes as part of our vehicle loan eligibility criteria. This means that we may be able to work with you if you’re earning a stable, fixed income from Centrelink. This can be in addition to other streams or on its own if it satisfies our income requirements.
