Variable Rate Personal Loans

Variable rate personal loans are a type of personal loan that offers a variable interest rate. A variable rate means that the rate is not fixed and that it may change with the movements of the cash rate set by the Reserve Bank of Australia.

Below are some advantages and disadvantages of variable rate personal loans:

Advantages of a variable rate

  • If the Reserve Bank lowers interest rates, you can expect the required repayments of your variable rate loan to decrease as well
  • Variable rate loans are more flexible and may allow you to make extra repayments or pay out the loan early without penalties
  • A variable interest rate also does not have a fixed time frame, therefore allowing you to pay off a loan quicker and with less interest
  • By making additional repayments you will be able to shorten the loan term and the overall cost of the loan

Disadvantages of a variable rate

  • If the Reserve Bank increases interest rates, you can expect the required repayments of your variable rate loan to increase as well.
  • As the interest rate changes, so will your repayments therefore it can make it difficult for borrowers to budget their repayments.
