What security is required to take out a Personal Loan?

The security required will depend upon your individual circumstances. Examples of the type of security we may require are a mortgage over property and a Bill of Sale over an asset such as a motor vehicle. A small fee is payable where this is required. ^

 

Is a redraw facility available?

The Credit Union gives you the option of making extra repayments on your loan and then having the flexibility of being able to redraw on these extra repayments. You need to have your loan in advance by at least $500 & one loan repayment and the minimum redraw is $500. This facility is free of charge and allows you to park extra funds on your loan, thus saving you interest and then redrawing them as required. ^
