Target Market

Target Market

The Consumer Secured Asset Loan is designed for individual or joint borrowers aged between 18 and 65 years who meet GLA’s credit policy, and who need from $6,000 to $45,000 for 3-5 years to purchase a motor vehicle or motorcycle to benefit the borrower(s). The borrower(s) may (optionally) want the flexibility to borrow more than the vehicle’s value to pay for the associated vehicle and fees such as but not limited to stamp duty, registration, origination costs, insurance, warranty and roadside without the need for a deposit.

Customer needs, objectives and financial situation

The Consumer Secured Asset Loan is designed for individuals who:

  • need to borrow between $6,000 to $45,000*;
  • need a fixed interest rate loan for between 3 to 5 years;
  • accept that since the interest rate is fixed, if they repay earlier, an early termination fee may be payable;
  • need a loan to buy a motor vehicle or motorcycle (certain other vehicles may be considered subject to being an acceptable security under GLA’s credit policy which is amended from time to time) from a motor dealer or private seller;
  • want to own the motor vehicle or motorcycle (rather than lease the motor vehicle or motorcycle);
  • agree to secure their loan with the financed asset in order access the product;
  • may optionally want to share the loan with a partner or spouse;
  • may optionally want to borrow more than the vehicle’s value to pay for associated vehicle and fees such as but not limited to stamp duty, registration, origination costs, insurance and warranty without the need for a deposit;
  • may optionally want to use a lender who offers credit risk-based pricing so that they can access a relatively better rate for having a better quality credit risk profile;
  • have an acceptable source of income*;
  • have a valid Australian driver’s licence or permit;
  • is an Australian citizen, permanent resident or acceptable visa holder with a fixed Australian address; and
  • hold an Australian bank account;
