A personalised interest rate is determined in large part by your credit score. This is based on a range of factors including your history of repaying loans, credit cards, and other bills. In short, the better your credit score, the lower the interest rate you’re likely to be offered.
Speaking of which, it's worth noting that while submitting a full application will likely result in a small, temporary dip to your credit score, simply getting your estimated personalised rate will not impact it.
A comparison rate is the interest rate, plus additional fees and charges you will be expected to pay over the loan term. As comparison rates indicate the true cost of a loan, they make it easier to decide which is best for you.
A fixed rate loan means the interest rate stays the same throughout the loan term. You’ll have the same repayment amount each month and it’s great if you want repayment certainty and stability in your budget.
Your estimate repayments are calculated based on the loan type, loan amount, loan term and your credit score entered. The calculations do not include upfront or continuing credit fees and charges. Lending is to approved applicants only.

Your contracted personal loan repayments will be set to a monthly frequency, meaning you will need to meet the agreed repayment amount by the due date stated on your loan contract each month. To meet this minimum monthly amount, you can however make repayments weekly or fortnightly.

A secured loan is 'secured' against the asset you are borrowing for, such as a car. If you are unable to repay the loan, the lender can sell the asset to cover the costs of the loan.
An unsecured personal loan is a loan that does not require an asset as security. Your income and ability to repay the loan is still assessed, however you don't need an asset to secure the loan.
Your credit score is a number used by lenders to assess how likely you are to repay a loan. Your score is based on the information in your credit report, including:
