BankVic personal loans review

There is a limited number of personal loan options available from BankVic. Only those working within the police force, emergency services or healthcare (or their families and friends) have access to a BankVic personal loan.

Low interest rates are not available for those who borrow from BankVic. This could be an issue for borrowers who want to minimise the risk of additional debt.

There is also a low upfront fee payable, but no monthly ongoing fees. Some borrowers might see value in these potential savings.

No redraw facility is available with BankVic personal loans. This could be a deterrent for those who would like the option of borrowing back some of the money they’ve already paid off the loan balance.
