How do I ensure a low interest loan?
16 May 2008
Low interest loan terms can be very difficult to find, but there are certain ways you can guarantee that you get a good deal. For one, choose a variable rate over a fixed rate, at least for the moment. Interest rates in Australia still seem poised to rise further, and fixed rates will take this into account. As fixed rates are usually higher than variable ones at first, they charge you more in interest when your principal is at its largest and can lead to higher overall interest charges. A variable rate may change, but it's usually about the lowest that can be afforded by the lender, and thus will provide a low interest loan.
A secured loan can also be a good way to ensure a low interest loan, as one of the benefits of securing a loan is usually a lower rate. If you mean to purchase a car with your loan, then some secured loans can be secured with the car you are buying, making them an excellent low interest loan option.
