Wisr car loans

Wisr offers fixed rate loans to everyday borrowers that can be used to buy cars, motorbikes or other vehicles. Security may be required for these asset purchases. This lender does not provide variable rate loans.

Wisr provides personal loans of between $5,000 and $50,000 and terms of either three or five years. Repayments are made monthly.

Wisr personal loans have personalised interest rates. Personalised rates mean that the interest rate offered is dependent on the borrower’s credit history. Borrowers with good credit will receive a lower interest rate than borrowers with bad credit.

Wisr charges a one-off establishment fee and late repayment fees, but does not charge ongoing fees or early repayment fees.

Because Wisr does not operate any branches, customers must contact Wisr by phone or online enquiry. Online enquiries can be submitted at any time, or you can ring them on weekdays from 9am to 5:30pm (AEDT).

As Wisr is an online-only neo-lender, it may appeal to borrowers who prefer managing their car loans digitally.  Borrowers may not find Wisr suitable if they prefer face-to-face interaction, as this lender has no branches. Additionally, this lender does not offer variable rate loans, so it may not suit those looking for flexibility in their loan.

Wisr charges a one-off establishment fee and no ongoing fees. Customers generally won’t be penalised if they pay out their loan early.

Because Wisr does not have the large overheads of a traditional bank, it is able to offer moderate car loan interest rates for applicants with a strong credit record.

Note that this lender personalises its car loan rates depending on the borrower’s credit risk profile. Those with a poor credit history may only be able to borrow funds on a high interest rate.

It is generally advised that borrowers compare interest rates, fees and features from different lenders before signing up for a car loan.
