Benefits Of Obtaining A Personal Loan From NOW Finance

When comparing personal loans, it’s essential to look beyond the interest rate. Some lenders promote low rates upfront but include extra charges that increase the total cost. These can include application fees, monthly account fees, missed payment charges or penalties for repaying early.

At NOW Finance, we take a different approach. Our personal loans are designed to be clear and straightforward from the beginning. With no fees, fixed repayments and a focus on transparency, we help you avoid surprises and stay in control of your finances.

What to expect from a NOW Finance personal loan

A NOW Finance personal loan is built to support a wide range of financial needs. Whether you’re planning home improvements, consolidating existing debts, covering education or preparing for a milestone event, our loans provide a structured and flexible way to manage expenses.

You can borrow from between $5,000 to $100,000, with the choice between secured and unsecured loan options. We offer fixed repayments, transparent terms and a straightforward online process from start to finish.

No hidden fees, no unexpected costs

One of the key personal loan benefits we offer is our no-fee structure. That means:

  • No upfront application fees
  • No ongoing monthly or account maintenance fees
  • No missed payment fees
  • No early repayment or exit fees

With no additional costs, your comparison rate is the same as your interest rate. This makes it easier to compare loans and understand exactly what you’ll be repaying over time. Learn more about how our personal loans work before applying.

We offer personal loan terms from 18 months to 7 years, with the option to repay weekly or fortnightly. You can also make extra repayments at any time without penalty.
