Features of a Beyond Bank car loan

Depending on which Beyond Bank car loan you decide on you could have access to a range of different features. These may include the ability to make extra repayments and a redraw facility if you wish to access these payments at a later date. If you do wish to take advantage of these features, you will end up paying a higher interest rate so it is important to weigh up what may be of the greatest use to you.

Beyond Bank car loans have various minimum borrowing amounts from $5000-$10,000 and can be repaid in a period of up to seven years. If you wish to pay off the loan sooner there are no additional penalties. Some of Beyond Bank’s car loans will have a restriction on how old a used car can be when purchased if you plan to use the car as security. If you are unsure if the vehicle you have in mind will qualify for the loan, then it is good to contact the lender before making your decision.

Beyond Bank offers a range of car loans that will appeal to borrowers who are looking to keep costs down. Depending on what you are looking for in a loan, Beyond Bank offers below average interest rates and fee free loans that are quite competitive if you meet the eligibility criteria. If you prefer flexibility in a car loan, Beyond Bank also has loan options that may suit although you will be paying a higher interest rate for the privilege.

Beyond Bank offer environmental discounts to borrowers who are purchasing a vehicle for an approved environmental purpose. If you think your vehicle may qualify then you should contact the lender to see what kind of discounts may apply. Borrowers who are looking to purchase a used vehicle may find that not all Beyond Bank loans will be suitable for their needs as the car will need to be less than six years old.
