While both personal loans and credit cards can be used for personal expenses, there are some key differences.

A personal loan provides a fixed loan amount that is repaid over an agreed loan term with scheduled repayments. Credit cards provide a revolving line of credit that can be reused as repayments are made, with minimum monthly repayment requirements.

At Rapid Loans, personal loans are secured using an eligible registered vehicle and are subject to our lending criteria and approval.

Rapid Loans offers loan terms from 12 to 60 months, subject to approval. The available loan term will depend on your approved loan amount and our lending criteria. Repayments can be made weekly, fortnightly or monthly, depending on your approved loan agreement.

Yes. Rapid Loans offers secured personal loans that may be used to consolidate eligible debts, subject to our lending criteria and approval.

Debt consolidation combines eligible debts into a single loan with one repayment schedule. Whether a debt consolidation loan is suitable will depend on your individual circumstances, and the total cost of the new loan will depend on factors such as your approved interest rate, fees and loan term.
