What is a secured personal loan?

A secured personal loan is merely a personal loan that is backed by equity such as a motorbike, car (new or used), caravan or boat. Our medium and large loans range from $2,100 up to $10,000 and you repay secured loans over 9 to 24 months. All personal loans above $2,001 are considered secured and must be backed by security. We are upfront about all loan costs because we don’t want you to apply for a secured loan if you cannot risk the security. So, if you’re looking for a smaller loan, we offer those too!

What is an unsecured personal loan?

An unsecured personal loan is a personal loan that doesn’t have to be backed up security. Nifty unsecured loans start from $300 and go up to $2,000, and must be repaid over a 6 to 12 month period. Are you a bit of a commitment-phobe? Then, unsecured loans might just be your perfect match. Without a need for security, our unsecured loans are easy to repay with flexible loan terms. When it comes to the unexpected, Nifty Loans is prepared to help get you back on track.

What other types of loans can be secured?

Secured loans can be used for just about any purpose, this is provided the security is of equal or greater value than the loan itself. With loans for larger purchases, secured loans offer more security for the bank and less interest for the customer. So what types of loans can be secured?

• Car Loans – If you do not own a car but are looking to buy one, car loans can be secured against the vehicle being purchased. This can be brand new or used. The loan terms generally range from between 1-5 years and the interest rate is usually lower than an unsecured loan. 

• Home Loans – When taking out a home loan, the property in question is then used as security against the loan. This provides less risk for the large loan if it was to fail, as the bank would then take ownership of the property to pay off the amount owing if needed. 

• Term deposit loans – Term deposits work like a high interest savings account for a large amount and allows you to invest for a set amount of time agreed with the bank and get a fixed interest rate. These can be useful to stop dipping into savings when saving for bigger items like a car, motorbike or boat, as it does not allow for easy access to the funds. 

• Investment/Margin loans – A margin or investment loan is a secured line of credit which allows you to borrow funds to invest. This loan is secured against your shares or managed funds and can potentially increase the size of your investment returns and allow you to reach your financial goals faster. Although borrowing money to invest gives access to more money to invest, there are high risks associated with this so it is always best to do your research and ensure this is right for you before committing.
