Bank SA car loans – Choose what’s best for your auto needs

For Bank SA, it all started in 1848 when John Hector set up a one-man, one-room financial institution and named it the Savings Bank of South Australia. These humble beginnings later set the course for acquisition by St. George Bank more than a century later.

Due to a subsequent merger, Bank SA is now a Westpac division and has “South Australia’s largest network of branches and ATMs.” It offers credit cards, home loans, savings accounts, and other specialist lending products. The list also includes personal loans for cars, a product which is fully explained in our Bank SA car loans guide.

Quick details about Bank SA car loans

Disclaimer: Please note that Bank SA has consolidated its car loans with its personal loans. Therefore, Bank SA car loans are simply personal loans taken out for the specific reason of buying a car.

  • How much? – Loan amounts range from $2K and $80K
  • How long? – Repayments are made over 1 to 7 years
  • Interest rate – Starts from 7.49%
  • Interest rate type – Fixed or variable
  • Security – Secured or unsecured
  • Uses – Suitable for a new or used car

Which loans does Bank SA offer when buying a car?

  • Bank SA secured personal loan. When you offer your car as security, you can borrow between $5,000 and $80,000 at a low rate of 7.49% (fixed rate) or 12.74% (variable rate), which is lower than an unsecured loan. To be eligible, the car must be registered under your name, and it should be 12 years old or less by the time you pay off your debt. It should also be a four-wheel vehicle with no extensive damage or previous write-offs. Lastly, you must insure the car according to Bank SA requirements.
  • Bank SA unsecured personal loan. This allows you to borrow between $2,000 and $50,000 without using your car as security. You get an interest rate of 9.99% (fixed rate) or 12.99% (variable rate).

Features of Bank SA car loans

  • Fixed or variable rate. Fixed rate loans come with set repayments and protection from interest rate hikes, so you always know how much to budget. On the other hand, variable rate loans are more flexible since they allow you to make fee-free extra repayments.
  • Redraw facility. Another advantage of variable rate products is you can withdraw your extra repayments if the need arises.
  • Repayment frequency. It’s possible to opt for weekly, fortnightly, or monthly repayments. Our Bank SA car loan calculator is available if you want to estimate your loan repayments.
  • Loan terms. These can be either 1-5 years for fixed rates or 1-7 years for variable rates.

Fees and charges

  • Establishment fee – $195
  • Monthly admin fee – $12
  • Per each redraw (variable rates) – $10
  • Early repayment fee (within the first 12 months) – $150
  • Early repayment fee (after the first 12 months) – $100
  • Break costs may also apply to fixed rate options. Other fees may also apply. Please note fees and rates are subject to change.

How to apply for a Bank SA car loan

  • Be at least 18 years of age.
  • Have permanent employment
  • Have a regular, pretax income of at least $35,000 p.a.
  • Be an Aussie citizen, permanent resident, or non-resident with confirmed employment in Australia.

You should also provide the following information and documents:

  • Recent payslips and bank statements (for non Bank SA customers).
  • Tax information if you’re self-employed.
  • Details about your assets, savings, investments, other income, liabilities, and expenses.

The application process can take between 10 and 20 minutes. If you decide to apply, things that could improve your chances include paying your other debts on time and checking your credit score. You should also avoid multiple applications since these can dent your credit score.
