What Is a Car Equity Loan?

A car equity loan is a secured loan that uses an approved vehicle or asset as security for borrowed funds. With AutoSwift Finance, the EquiMax Loan is designed for eligible Australians who need short-term cash flow support and can provide acceptable security registered in their name.

The vehicle remains in your possession and you can keep driving it throughout the fixed 12 month repayment term. A PPSR security interest is registered against the approved vehicle, and repayment obligations continue under the loan contract.
