Overview

Overview of Personal Finance

A quick look at how personal loans and car loans work. We compare rates from 50+ lenders for debt consolidation, new and used car finance, and unsecured personal loans. $0 broker fees.

What is a personal loan?

A personal loan is a fixed amount borrowed over 1–7 years with predictable repayments — used for debt consolidation, renovations, weddings, holidays, medical costs and more. Most are unsecured; secured options (including car loans) use an asset as collateral and usually offer lower rates. We compare secured and unsecured loans from 50+ lenders so you get a structure that fits your budget.

Car loans – new & used

Secured car loans for new and used vehicles — with the car as security — typically offer lower rates than unsecured personal loans. We help with dealer and private sale purchases, refinancing existing car loans, and EV / green car loans. We explain secured vs unsecured options so you don't overpay for dealer finance.

Debt consolidation

Consolidating multiple high-interest debts — credit cards, buy-now-pay-later, store cards, other loans — into one personal loan at a lower rate can simplify your finances and reduce total interest. We model whether consolidation makes sense before you commit, and we match you to lenders with strong consolidation products.

Everyday goals & life events

Renovations, weddings, holidays, medical or dental procedures, education, moving costs and emergencies — we structure personal loans so repayments fit your cash flow and you know exactly when the loan will be repaid.

The numbers

As of 2026, secured personal loans start from around 5.67% p.a.; unsecured from ~5.76% p.a., with average unsecured rates closer to 13–14% p.a. The difference between two rates over a 3–7 year term can mean thousands in interest. Use our Loan Repayment Calculator to model repayments, then speak with us for personalised options (no obligation).

Personal Finance Types

Two Core Solutions We Specialise In

Whether you need an unsecured personal loan for a renovation or life event, or a car loan for a new or used vehicle, we compare options from 50+ lenders and structure repayments that fit your budget.

1. Personal Loans

Unsecured personal loans for debt consolidation, renovations, weddings, holidays, medical or dental procedures, moving costs and more. Loan amounts typically from $2,000–$100,000 over 1–7 years. Secured personal loans are available where an asset (e.g. a car) is offered as security and can deliver lower rates. We compare personal loans from 50+ lenders so you get a rate and structure that suit your income and timeframe.

2. Car Loans – New & Used

Secured car loans for new and used vehicles, with the car as security, typically offer lower rates than unsecured personal loans. We arrange finance for dealer and private sale purchases, refinancing existing car loans, and EV / green car loans. We help you avoid overpaying for dealer finance by comparing offers from banks, credit unions and specialist lenders.

Understanding

What Is Personal Finance? (In More Detail)

Personal finance at RyRo covers personal loans and car loans — unsecured and secured — used to fund life events, manage debt, and purchase vehicles. Getting the structure right can save thousands in interest and make repayments more manageable.

3key things to know

1. Secured vs unsecured matters

Secured loans (often car loans) use an asset as collateral and usually offer lower rates. Unsecured loans don't require collateral but carry higher rates. We explain which structure suits your purpose and profile before you apply.

2. Rate and fee differences are real

The gap between a 7% and 14% interest rate over 3–7 years can mean thousands of dollars in additional interest. We compare rates and fees across 50+ lenders, not just the bank you already use or the first offer from a dealer.

3. Purpose and term should align

Shorter terms reduce total interest but increase monthly repayments; longer terms reduce repayments but cost more overall. We help align loan term and structure to your purpose — consolidation, car purchase, renovation, or life event — so you're comfortable with both the repayments and the total cost.

Who It's For

Who Benefits From Personal Finance in Sydney?

Personal loans and car loans are relevant to a wide range of borrowers in Sydney and NSW:

  1. 1

    Borrowers consolidating debt

    Those with multiple credit cards, buy-now-pay-later, or personal loans who want one structured repayment at a lower rate.

  2. 2

    New and used car buyers

    People purchasing from dealers or private sellers — or refinancing an existing car loan to a sharper rate.

  3. 3

    Home improvers

    Borrowers funding renovations, upgrades, or repairs where a personal loan is faster and simpler than refinancing a home loan for a smaller amount.

  4. 4

    Life events & emergencies

    Weddings, holidays, education, medical or dental procedures, moving costs or unexpected expenses that can’t wait.

  5. 5

    Self-employed borrowers

    Those whose income is primarily self-employed and need guidance on which lenders are most accommodating of their documentation and income structure.

The Process

How Personal Loans and Car Loans Work

We assess your needs, compare options across 50+ lenders, prepare your application, and manage the process through to approval and settlement.

5key steps
  1. 1

    Tell us your goal

    Debt consolidation, car purchase, renovation, wedding, holiday, medical or other purpose — plus your income, employment type, and existing debts.

  2. 2

    Lender and product matching

    We shortlist lenders whose criteria and products fit your profile — secured vs unsecured, fixed vs variable, loan term and features — and recommend options with clear pros and cons.

  3. 3

    Documentation and application

    We tell you exactly what documents are needed (payslips, bank statements, ID, etc.) and prepare the application so it is complete from day one.

  4. 4

    Approval and settlement

    Many lenders can issue conditional approval within minutes; full approval often within 24–48 hours for straightforward applications. We coordinate settlement and ensure funds are released or the car is paid as required.

  5. 5

    After settlement

    We remain available for questions, and when your situation changes we can review your loan to see whether refinancing or restructuring makes sense.

Myth busting

Common Misconceptions About Personal Loans and Car Loans

  • "Personal loans are always more expensive than credit cards." Not necessarily. Many personal loan rates are significantly lower than credit card rates, and the fixed term means the debt is paid off rather than revolving indefinitely.
  • "Dealer finance is always the best option for a car." Dealer finance can be convenient but is not always the cheapest or most flexible. We compare dealer offers against 50+ lenders so you can see the real numbers before you sign anything.
  • "If I have a small credit issue, I can't get approved." Minor credit issues do not automatically mean decline. We identify lenders whose policies are more accommodating and present your application in the strongest way.
Eligibility

Who Qualifies for Personal Loans and Car Loans?

Most lenders require you to be at least 18, an Australian citizen or permanent resident (some accept eligible visa holders), have regular income above a minimum threshold (often $35,000–$45,000 p.a.), and a credit profile that supports the requested amount. They assess your income, expenses, and existing debts to ensure the repayments are affordable.

Self-employed borrowers can still qualify — documentation usually involves tax returns and financials, or alternative documentation for certain lenders. Vehicle age, loan term and security also affect car loan eligibility. We assess your full profile and only recommend lenders likely to approve you.

Personal loans

Personal loans can be used for most legitimate personal expenses: debt consolidation, renovations, weddings, holidays, medical or dental procedures, moving costs, education, large purchases and more. The lender may ask the purpose, but most purposes are acceptable. We help structure the loan so repayments fit your budget.
Secured personal loans use an asset (often a car) as collateral and usually offer lower interest rates and higher maximum amounts. Unsecured loans do not require collateral; approval is based on your credit profile and income, and rates are higher. For cars under about 7–12 years old, a secured car loan is usually cheaper; for everything else, unsecured is typically the right structure.
Most lenders offer personal loans from around $2,000 up to $100,000 depending on your income, existing debts, credit history, and whether the loan is secured or unsecured. We assess your situation and tell you what is realistic before any application is lodged, so you don’t apply for more than a lender will approve.
As of 2026, secured personal loans start from around 5.67% p.a. with average rates near 9.6% p.a. Unsecured personal loans start from approximately 5.76% p.a., with average rates closer to 13–14% p.a. The rate you are offered depends on your credit score, income, debts and loan purpose. We compare multiple lenders and negotiate on your behalf.

Car loans

Most car loans in Australia are secured: the vehicle is used as collateral and the lender registers an interest over it. You borrow a set amount, repay it over 1–7 years at a fixed rate, and the security is released once the loan is paid out. This structure delivers lower rates than unsecured loans. We arrange finance for dealer and private sale purchases, new and used vehicles, and EVs.
Yes. Many lenders will finance used vehicles and private sales, subject to age, condition and valuation checks. Typical rules: the car must not be too old at the end of the loan term (often ≤12 years), must not be a repairable write-off, and must be properly insured. We identify lenders whose policies suit your specific vehicle.
Yes. Several lenders offer special rates for eligible electric and hybrid vehicles. We compare standard and green car loan products to find the most competitive option, and ensure the structure (balloon payments, term length) fits your usage and resale expectations.
3

Eligibility & process

Most lenders require you to be at least 18, an Australian citizen or permanent resident (some accept certain visa holders), have regular income, and meet minimum income thresholds (often $35,000–$45,000 p.a.). PAYG borrowers provide recent payslips; self-employed usually provide tax returns or business financials. Lenders also look at your credit history and existing debts.
For straightforward personal loan and car loan applications, many lenders can issue conditional approval within minutes and full approval within 24–48 hours once documents are supplied. More complex or self-employed applications may take longer. We prepare your application correctly so it moves as fast as possible.
No. RyRo Loan Centre charges $0 broker fees for personal loans and car loans. We are paid by the lender when your loan settles. You get expert comparison across 50+ lenders, guidance on structure, and help with the application and settlement at no direct cost.
