Vehicle Finance
Car finance is offered to customers who get some or all their regular funds from Centrelink payments. Many lenders can be unwilling to finance car loans to people receiving Centrelink benefits. Luckily, Money3 will consider all sources of income when reviewing loan applications. Whether you receive some or all your income from Centrelink payments, Money3 could approve your application for a car loan1.
No, sorry. Money3 will consider all Centrelink benefits except for Abstudy, Austudy and Youth Allowance payments.
You could borrow up to $75,000 with Centrelink income and earnings from employment, depending on affordability1. If you’re a first-time customer and your total income is over 50% and up to 100% from Centrelink, the maximum amount Money3 could finance would be $10,000.
Yes, if you are a current or existing customer with most of your income from Centrelink, you can borrow more than $10,000. The affordability of the loan and your repayment history will be considered before you can be approved1.
Your monthly, weekly or fortnightly repayments will depend on the amount you borrow and the length of the loan term. Use our car loan calculator to quickly estimate what your repayments could be for different loan amounts.
Money3 has a quick and straightforward application process, so all the information you need to start your application should be easy to find. We will need confirmation of your contact details, address, and a breakdown of your employment and regular expenses (like rental bills). You can speed up the process by confirming your driver’s license. Once we have this information, due to responsible lending obligations, we will need 90 days of bank statements which you can provide easily and securely online in a few minutes.
No. The vehicle you purchase will act as security for the car loan, so you don’t need to provide any other collateral.
No, a deposit is not a requirement. However, having money saved up and combining it with a loan from Money3 could enable you to get a higher value vehicle.
No, Money3 has no restrictions on how you choose to find a vehicle. Dealerships and private sales are OK.
Yes, it is possible. Complete your application the same way you would as a single applicant, and then let us know that you’d like to make it a joint application. A joint application could enable you to borrow more1.
Yes, you could1. Money3 will examine your financial situation and determine whether the car loan is affordable for you. We specialise in providing flexible finance options to Centrelink customers and others with irregular financial circumstances. We’ll give you a fair go no matter where your income comes from or whether you have a bad credit history1. Find more information about Pensioner Car Loans.
Money3 believes in a fair go for everyone who wants to apply for finance. We take a flexible approach to lending that enables us to provide loans to people that are typically refused finance by other lenders. We consider the entirety of a customer’s financial circumstances when they apply and won’t reject them solely because they receive government benefits or have a low credit score.
Money3 is a responsible lender regulated by ASIC. Our Australian Credit Licence is 389 067.
