About St.George car loans
From its foundation as a building society in 1937, to its establishment as a bank in 1992, to its merge with Westpac in 2008, St.George has provided Australian customers and clients with an assortment banking services.

Features of a St.George car loan
It’s important to note that St.George doesn’t offer car loans specifically – it instead offers personal loans, which can be used to purchase a new or used car. This isn’t that unusual – many car loans are essentially just secured personal loans with fixed interest rates – however St.George also offers additional options.
You can choose one of four available St.George car loan options, depending on whether you’d prefer a personal loan that’s secured or unsecured, and fixed or variable.
Plus, if you’re an existing St.George customer, you may be eligible for other special offers, such as having your establishment fees waived.

What RateCity says:
If the main feature you’re looking for in a car loan is a low interest rate, then the secured fixed rate car loan option from St.George should be the way to go. With the value of your vehicle reducing St.George’s risk, you’ll be able to benefit from a reduced interest rate that helps to keep your repayments consistently low for the full term of the loan.
If you’re looking for greater flexibility in your car loan, consider one of St.George’s variable rate options. Each of these loans offers access to a Redraw facility, so if you make extra payments to get ahead on your car loan, you’ll have the option to withdraw this money again, should the need arise.
Regardless of which St.George car loan you choose, the same fees and charges will apply, both at the establishment of the loan and monthly.
