What is the EquiMax Loan?
The EquiMax Loan from AutoSwift Finance is a secured Medium-Amount Credit Contract (MACC) designed for Australians who need quick access to cash but want to keep driving their vehicle. By using your registered, unencumbered car, ute, or van as security, we can consider a range of credit profiles, offering an alternative to mainstream lending.
We focus on your current capacity to repay rather than just your past credit history. This makes it a viable path for those seeking bad credit loans in Newcastle. Throughout the 12-month fixed term, the vehicle remains in your possession so your daily routine is never disrupted.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a bad credit loan with vehicle security?
It is a secured personal loan where you use your registered vehicle (such as a car, ute, or van) as collateral. This security allows lenders like AutoSwift Finance to consider applicants with impaired credit histories, provided they have the current capacity to manage repayments. You keep driving your vehicle throughout the loan term.
Which company is the best for bad credit loans in Newcastle?
AutoSwift Finance is one of the premier choices for Newcastle residents seeking vehicle-secured loans. With our EquiMax Loan, we offer a transparent, fixed-rate product, no monthly account-keeping fees, and the ability to keep driving your car. We focus on responsible lending and real human assessments rather than automated rejections.
What are the vehicle security requirements?
The vehicle must be registered in your name, comprehensively insured, unencumbered (meaning there is no existing finance on it), and must not be written off. We accept most standard cars, utes, and vans.
What are the interest rates and fees?
The EquiMax Loan features a fixed interest rate of 47% p.a. (Comparison rate 65.61% p.a. based on a $2,500 loan over 24 months). Upfront fees total $416 (including a $400 establishment fee, $2 PPSR check, $6 PPSR registration, and $8 credit check) which are deducted from your loan amount. There are no monthly account-keeping fees or early payout fees.
Can I pay off my loan early?
Yes. Early payout is available subject to the terms of your contract. AutoSwift Finance does not charge any early payout or exit fees, allowing you to save on interest if you choose to clear your balance ahead of schedule.
What happens if I cannot make a repayment?
This is a secured loan. If you fail to meet your repayment obligations, your secured asset may be repossessed. If you experience financial hardship, we encourage you to contact our support team immediately to discuss alternative arrangements. A direct debit dishonour fee of $35 applies for missed payments.
