Podcast Cover Image Paige covers the RBAs 29 September cash rate hike to 4.60%, big four banks passing on the rise from 9 October, the RBAs Financial Stability Review noting resilience with pockets of stress, and the 1 October removal of card payment surcharges. She explains why these moves matter for borrowers and small businesses, and suggests practical next steps: use calculators, compare lenders, prepare documentation, and consider loan features and leasing options. Listeners are invited to visit anyloan.com.au for tools and a free eligibility check.

Understanding loan eligibility

Different lenders apply different eligibility criteria. Learn about the income, documentation and credit-history factors that may form part of a lender's assessment. Our guides explain these concepts generally; they do not assess whether you qualify for a loan.

Multiple lenders

A broker may help consumers compare loan offers, rates & options from multiple lenders. A broker's panel may not include all lenders or products in the market, and rates may vary based on the borrower's circumstances. Learn how brokers operate and what to consider when comparing loans.

Understanding credit checks

Multiple credit applications recorded on your credit file can affect a lender's assessment and your borrowing options. Brokers or lenders may check your credit file as part of their assessment process with your consent.

Frequently Asked Questions

    responsible lending
    Borrowing costs: unsecured personal loans
    The following information is about unsecured personal loans.
    Repayment periods, interest rates and fees vary by lender and loan type. When comparing loans, consider the comparison rate where available, fees, repayment schedule and total amount repayable, rather than the interest rate alone.
    Secured loans use an asset as security. They may have lower interest rates than unsecured loans, but the asset may be at risk if repayments are not made. A lower repayment over a longer term does not necessarily mean a lower total cost.

    The latest Reserve Bank lending-rate data gives Australian small business owners another reason to look beyond the first offer on the table.

The July update indicates that private sector credit is still expanding, with business lending remaining an important source of momentum.

    RBA Minutes Signal a Longer Wait for Easier Borrowing Conditions
    26 Aug 2026: Paige Estritori
    The Reserve Bank’s latest meeting minutes have added more detail to the message borrowers heard after the earlier August rate decision: policy makers are not yet ready to declare victory over inflation, even if some parts of the economy are clearly slowing. For households, sole traders and SMEs, that means borrowing plans still need to be built around current lending conditions rather than expectations of a quick fall in rates. - read more

    The Reserve Bank of Australia’s August decision to leave the cash rate unchanged at 4.35% keeps a familiar message in place for Australian borrowers: relief may come eventually, but loan decisions still need to be made on today’s numbers.
