RACQ personal loans review

RACQ personal loans may appeal to borrowers who are already members, or would like to become a member, of RACQ. Borrowers may be attracted to the flexible repayment options as well as the lack of ongoing fees. However, the interest rates vary based on the borrower’s profile, so before committing to an RACQ loan, it’s worth speaking to the lender about whether you’re a candidate for a lower rate.

RACQ personal loans can be used for a variety of purposes, like weddings, cars, caravans, boats, refinancing and debt consolidation.

While the interest rate is on the high side, borrowers can make unlimited additional repayments with no fees and can choose to pay out the loan early without penalty.

RACQ has a number of branches in areas of Queensland. Borrowers who don’t live near a branch can contact the lender by phone and online seven days a week.
