Looking to ditch one of the most expensive fees associated with taking out a car loan or a personal loan? OurMoneyMarket is giving eligible customers a helping hand this end of financial year with a waived application fee offer.

Taking out a personal loan can be a costly and time consuming exercise. One of the most common ways Australians can get stung is by going through the effort of filling in an application, only to be hit with a costly application fee.

In fact, RateCity data shows (accurate at the time of writing):

  • The average personal loan application fee is $184
  • The average car loan application fee is $246

Opting for a lender that waives this fee may be one way to help keep upfront costs down. The End of Financial Year Special offer from OurMoneyMarket sees eligible customers benefit from a $0 application fee, if they apply and settle before June 30th 2023.

As you can see, Westpac may offer a lower minimum interest rate for car loan customers. However, it still charges $250 in application fees - the highest of all the big four banks - potentially mitigating some of the savings a lower rate may offer.

What to keep in mind 

There is more to a personal loan or a car loan than a waived upfront fee. It is crucial that you compare a range of factors, including interest rates, ongoing fees and features offered. Be sure to thoroughly compare your options to ensure you choose a personal loan or car loan that may work for you.

Disclaimer: This promotional offer applies to eligible customers with Excellent Credit scores only (Credit Rating A+), and to loans settled with OurMoneyMarket between 1st June 2023 and 30th June 2023 inclusive. OurMoneyMarket provides loans between $2001 and $75,000.
