How much does a loan cost?
When you are looking at the cost of an MTF Finance loan, there are fees and interest to take into account. You can also opt for Payment Waiver an add on that covers your repayments, or Mechanical Breakdown Insurance if you are taking out a loan for a car or motorbike.
Interest
The interest rate for MTF Finance loans ranges from 11.35% - 23.35% p.a. When you apply, you will be allocated an interest rate based on your credit report and other factors. Interest rates are fixed for the duration of the loan.
For example, you may be eligible for an interest rate of 10.5% p.a. if you have an excellent credit rating. This will increase to around 14.20% p.a. if you have a good credit rating, and even higher to 18.20% p.a. for a not so good credit rating.
Fees
All MTF Finance loans have upfront and ongoing fees including:
- Establishment fee of up to Up to $376
- Personal Property Securities Register fee of $10.35
- Monthly maintenance fee of up to $8.50
If you decide to pay your loan off sooner than the final payment due date, a $28 early repayment fee will be charged.
Penalty interest is charged if you default on your loan.
You can get an estimate on how much your loan will cost over various loan terms by using the loan calculator on the MTF Finance website.
This calculator includes interest and fees, but keep in mind that it uses an example interest rate of 14.20% p.a. The total cost of your loan may be higher or lower depending on your personal interest rate.
Payment Waiver
Payment Waiver is an option that you can add to your loan. If an unexpected life event occurs and you are unable to meet your repayments, they will be waived if your claim is approved.
Payment Waiver provides cover in the event of redundancy, disablement, terminal illness, death and bankruptcy for the self-employed. The cost varies depending on the size of the loan but you can request a quote during the application process.
Mechanical Breakdown Insurance
If you are taking out a loan to purchase a car or motorcycle, you can add Mechanical Breakdown Insurance. This covers electrical and mechanical problems and also includes AA Roadservice.
The cost of Mechanical Breakdown Insurance will depend on the value and type of vehicle. Instead of paying the entire cost upfront, the premium is spread over your loan term.
