What is a personal loan for debt consolidation?

A Westpac Debt Consolidation Loan allows you to combine multiple debts such as, but not limited to, store cards, credit cards, hire purchase and existing loans into one single loan. This means one interest rate, one regular repayment and an end date of when you could become debt free. There’s no early repayment fees so if you have available funds you could pay your loan off faster.

Benefits.

  • Combine multiple debts into a single loan, with one regular repayment.
  • Flexible repayment options include fortnightly and monthly repayments.
  • Apply to borrow up to $50,000, or maybe more based on your circumstances. 
  • Standard loan terms from 6 months to 5 years.
  • No fees for additional or lump sum repayments.
  • Apply for additional funds at any time.

Interest rate.

If you do not pay amounts when they are due and this causes your loan account to exceed your limit, the rate of interest that applies to that overlimit amount will be the interest rate + 5% p.a.
