Personal Loans & Car Loans

The documents required may vary depending on your financial situation, but you’ll generally need to provide:

• A current ID, either an Australian Passport or a valid Australian Driver’s Licence
• Recent bank statements showing your income, expenses, and savings
• Payslips or proof of income
• Employment details, including at least 12 months of history where applicable

Having these documents ready helps speed up your loan assessment and ensures a smoother application process.

No. Getting a quote for a Car Loan or Personal Loan with NOW Finance won’t affect your credit score.

When you request a quote, we perform a soft credit enquiry (known as an Access Seeker check) to check your eligiblity and provide you with a personalised quote. This won’t impact your credit score.

If you decide to proceed with a full loan application, we will do a full credit check (known as a hard enquiry). This may appear on your credit file (as is standard with all lenders) and could impact your credit score.

Yes, you may be able to refinance your NOW Finance Personal Loan to better suit your current financial situation. Refinancing means replacing your existing loan with a new one, which may offer lower interest rates, different repayment terms and access additional funds.

You might consider refinancing if your credit score has improved, your income has increased, or market rates have dropped.

Please note that refinancing involves a new credit assessment and credit check, and eligibility depends on your existing loan balance and our lending criteria. There is a minimum additional lend of $3,000 required to refinance an existing loan. Make sure to review your personal circumstances and the loan terms to ensure refinancing is suitable for you.
