FUNDS ON-CALL
A Flexi Loan is a different type of personal loan. Instead of having to take your whole balance in one lump sum and pay interest on that, you choose to withdraw as much as you need, whenever you need to – and only pay interest on those amounts. It also gives you more choice in how you repay the amount borrowed.
Also known as ‘a line of credit’, it’s our alternative finance option that could help with your personal cashflow and unexpected expenses.
Why choose a Flexi Loan?
Key Flexi Loan benefits:
- A flexible way to access funds, with a limit of $4,000 - $50,000 1
- Interest is only charged on the funds you use, not your entire limit
- An ongoing variable interest rate of 16.99% p.a.
- $0 redraw (withdrawal) fee.
How could you use a Flexi Loan
Unexpected expenses
A ready reserve of funds for anything from vet bills to car repairs.
Cashflow and budget control
Gives you extra control if your income or expenses are irregular.
Ongoing expenses
Thinking of continuing education, a wedding, some home improvements, starting a family or something else?
How Flexi Loan works?
Unlike our other personal loans, a Flexi Loan is a reserve of funds you’re already approved for, that you can access again and again without having to reapply. This is also known as a ‘flexible line of credit’.
- You can use as little ($500 minimum) or as much of your available balance as you need
- You access funds by transferring them from your Flexi Loan account to another Westpac account
- You can also make BPAY® payments directly from your Flexi Loan account
- There’s a choice of repayment options to work with your cashflow, including our repayment instalment plan 2
While a minimum monthly repayment is required when there’s a balance owing, because there is no set loan end date, repayment discipline is needed – to help lower the amount of interest you’ll be charged.
