A secured loan is secured against an asset that you own. This will be your car or other vehicle that can be registered as security against the loan. That means if you fail to make repayments on a secured loan, the asset (the security) may be taken [repossessed] as part of the agreement and sold with the proceeds of the sale used to cover the outstanding balance on the loan. Due to these loans being secured against assets, consumers can often borrow more at a lower interest rate, in comparison to an unsecured loan.
An unsecured loan is simply a personal loan that is not secured against an asset. Unsecured loans are usually offered at lower borrowing amounts and with a higher interest rate.
Pepper Money offers both unsecured and secured personal loan products.
Once you’ve received full approval on your loan and we have received the necessary documentation, the funds will typically be transferred into your nominated bank account the next business day (subject to your bank’s direct credit processing times).

** All Comparison Rates are calculated based on an unsecured loan of $30,000 over a 5 year term. WARNING: This comparison rate is true only for the examples given and may not include all fees and charges. Different terms, fees or other loan amounts might result in a different comparison rate.
