Types of loan Oxford Finance offers

Oxford Finance provides vehicle, personal and business loans.

Interest rates range from 7.95% to 25.95%. The rate that you will be offered is based on factors such as:

• Your credit score and credit history
• Personal profile
• Type of security provided and its value

Additional fees may apply, including registration a caveat over a property, early repayment and modifications to your loan contract.

Vehicle loans

If you are looking to buy a new car, motorbike or motorhome, an Oxford Finance vehicle loan may be able to help you get your hands on that new set of wheels.

You can purchase a vehicle from a dealer or a private seller, but the vehicle must be insured for theft and accidental damage at a minimum.

Personal loans

A personal loan from Oxford Finance can provide much-needed funds for anything from booking in that dream holiday to consolidating debt.

Business loans

Whether you are looking for lease finance, property finance, working capital or funds for business equipment or stock, an Oxford Finance business loan can provide you with up to $100,000. Applications are welcome from sole traders and start-ups.
