We know that applying for a personal loan can be confusing at times, even daunting – that’s why we work hard to ensure we provide our customers with a seamless, simple and transparent application process, supported by our accredited brokers who are experts in securing finance and do the heavy lifting for you throughout the loan application process. 

To be eligible for a Metro loan, you’ll need to show evidence of savings history and your general financial position with three months’ worth of bank statements. In addition, you need to be under 25 years old and have no previous finance greater than $5,000 payable in fixed instalments.

Definitely! You can apply jointly for a used car loan with Metro. In order to be eligible for a joint loan, applicants must be married or in a de facto relationship and reside at the same address. When assessing a joint loan application, we will use the credit score that is greater of the two.

As the name suggests, a secured car loan is offered when a bank or lender has security over the asset it is providing a loan for. In this case, the car. If for whatever reason you were unable to repay the loan, the lender would be able to resell your vehicle to recoup the money it loaned you.

With an unsecured car loan, the lender has no security over the vehicle, and no straightforward way to recover its costs if you cannot make the repayments, which means that it will usually offer lower borrowing limits, higher interest rates, and shorter loan-repayment terms.
